Oncidium Twinkle care colab

[Shadeflower]

There's about 6 more videos SP.. I didn't link them all. IF you click on any of them, then on the #carecollab in the title it sends you to the other videos.

The reason this caught my attention. I noticed some people have tried to do care colabs in the past but clearly many people have the twinkle.

It is an adorable orchid that has a firm place in my collection by now

Claw, glad you have one too and no surprise to hear yours are doing well. I hope we can see the flowers.

Mine are not ready yet either but I'll post a pic when the flowers are open.

I was really hoping they would open by x-mas but it is cutting it very close now. We are soo close to opening here.

I will post when it flowers if I remember but the biggest downside to Twinkle imo is the torturous wait for the spikes to bloom. Takes forever compared to most other orchids

Thanks for mentioning that Shade! Will look at those ones too. I really like twinkles as well. The 'Fragrance Fantasy' one really does get a unmistakeable vanilla smell'. I first read people describing it. And after taking a whiff ...... I know what they mean! Thanks again Shade! Much appreciated.

Hahaha! True! It takes ages. Months maybe. My trick now is to treat a spiked twinkle like an ordinary non-flowering orchid. And pay no attention to it ..... except for regular care haha.

Good hack! 400 other twinkles would certainly up the chances tremendously ------ of seeing a twinkle flower with less waiting hehe

I have 3 different varieties and one of the parents (onc. ornithorhynchum) and all are in spike right now.

So far the thrips have left them all alone, so another nice aspect to this plant.
