oncidium Twinkle "Red Fantasy" and Oncidium Gold Dust
Here are my newest purchases, Oncidium Twinkle "Red Fantasy" and Oncidium Gold Dust, all the way from Hawaii! Gold Dust (on the right) appears to be further along in spiking. I'm wondering when they'll come into bloom. Anyone else own these same hybrids? When do they bloom for you? I've read that Red Fantasy tends to bloom in January, but I don't know about Gold Dust.

Nice! The Onc. Twinkle's seem to do very well up here in Dayton, the are floriferous and usually have a strong scent of vanilla. Don't know much about the Gold Dust. By the way, its cool to have somebody else from Dayton on here, especially one with my birth year! ;-)

Hi Laura,
Those are some really great orchids you have there! How often have they been blooming for you? Are they both fragrant I have the Sharry baby and it's pretty amazing!
Does the twinkle stay a pretty small size? I read that it is supposed to be a miniature Oncidium.
Great Buys,
Tommy

Yes, they are both fragrant. These last bloomed around December, and right now I have one spike growing on the Onc. Twinkle.
They are definitely smaller than Sharry Baby. I would say the Twinkle is about 7-8 inches tall, and the Gold Dust maybe 12" tall.

O.K. They sound perfect. I might have to buy them along with some others. Haha. I have read that the Oncidium twinkle smells a bit like coconuts when in bloom? Has this been true for you?

I would describe it as a sweet vanilla scent. They tend to only have a scent in the morning, it sort of goes away through the day. I think this is true for a lot of Oncidiums, and probably other orchids as well.
