In Susan Taylor's article on Miltonia/Miltoniopsis she states, "In researching this article I was amazed that so few nurseries are selling these beautiful orchids. Santa Barbara Orchid Estates and Porter's Orchids have a few, but your best bet is to go to one of the many Spring Orchid Shows where there are almost always some of these outstanding orchids."
What many people overlook, probably because they don't think of Hawaii as a haven for Miltonias, is that we have one of the premier Miltonia/Miltoniopsis breeders. Ivan Komoda has won numerous merit awards and has also won the Riopelle Award for best Miltonia three times. His breeding has also garnered the Riopelle Award for other growers. You can get many cutting edge hybrids from him anytime. _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
