Im looking for a yellow version of Onc. Twinkle actually. Also trying to add a small paph that is in bud that has mottled leaves not really too specific on that one.

I can certainly email Steve and see if he has a yellow twinkle! i dont know if he does or not, but im sure he has something similar! ill let you know when i find out!

and we definitely have a paph that would suit to you then! ( i repotted over 120 one day )

Seems like a wonderful selection. If the sale was close, I'd probably go to look for lycaste aromatica and oncidium ornithorhynchum with that selection (and try not to add yet another aerangis or angraecum to the collection) but you are a wee bit out of the way. Good luck on the sale and have fun!

Well I can tell you for sure that we have those two!! Soon we will be on ebay (ill be managing it) though! So maybe you can get it there! Or if you wanted I can see if I can setup a mail order....

I figured you would have them. With Ohio weather so unpredictable, I will wait until spring to have any plants shipped. Thanks for the offer, though!
Bball, you might like oncidium cheiroporum. It is small with wonderful sprays of fragrant, yellow blossoms. The downside is it seems to only bloom in the fall/winter, instead of twice a year, like most twinkles. I have it blooming now.

Wish I could go to your sale. The photos you have of the show were just fantastic! Hope it goes well!

[Leafmite]

Yes, looks like a great sale! Hope you have a great turn out!
