Wow. That was a great save. Well done.

early ------ my pot size was just arbitrarily chosen when I potted it. I measured it a moment ago --- it's approximately 11.3 cm diameter at the top of the pot, and 10 cm diameter at the bottom of the pot, and the height of the pot is 12 cm.

The scoria pieces are relatively large size ones, ranging from 10 mm to 15 mm average diameter.

Twinkle is a cross between two Oncidium species. My Twinkle cultivar is 'Fragrance Fantasy'. Your Twinkle could be a different cultivar. So if the appearance isn't quite the same in flowers, and maybe even plant features - then that's quite ok. As long as the tag says Twinkle, then it will be one of the countless numerous results that can occur from the cross between parents of species Oncidium cheirophorum and Oncidium sotoanum.

Second bloom since the division...a little bigger than last year.

Very nice. I haven't done well by mine. I'm starting over.

Not quite sure. They got big really fast, bloomed like crazy and then declined. I tossed them because the foliage became so crappy.
