Ascf. Twinkle (Neof. falcata x Asctm. miniatum)
Has anyone ever seen this hybrid?
I was searching for something else and found this little colorful cutie!
My enabling urges came over me and well .. take a look at it - maybe you'll fall in with it

Unfortunately, my orchid-fun monies are down this year .. I am enjoying the orchids that I have .. so I live vicariously through the orchid-purchasing of others
Hence, the enabling

Oooh, yes. . .this is a GREAT little orchid!
Here's a link to a pic
But if anyone orders it get it from Fantasy Orchids $15. . .the orange is really good. I've heard some comments about the Hausermann Tinkle blooming out a bit pale!
When I was there recently, they had quite a few and one of them was in spike! Just so you know. lol

Dorothy
I bought one from Housermann's and when it bloomed it was gorgous. The color was not as deep as the picture but this is the first blooming. Even if it doesn't darken the next time, I am very happy with it.
Another one which I have, but it hasn't bloomed, is Asco. 'Lionstar'. It should be a deeper color, almost orange. I love the Neo hybrids.

Save your money, Ramon - I haven't ordered an orchid since last year .. I have learned the art of self control through strict budgeting (but I am hoping to order again next year )

Thanks for the heads up, Gwen
So you do have this one and it's picture perfect
I should have looked for it before posting - but there are so many threads and so little time
Ah Marilyn
I found a photo of Lion Star - Very nice, indeed!
