I have been in search of an Onc. Twinkle to replace one I killed a few years back (oops). I thought it was a relatively easy-to-find plant, but there haven't been any at shows I've been to recently, and the only one I've found online has been on ebay, with $15 shipping.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could look for one, maybe some other nurseries?

Sorry I'm unable to help you find one, but I've also been looking for one and find they are apparently hard to come by now. Like you, I used to see them all the time at shows, but not so much this year, and most of the online vendors say they're out of stock.

Thanks, Mountaineer! I'm sorry to hear you've been having the same problem, but I'm glad to hear it's not just me.

Thanks for the suggestions! I thought Hausermann's only had the Tsiku Marguerite, but I'll look again.

Call them. Or email Lynne. I swear I saw one...but maybe it was Tsiku Marguerite.

A lot of vendors buy small mericlone plugs, then grow them on. They tend to restock in spring when shipping from the wholesaler is less risky. Make sure you wait until it's warm enough to ship.

I've been looking for Twinkles as well. I have been becoming increasingly frustrated. Good luck!

Sophie's has twinkle 'Fantasy.' The plants are small and expensive. My order from her last year arrived in good shape though.

Olympic Orchids is out of stock now, but it's still on the Web site. I bet they get them back in stock. Ellen had two different clones.
