Miltassia Charles M Fitch orchid Near Blooming Size
This one is Miltassia Charles M Fitch 'Izumi' AM/AOS, a Near Blooming Size orchid that puts out lovely
flowers. A member of the oncidium family, this orchid (Brs varrucosa x Milt spectabilis) blooms
twice a year when mature and pretty much grows like the proverbial weed. The flowers are just
amazing -- relatively large, somewhat spidery and simply stunning. The color is a wonderful
mottled lavender/purple on the petals and sepals, with a little olive green in the background; the large lip is a stunning
lavender with some spots in the center. Mature plants can have 6 to 8 flowers per bloom spike
and we have seen some grown up specimens with a dozen or more spikes all at once. Spectacular! This
one is a clone of the award winning Miltassia Charles. M. Fitch 'Izumi' AM/AOS. It is near blooming
size, likely to flower within 18 months or so. It is freshly repotted in a 4 inch pot. They are not in flower now. These are easy to grow. Medium light and water are best, fertilize weakly twice a month. We have a bunch of these
and we'll pick out a nice one for you. You can buy with confidence. Orchids from The Orchid
Gallery are guaranteed. Period.
