Miltassia Shelob ‘Tolkien’

Description

2″ pot. This “spider orchid” intergeneric cross that includes Miltonia and Brassia is now called Bratonia, for whatever that’s worth. The plant is medium sized, with typical oncidium-type pseudobulbs topped by long, grassy leaves. It produces dramatic spikes of flowers with pointed, spidery petals and sepals in mahagony and green tones, with a pink lip dappled with dark spots. The ‘Shelob’ clone has solid green leaves. Good-sized mericone “seedlings”.
