Mltnps. Lillian Nakamoto 'Tanto' (Mps. Lorene x Mps. Lynne Waihee) is a truly remarkable orchid with an incredibly distinguished black, bat marking at the center of the flower. Tanto is a relatively new variety of this hybrid registered by Hajime Ono.
As one of the most temperature tolerant Miltoniopsis varieties to date (especially during the summer months) and one that is eager to continue growing during the winter before its primary blooming season from February through to April, the Lillian Nakamoto is truly unrivaled when it comes to choosing a Miltoniopsis for beginner orchid growers.
The orchid flowers produce a light, rose-like fragrance and will sometimes display a bit of a pink blush above the black pattern especially if it was developing during the cooler months.
This genus of orchid prefers to keep its foliage relatively dry and does best growing in covered greenhouse. Miltoniopsis orchids also thrive when growing in areas where humidity can be kept relatively high and its roots can be kept cool during the summer.

I ordered Milt. Lilian Nakamoto on 08 June 2018, and it arrived very, very well packaged with not one, not two, but THREE spikes with buds! By 28 June 2018 all 11 of the buds on the center spike were open, and by 01 August all the buds on all 3 spikes were open. And Fragrant doesn't begin to describe the about 2" diameter flowers-- the scent will definitely fill a room! Absolutely incredible. Sadly, on August 25th, the flowers on the first spike started dying off, however as of today, 10 September 2018, the other two spikes are still in full bloom-- one has 8 flowers and the other has 9. Not a bad bloom-time for something that looks so delicate! The plant itself has been happily growing, and with all the flowers, I had to use twist ties and bamboo stakes to wire it to the top shelf of my plant stand to keep it from falling over. This is a wonderful orchid, and Akatsuka Orchids is my 'go to' place for plants.
Big healthy plant arrived on time in great condition with bud spike with 8 buds! All buds have opened now, less than two weeks later, and the flowers are big and beautiful!
