Well, well, well... what an awkward situation... (I'd really love to add the Maleficent GIF somewhere here). I should tell you the whole story from the beginning, although if you followed my YouTube channel you should know how it started; anyway in the start this orchid was expected to be something else. A totally different genre, cross, hybrid, family - you name it. When it formed a flower spike I was soo excited and then the buds, one by one, from pale green/white started turning deep purple and I panicked. Because what on earth is happening, it's not supposed be this color, why are there markings on the outside of the leaf. Oh my God! So, back to the matter at hand, this orchid is far away from the Aliceara I expected... and it's much much more than I could have hoped for! Miltassia Cairns "New River" (sometimes mistakenly named as Cairus) is a complex sympodial growing type orchid, with parents coming from both Miltonias and Brassia orchids. For those
Spending my free time in mastering the difficult (let's be honest) art of growing orchids, as well as trying to share my knowledge to people around me in the United Kingdom and further.
