Miltonia spectabilis v moreliana 'Carmen'

[tomkalina]

In bloom this morning, a gift long ago from our friend Carmen Coll of Durban South Africa. Stayed with her and Ivan for a couple days after speaking at the Paph. Symposium in Pretoria. This clone has a beautiful shape, rich color and a heavenly fragrance.

I'm smelling it now, just looking at the photo. That fragrance is so beautiful, and also linked with so many fond memories.

Always one of my favorites. This is a beautiful clone.

Very nice one! Big labellum. I recently heard this variety has been elevated to species now. Miltonia moreliana

Thanks, Mike; I wasn't aware of the change.
