I bought this about 4 or 5 years ago and never bloomed until last year. I thought it was an Oncidium when I bought it but now I'm pretty sure its a Miltassia 'Royal Robe', what do you think.
I think you are on to something. Couple things, it has the Brassia genetics in both the petals and the pseudobulbs, and it has the Miltonia lower lip. Beyond that, I have no clue.
I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
Hi Jo Ann , it sure does look like 'Jerry's Pick' except mine has some striping on the sepals and lip but it is most likely a variation of it. Mine has much shorter leaves also. I think I will label it "Miltassia 'Royal Robe' ?"
I have the Mtssa. 'Royal Robe' also and it's just blossoming for the very first time here too. Got it at a HD about a year ago and it is exactly like yours...leaves and all. Mine is starting to have a very nice fragrance. Have you tried smelling it yet? Took a few days.
You have very nice blooms! Looks nice and healthy too. Kudos! kiki
