it has yellow tiny flowers all over. and the one that smells like vanilla, or i think it does. it's a light burgandy color.

The tiny yellow flowers sounds like something from the Onc. alliance. Not sure about the other one.

WELCOME WELCOME!!!

I'm with Kiki...BUDGET??? that word goes along with "enough"...NOT HAPPENING!

If you came here to get help with control FORGET IT! I learned early that these folks on ENCOURAGE you to buy more cids...

Although I can tell you that along with the encouragement to buy

these wonderful people will do EVERYTHING they can to help you take care of your new "children". You landed in the right (and IMO the ONLY) place.

Sometimes our "ickle" friends can be overwhelming - too much water, not enough water, too much light, not enough light, humidity, warmth, cool evenings and warm days - hot/hot growers and so on...whatever your problem, joy or frustration is - POST IT...we all learn from each others questions, problems and triumphs!!

BTW - as we are all addicted to cids, we LOVE pictures too...if you have 'em - share 'em!

well, seeing that i am on disability and can't work, i have to limit my creeping obsession slowly.

can anyone help me identify the one that i am dying to have: small yellow blooms. usually a lot of them. the lady at the nursery says she gets them from time to time but doesn't know thew name of them.

can anyone help me out with a name, at least?

Oncidium Twinkle? Ok.. they aren't really yellow flowers... but they smell very similar to vanilla

CoolPhrog · #17 02-10-2008, 09:52 PM

sounds like on oncidium alliance. Is is fragrant?

jenmcd03 · #18 02-10-2008, 10:01 PM

not sure if it is fragrant or not (the yellow one).

would love to have one that smells like vanilla too, is that the Oncidium Twinkle?

Have you tried to go to an oncidium site and look at the many varieties? I think that is what you are talking about, but there are so many. You could pinpoint it that way. Pictures speak volumes. kiki

yes, onc. twinkle is very fragrant.
