A great holiday orchid: Onc. Twinkle!!!




This is the free-blooming, awesome smelling Oncidium Twinkle 'Red'. It is a cross of Onc. cheirophorum (yellow) x Onc. ornithorhynchum (pink and fragrant).

It starts to spike by the end of summer and is usually in bloom for Christmas time. This is one that I bought in spike, but I also have a smaller one in spike now.

It is a easy mini grower that is a pretty relaible bloomer (mine which is quite small still bloomed last year even with only 2 psuedo-bulbs.)

I recommend it to everyone, it makes a great display and also comes in a beautiful 'white' that I like even more then the red one.

Put it in a pretty pot and you have a great holiday decoration!
