It consists of 5 species, native to Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia. They are named after Lord Fitzwilliam Milton, an English orchid enthusiast. Miltoniopsis&#8217;s common name is Pansy Orchid.<\/p>\n<p>Although the flowers are similar, Mitoniopsis differs from Miltonia by having one leaf to each pseudobulb, and a lobed column that is united to the labellum through a keel. In addition, the column is not concave at the base.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We saw, but did not buy these beautiful Miltoniopsis Orchids in the flower concession at the supermarket last week.
