Ascf. Twinkle, In Full Bloom, Gwen Diaz
This is in full bloom today, twelve orangey-pink flowers with a golden overlay!
It has a soft floral fragrance with a tart note that reminds me of Tang. . .really smells good
Neofinetia falcata x Asctm. miniatum
And of course it's in an Erin Pottery pot!
Enjoy!

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

It was really hard to wait. . .not my best quality!
So I didn't.
I took a photo earlier, just in case, something went southerly. . .bud blast or one or both of my cats ate the flowers. . .you know, the sorts of bad things that can happen while you're waiting.
But once you've got THAT photo. . .nothing much goes wrong and you're OKay to take the pic when it's in full bloom.

Boy, me TOOO!
You really do need this particular hybrid. . .it's really wonderful. The colors are gorgeous and it has fragrance and it stays quite compact.
The pot is only about 3-1/2 wide by 2-1/4 tall! |

Thanks, Caseydoll & Lagoon!
Keep an eye out for this hybrid and snatch it up if you see it!
Edited to add: I know they have them at Fantasy Orchids. . .one I saw was in spike.
