Flowering now in mid to late summer. 4 bulbs, 2 backbulbs, 4 new leads and 2 spikes. I'm not dividing this one anymore other than to take the odd backbulb, turning it into a specimen plant hoping for some big shows in the future.
They are quite unusual I think. Mostly i like them because unlike most of the common oncids which are 'autumn' colours these are lovely pastel purple. I'd actually love to hybridise this down into a twinkle type form!
The plant has been neglected and those flower stems are a little smaller than last year. Usually sitting on my kitchen bench the flowers touch the ceiling to give you an idea. (and last year it was in a standard 6 inch plastic pot so the pot was smaller too)
