Beautiful NOID Miltoniopsis

[astrid]

Yoohoo! I have been in love with this one since I saw your post, and I found one at TJs! No ID figured out yet, but I will keep on looking!

If you guys find an ID, let me know!

If so, it is rather common phenomenon on Miltoniopsis when they do not receive enough water during active growing season.
Unfortunately, badly crinkled growths usually do not make it.

When you see the actual pb part emerging from the new growth, you know the spikes are to follow soon.

I didn't mean the crinkled leaves, although I have some of them too. I meant the bloom were funky

Mine have funky blooms, too! One bloom is wrinkly, and three blooms on the same plant have multiple extra petals and other strangeness going on.

By the way, I found an ID for the pink orchid, though I am not sure it is correct, it was found on orchids.com:
Milt. Emotion 'Angel 4N' (Emoi x Nyasa)

It's definitely the right orchid based on the picture, but when I do a google image search, almost nothing comes up. Miltoniopsis Emotion Angel 4N (Emoi x Nyasa) might just be it.

Here's another image of a slightly different cross:
Miltoniopsis Emotion x Rosita - Stock Image C011/9740 - Science Photo Library

And I found a somewhat accurate mention of it in a google book:

I don't know what else to call it, but I have contacted Matsui orchids because I think they grow them and maybe I'll get some positive IDs for my plants, this one included. Maybe!

Thanks Astrid for the I.D. On this one. I went on a quest to find this one too. I bought a cutting on eBay and then, the same day, found the blooming plant at a nursery. The best fragrance yet! They are all doing well thanks to the info. from NYorchidman.

Yeah, mine smells like roses and sugar. I would wear this flower's fragrance as a perfume it is really so lovely. Though the Nelly Isler smell is my favorite, the Miltoniopsis Emotion Angel (if that is indeed its ID) is a pretty strong runner up!

I can't tolerate any man made fragrance but I love this one. I went a little crazy with these and have bought seven in the last month.

Well, Matsui got back to me and told me that this is called a "pink lemonade" but ... that also yields few results on google images. Hmm.. it shall remain a mystery.

I wish I knew the name, but oh, well...
Norman's orchids sells one hybrid that looks like mine and it is called 'Emotion'. no way to tell if they are the same thing.
The thing is they sell it for $80!

I did not see your last post. oops!
I have never spent that much money on miltoniopsis as they are quite common and always for about $35-25, which is enough for me because I usually buy a few.
I love their flowers and fragrance.

I had Hajime Ono that looked just like that.
I love them!
Yeah, I see what you mean. I see that one flower that did not develop properly.
