The
popularity of Miltonia orchids is spreading, thanks to several vigorous modern
hybrids
which bloom in abundance. Because of the familiar shape and markings of these
spectacular flowers, Miltonias are often known as the Pansy Orchid.
These richly colored flowers bloom profusely, and while they may last up to
a month, their life is short as a cut flower. Miltonias can be cultured easily
in the home, as well as in green houses and generally bloom in spring and fall.
