Description
Per Wikipedia: Miltoniopsis, abbreviated Mltnps in horticultural trade, is a genus of orchids native to Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. This genus comprises 5 species. Miltoniopsis's common name is Pansy Orchid.
Per http://www.guide-to-houseplants.com/pansy-orchid.html Miltoniopsis is commonly known as pansy orchid because it carries a striking resemblance to those popular garden flowers.
Their velvety, rounded petals are flat-faced, in colors ranging from white to pink to red, often with contrasting waterfall lines radiating outward from the center of the flower.
These charming flowers are fragrant and last about 4-5 weeks.
You can expect these evergreen orchids to bloom prolifically year after year. Most will bloom in spring, with some giving a second show of blooms in fall. Miltoniopsis orchid has pseudobulbs, with 1 tall leaf growing from each tip. Tall flower stems carry as many as 10 pansy-like flowers, each growing up to 4 in (10 cm) wide.
