Beautiful new orchid , what is she?
 

I just got this beauty from Joe Traders but I don't know what it is. Can you help. I took a close up of one of the flowers but the petals were a little bend . If you see the center , it loos like a little angel :scratchhead:

Thanks for your help!

Looks like a Miltonia or Miltoniopsis to me but I don't know which it might be :dunno:

It is a lovely chid! :drool:

Thanks! After reading your response I did a search . Glad I did because I had not idea that this one do not like the heat, and likes humidity !

definitely miltonia or miltoniopsis. i'm not sure of the species because there are so many dark red varieties.

That is a miltoniopsis - I had one very similar to it .. yes, had :_(
Allow me to scan through the past threads .. I know we have discussed the differences before ...

It's so beautiful!

Yes, it's very beautiful! Nice find.
I also read the differences between Miltonia and Miltoniopsis that Dorothy posted and found that interesting about the foliage contrasts.
Someone once told me that the only ones that have a scent is Miltoniopsis. That's how I thought to tell the difference between the two. :dunno:

wow, I never find anything like that at the local Trader Joes, I only find Pahls and paphs here. Nice color. Dorothy I know the feeling of 'HAD', I have 'HAD' quite a few.

:_( Then you share in my heartache :bua:
