None in the RHS of registered orchids, but if you go to google and put in Miltoniopsis, then select images, you will see lots a beautiful "pansy orchids" .
Then do the same again but put in Miltonia spectabilis and you will see the difference.
Vast difference in cultural requirements as well with Miltoniopsis being essentially cloud forest orchids that i cannot grow.

Are you talking hybrids or species? The species are pretty straight forward, but the hybrids are a nightmare in what they are called - sometimes Miltonia and sometimes Miltoniopsis for the same plant. I've had a couple of hybrids for years and purchased them as Miltoniopsis. I just looked them up on the RHS site and they have them listed under Miltonia.

Thanks for the info.

Googling the miltonia gave me this page:

http://www.slipperorchid.com/gallery_milt.asp

The tag on my plant says it is a Miltonia, but has no species name (the seller told me it had the wrong tag, but didnt know the exact type). The picture on the tag that says Miltonia looks like the Milt. good Vibrations 'Beach Boy".

The flowers on my plant look almost identical to the picture of Milt. (Dr. Kay Gow 'Straw-Tears' X Pearl Ono 'Illiwai').

So, does this mean I actually have a Miltoniopsis? Which means it is a cooler weather orchid that requires more water?

Your page doesn't indicate what part of the country (or world) you're in. You might want to change that so folks can give you better advice.

Generally speaking from what others have said, Miltoniopsis hybrids don't do that well in the south. I'm in MN and have never had any real problems with them. Yes, they do prefer cooler weather, but can easily deal with a few weeks of hot weather in the summer. Make sure they have a well drained mix, but don't allow them to dry out for any length of time. They also like very small pots. I grow mine outside in the summer under part sun conditions.

Thanks for all the info.

Here in Philadelphia, we do get some days that go into the 90s durinf the summer, but mostly it is the upper 80s.

I will be keeping the Miltoniopsis indoors as I live in a condo and unfortunately have no place ot put them outside.

Thanks again for all the help and clarification!!

I keep my miltonia outdoors in the shade all summer, and I live in Trenton so we get the same temps as you do. Then I bring it indoors and keep it in a cool west window for the rest of the fall and winter, and it seems to be doing okay. I will say that it likes a lot of water. In the summer I water it at least three times a week, and twice a week in the winter.
