Onc. Twinkle soon to bloom!

[greenbean]

My recuperating Onc. Twinkle has a spike! I think it's Red Fantasy, but the tag only says "Oncidium Twinkle".

Oddly enough, this was one of my first non-rescue orchids, and I nearly killed it. It was very underpotted and I let it get too dry. I didn't realize how much water a large Twinkle needs. I think it has nearly 2 dozen pbulbs, most of them are severely dwarfed, due to massive root loss from underwatering. I finally got the hang of it though, and it's got lots of new roots and a single little spike! Hey, it's a start!



Ok, so maybe I should have waited until it started blooming, or at least got closer to blooming, but I'm just too excited to wait!!

I'll post updates on this thread up through its blooming.
