Identification please

[Townsville]

I have just bought a plant, but arriving home have trouble reading the label. It seems to say Milt Bluntiihn. Can anyone help please?

It's a natural hybrid of Miltonia, check the link:
Miltonia × bluntii Rchb.f. (1879) (= Miltonia clowesii × Miltonia spectabilis) (Brazil)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miltonia

Its a Miltonia for sure....Not certain but about the rest of the name....looks similar to purple queen

[agarrat]

I don't think its that hybrid...check piture http://www.orchidspecies.com/miltxbluntii.htm

[Aniko]

Agarrat, please check the link I gave. It's a NATURAL hybrid. If Wikipedia is wrong...well, I am wrong too.

[agarrat]

It is a natural hybrid...but not the plant in the picture...I did check your link...it only noted the hybrid...there was no picture of it...My link did have a picture of the plant you are speaking about.

[Aniko]

OK that means there is something wrong whit that label...was mistakenly attached to that particular plant.Your source I'm sure is accurate .

[Townsville]

Oh dear! Looking at the label in light of the above, it could well read Milt. Bluntii 4N. Certainly the colours are block purple - no white at all. It is nicely perfumed.

It certainly has Miltonia spectabilis moreliana as a parent

Townville you got the name correct there see linkhttp://www.asukaorchids.com/miltoniapics.html

Interesting fragrant....i would love a plant like that

[Townsville]

Brilliant agarrat - yes - Miltonia Bluntii 4n - as pictured exactly! Thanks.

HOWEVER - I made a mistake about the fragrance. It was coming from Lc Imperial Torch "Glowing Sunset" x B/c Burdekin Glow beside it. That smells exactly like a rose

[agarrat]

Ok cool....I wonder if there is a tread in here for fragrant flowers?

I had a Bluntii years ago and it looked more like your plant than the one on Jay Pfal's Encyclopedia site.
