Super Miniature - Phal Sogo Twinkle
Default Super Miniature - Phal Sogo Twinkle

I purchased this super miniature phalaenopsis orchid a couple weeks ago at the New Hampshire Orchid Society - Symphony of Orchids Show & Sale. It is called Sogo Twinkle and it is from Taiwan. The orchid is in a 4" pot and the leaves are just 4 inches above the pot. Including the flower spikes, it only measures 8 inches tall. Each 1.25" flower is a deep raspberry purple. It is amazing that the plant has 5 flower spikes each with 10 or more flower buds (yes, 50+ flowers). The grower indicated that it should continue to bloom for the next four months and that it will send up more flower spikes during the summer. Good things truely come in small packages.

Wow, that is sooo pretty! It looks so healthy too! You did a great job picking that one out. And now you'll be able to enjoy the gorgeous blooms for months and months. Aren't mini's great?

Very nice! Reminds me of my Zuma Pixie 'Kultana'. Hopefully, once my lil un reaches the size of yours it will give me as nice of a show!

Yep Tindo .. here ya go -
Phal Sogo Twinkle = Phal Be Tris x Phal Sogo Tris
Phal Be Tris = Phal Be Glad x Phal equestris
I found out that Phal Sogo Tris 'Sweetheart' = Be Tris x Rudolh
Phal Be Glad = Phal Swiss Miss x Phal Cassandra
P. Swiss Miss = P. Mildred Karleen x P. equestris
Phal. Mildred Karleen = Phal. Judy Karleen x Phal. Sharon Karleen
The hybrid between Phal. equestris and Phal. stuartiana was registered as Phal. Cassandra

It's even confusing for me to follow

Here is a whole page on Phal Cassandra - Cassandra
Check out the breeding section (scroll down) about it's whole history - Development of Phalaenopsis Orchids for the Mass-Market
Quite fascinating
Let me include a site of old phal hybrids and their parentage - Growing Phalaenopsis Ever-Spring King in Big Bend, Wisconsin

Wholly molly!! Thats a lot of work, and lots of generations to get the final out come. Very nice! Thanks Dorothy.
Now who sired P. Mildred Karleen?
