The next step is the creation of two more hybrids, Miltonia Anne Warne (Miltonia Bluntii × Miltonia spectabilis) and Miltonia Gayety (Miltonia Cyrtochiloides × Miltonia spectabilis). Finally this orchid hybrids are crossed to receive the 3. generation hybrid Miltonia Honolulu. Flowers of Miltonia Honolulu get a size of about 10 cm across. Flowering period: Summer. The orchid hybrid requires intermediate temperatures and moderate light. In winter lighting should be increased to induce blooming.
