Onc Ornithorhynchum now in flower

[Otis226]

Lovely plant and blooms. Good growing, indeed. I've been wanting an Onc. 'twinkle' and hopefully will find one soon.
Best,
Tony

Tony, I found Onc Twinkle and Onc Rosy Sunset at Trader Joe's last year. The second seems like amore vigorous bloomer and grower for me. I found a small Onc ornithorynchum at Oak Hill Gardens and after a few monts now it has 2 spikes. I think it may be a 1st time flowering. was not too expensive. I think the Onc ornithorynchum flowers I have seen look more interesting than the Onc. Twinkle. I do not know about the fragrance of the first though.


Jennyfleur yours looks really great, not a single spot and a lot of blooms!

Considering that the flowering p/bulb is only about an inch and a half big, I'm happy with the ammount of flowers. It's this little one's first flowering as well, which is nice, as I bought it as a baby

This was one of my very first orchids. I MUST get it again, it's really lovely!
