This little onc is all bloomed up at the moment. My daughter really likes this one because the flowers are tiny and mostly pink and purple. It has a great scent - like cupcake batter. My 3 year old son said it smells like "cake pie"! Now I have to figure out how to bake a cakepie?!



It really is a great little chid. So easy.

Nice Onc. Tsiku Marguerite you've got ! I had one and I liked it better than the Twinkles because it grew better for me and the blooms are bigger than the twinkles ! Great fragrance, as you know !

Reminds me a lot of Twinkle ... I assume it has some of the same parentage?

Yup, that's right. It's Onc. ornithorhyncum x Onc. Twinkle 'Red'. Grows the same way as twinkle. Stronger scent.

Thanks! It took me a while to figure out the watering for this one. It likes to be downright soggy. If kept appropriately soggy it grows like a weed.

Really! I'll have to remember that as I have Onc. ornithorynchum var. 'Lilac Soap' I have to be careful in the cool greenhouse but come summer...

Your right, I never let mine dry out either, it's happier that way. I didn't cut the spent bloom spike off mine and it's kept reblooming from the same spike from spring until a few weeks ago, a good 8/9 months. Although after its display in spring it was one flower at a time for the last 6/7 months....the spike never dried up so I never cut it off, I see it's dry now thou.

Default Potting medium...

What medium is yours planted in?
I have one yellow variety of this and it does grow like a weed. It's time for me to repot mine as it is shooting up new growths like crazy and there's no room left.

Mine is in moss. I am thinking of the same material as a new potting mix but was curious what you use on yours.

Thanks in advance.

RHS lists the parents as Twinkle X sotoanum. And Twinkle as cheirophorum X sotoanum. So it's actually 3/4ths sotoanum.

A Case of Mistaken Identity: From a recent AOS Orchid online posting.
"While it’s true that what we grow with the name Oncidium ornithorhynchum is from Mexico and Central America, pink and, to most people, wonderfully fragrant – it isn’t Oncidium ornithorhynchum.
Jimenez and Hagsater, working in Central American orchidaceae have determined that the taxon described as Oncidium ornithorhynchum is actually a South American species distributed from Ecuador, Colombia and Peru, and synonymous with Oncidium pyramidale Lindl.; a typically yellow and brown - flowered species.
The pink-flowered species we all grow is formally undescribed. In Lankesteriana 9(3) (January 2010), they formally describe this species from Mexico and Central America as Oncidium sotoanum R. Jimenez & Hagsater and an additional subspecies Oncidium sotoanum ssp. papalosmum R. Jimenez, known only from the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, is described.
The specific epithet (pronounced soe-toe-ANN-uhm) honors the recently deceased Miguel Angel Soto Arenas, respected around the world for his work in orchids of Mexico."
