I think it is. You will have to put up a picture when it does.

Thanks, I hope you do. I can't imagine that you won't, I'm not kidding when I say this plant has taken some abuse from me. I thought the poor thing wanted to be dry before watering again. It always had wrinkled leaves and yet I just kept going duh, I wonder why

Actually it starts out kind of pink with cream then lightens to cream.

Sorry, No it just says Oncidium 'Twinkle' the blooms are about 3/4 of an inch and 1/2 inch wide.

So pretty! You're obviously doing something right to get so many blooms and spikes. I almost bought one of these off ebay that had five spikes, same color. Only reason I didn't is because I'm saving space for Orchid Shows!

WOW, 1/2" wide is HUGE! Hold onto that one! Maybe once it becomes a specimen in a couple of years we can trade divisions...regardless, it's beautiful.

I hope you find one at the shows. I would like to have more colors of it. Funny thing and I do hate admitting this but when I first got it I didn't much care for it. I mean when it bloomed the blooms would fall off very soon and so I didn't see what the big deal was. Well I was letting the poor thing dry out way to much it was not happy. Now they do last a lot longer, not as long as some but I have come to love these little flowers.

Really, and hear I thought it was small I will defiantly have to get another color and see if they are smaller. I suppose it could be miss marked. It was given to me by a friend that is a florist. After it was done blooming he didn't want it any more. But I know he got it from a supplier in Denver.

And if I do divide it we can maybe do just that. I hope it will keep doing well for me.
