Orchid of the Week: Miltoniopsis Herralexandre (Pansy Orchid)

The Miltoniopsis Herralexandre, also called the pansy orchid, is hybrid of M. Alexandre and M. Herrenhausen. We first spotted these beautiful orchids at a New York Botanical Garden Orchid Show.

Growing Notes
Grow the plant in cool to intermediate temperatures in a shady position, and keep it moist. The fragrant blooms last up to five weeks and appear at any time during the spring and early summer. During the fall months, a second flowering will often provide you with more blooms. Each spike carries from one to three large, flat, pansy-shaped blooms.
