Using Keiki paste on Oncidiums?

What I did is take a new, sharp single-edge razor blade and barely scraped the outside of the dormant eye, just enough to scrape down to living cells. I applied a very small amount of keiki paste to the scraped area.

I let it be for a few days, then watered normally. The next summer, I was ready to divide the back bulbs from the rest of the plant. The old back-bulb section had maybe 10 or 12 bulbs in a clump. I cut that section off, placed it bare-root in an empty terracotta pot. Within a month, I had 3 new leads sprouting from that old clump of back bulbs. Later, when the sprouts developed roots, I divided the clump into 3 plants. All 3 plants bloomed that fall, all 3 are still alive and I am getting ready to send them to their new owners.

Could you post a picture of them before you do? I'm just curious.
