Miltoniopsis are commonly known as ‘pansy orchids’ because of the similarity of the flowers to pansies. The main difference between Miltonia and Miltoniopsis is their flower shape. Miltonia orchids have large, flat flowers with five petals and sepals that are usually an equal size. Miltoniopsis orchids have smaller, rounder flowers with five petals and sepals that are unequal in size. Various specimens of these orchids are on display at the Orchid Conservatory at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, North Carolina.
