Miltonia clowesii

[JLu]

I'm not big on Miltonia's but this one grows great and the flowers are pretty for this kind of plant. It is not blooming now. Late summer/fall bloomer. This one is mounted on cork and has doubled in size in one year (and it just started growing for this spring). We water mounts every day. We try to keep this cool to intermediate, but it seems to tolerate the warmer temps we get in late summer without a problem. High light...5000Fc sometimes more.

That's my kind of flower. The color combination and design knock me over. I'd grab that in a second if.....I had enough light to grow it and if......I didn't live in an inferno, here in Fla.

It's truly gorgeous!

Pretty...here I go again. I want one of those. Maybe I need to change my username to "I want one too." Anyway, it has wonderful markings on the petals like brown camouflage.

I share your pain as a native of Florida. I was born and raised in Pensacola, somewhat cooler than you in winter, but same humid inferno in summer. It was a great place to grow up and I'm a proud native, but I'm not going back. Besides, I visited a couple of times and it's true, "You can never go home". Home no longer exists.

I agree Solay, I'm the worst "I want one". I want one of everything. Maybe I just need to move to Brazil.

made4engineering, you need to get into chemical engineering like us good guys. My college roommate was electrical. These guys aren't upscale......kidding! He was killed in Viet Nam before ever working as an engineer. Too bad because he opened a book, laid on the bed with the book across his face, and absorbed servomechanisms. Every EE in school came for help and I would tell them he was busy studying. They would look at him sleeping and just leave in disgust because he was a straight A student and seldom studied while awake..
