D'oh! Trying to find a name of a tiny Twinkle relative
 
I'm kicking myself right now! I'm trying to find the name of an Oncidium that I passed up in Trader Joe's. It looked like Oncidium Twinkle or maybe Tsiku Marguerite. The only difference was that it had HUNDREDS of itty bitty flowers on relatively short spikes. The plastic packaging was bulging. The flowers were maybe half the size of Twinkle, and it smelled spicy or sweet. When I came to my senses and went back, it was gone :(

Does anyone have any idea what it could've been?

Talk to the TJ manager and ask where they get their orchids. Then contact that supplier. Maybe the TJ manager can order you another one.

The small side of the family for both Twinkle and Tsiku Marguerite is Oncidium cheirophorum. Does it look like that? Or smaller?

I'll have to try that. Hopefully it wasn't a one-off specimen.

It looked pretty much exactly like Onc. Tsiku Marguerite or a white clone of Twinkle. I didn't study the plant closely, but from what I remember the flowers looked identical, just very very small. The inflorescence was heavily branched, and short compared to either Tsiku Marguerite or Twinkle.
