Miltonia Phalaenopsis - The Phalaenopsis-Like Miltoniopsis

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

This remarkable botanical print highlights the beauty of Miltonia Phalaenopsis, which is more popularly known today as Miltoniopsis Phalaenopsis, which was first described by the famous nurseryman, Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, in his classic botanical reference work, Reichenbachia.

The orchid is referred to as the "Pansy Orchid," as it is flat-faced and displays unique mask-like designs. The print reflects the exceptional skills of Victorian botanists in rendering orchids in their purest form, showcasing the white petals and the dramatic purple waterfall design of the plant.
