Feature
Large seedling, NOT in flower nowProduces beautiful lavender flowers
Free growing instructions included
Good beginner plant
Description
This one is Miltassia Charles M Fitch 'Izumi' AM/AOS. 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. These are seedlings, about 18 to 24 months from first flowering if properly grown. 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! 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. We guarantee customer satisfaction on arrival.4. Howeaara Lava Burst 'Puanani' AM/AOS Easy To Grow & Bloom! Collector's item! Orchid Plant
