Super Miniature - Phal Sogo Twinkle

[mjsdas]

I purchased this super miniature phalaenopsis orchid a couple weeks ago at the New Hampshire Orchid Society - Symphony of Orchids Show & Sale. It is called Sogo Twinkle and it is from Taiwan. The orchid is in a 4" pot and the leaves are just 4 inches above the pot. Including the flower spikes, it only measures 8 inches tall. Each 1.25" flower is a deep raspberry purple. It is amazing that the plant has 5 flower spikes each with 10 or more flower buds (yes, 50+ flowers). The grower indicated that it should continue to bloom for the next four months and that it will send up more flower spikes during the summer. Good things truely come in small packages.
