After purchasing from ebay more than 6 months ago, my small Oncidium Twinkle 'Fragrant Fantasy' has finally flowered.
When I first purchased it, it had no flower spike, and then it just developed a spike very soon after it arrived.
This plant has been growing nicely in scoria rock -- local variety is called quincan gravel (pronounced kwing-kun gravel). Scoria seems to work quite well here in North Queensland. This plant was originally growing in some kind of bark/perlite mix when it first arrived in the mail. I usually repot all plants that come in by mail.
At first, the early flowers didn't have much scent. But now, it has quite a nice subtle vanilla smell. I wasn't expecting a nice smell - but no problem at all on the nose!
The tag says 'Fragrance Fantasy', but I currently believe the correct name is supposed to be 'FragranT Fantasy'.
