Now, that's a good plan. I have three and each has bloomed at a different time. So they have been in bloom or bud for months. Very rewarding. And that is a beautiful plant you have there!

I have one red but it gave me only three spikes. Last blooming, right after I got it, it spiked only one so I must be going in the right direction.

Do your Twinkle get any sun? The leaves are pale green and this might be the trick for so many spikes.
This was grown outside in coastal Southern California, under maybe 70% shade. There's a gap in the shade cloth so it gets direct morning sun for a couple of hours. I brought it inside last week to protect it from critters. I was quite surprised at the inflorescence count, and the buds are coming along and showing some red color.
Are the 3 colors that you mentioned clonal names or just marketing names? I show the hybridizer as W.W.G. Moir (hero of mine), registered in 1958, so it's been around for a while. Has it received any awards?

Since 2002 up to 2016 it received 38 awards all over the world.
The 3 colors are clonal names.

I have an Oncidium Tsiku Marguerite 'HOF #1', which is a child of Twinkle. Tsiku Marguerite is a great plant, too. Very fragrant, and a cloud of flowers.

I have Tsiku Marguerite #2, it has been blooming for months. Seems as soon as flowers fade and drop, there is another spike showing up. The flowers are very sweet and small. This is one of my few large size orchids.

I have another Oncidium that is much smaller, cheirophorum. This little one has cheery bright yellow flowers that smell like Ivory soap. This plant is blooming for a fourth time this year, tiny buds are a day or two from opening.

As cold as it has been it is awesome to have beautiful blooms to brighten up your day.
