Oncidium Twinkle 'Snow'
Default Oncidium Twinkle 'Snow'
Hello,

I recently purchased an Oncidium Twinkle 'Snow' that has a few spikes. A few flowers just opened, but for some reason none of them is fragrant. I can't detect any smell at all.

Please excuse me for a newbie's question, but I thought I saw it somewhere that Oncidium Twinkle 'Snow' was supposed to be fragrant. Is there anything I could do to encourage the fragrance?

A few pictures of this orchid are included below. Thanks.

It is, but sometimes blooms have to grow into it. Give it a few more days and a few more open blooms and itll have a scent for you soon.

I agree with Pilot. I have a similar one with just a couple open and they don't smell. But I know from last year this will have loads of scent at some point in time!

I agree with the above - can take a few days for the fragrance to kick in - and being quite small blooms, will definitely be stronger when there are quite a few blooms open - also, I believe these will be more fragrant early in the day, with the scent diminishing later in the day

Also, it could be the time of day you're smelling it. Mine only really is fragrant in the morning.
