I call it my orchid "Christmas tree" as the branching arrangement of the flowers resembles a shimmering pyramidal shaped evergreen fir. But of course, one could let the spike gracefully arch to one side too.

Miltonidium "Issaku Nagata"
What is not to love??!?! Tall stunning sprays of abundant and fragrant flowers adorn this mid sized orchid. And the blooms are long lasting to boot!

Miltonidium hybrid
This awesome orchid is another of my miltonidium hybrids. It is so floriferous that I usually loose count of the flowers (from 50 - 100 per spike)! The flower spike measures over 1m tall and one plant can have 2 spikes in bloom at one time. To top it off, the flowers are immensly fragrant and easily fill a whole room. The cultivar is "Issaku Nagata".
Orchids currently blooming
Here is a close up of a popular miltonidium hybrid (cross between a miltonia and an oncidium) variety named "Pupukea Sunset". This hardy little plant blooms profusely on a compact plant and multiplies very easily. An extra bonus is the fact that the flowers are wonderfuly scented!
