Oncidium Twinkle 'Fragrant Fantasy' in bloom
Got this last year in bloom and what a joy it's been to grow. Transplanted earlier this year and over packed the sphagnum. It sulked and the pseudobulbs wrinked a bit until I was draining it upside down over the sink one morning and the whole plant unmounted. I lost some of the moss and it's been thriving ever since the root zone got more air.

Yes it is very fragrant. It's not my favorite, but not bad either. I would say it's soapy smelling for lack of a better adjective.

I agree, very pretty! I really love the Twinkles. They take up so much less space than the larger oncidiums and really put on a nice display.

I received my twinkle two days ago. A tiny little "Pink Profusion" with 2 healthy spikes. I can't wait till it puts on some more growth and becomes thicker & looks like yours. On this one I am not going to re-pot till those flowers finish blooming.
I am wondering if anyone knows if Twinkles get any larger? I assume I have a very young pant, but it is blooming. The largest psuedobulb is about 1 inch the others are much smaller.
