Wow, that's beautiful, any fragrance? I love the color. That's definitely will be on my wishlist. Do you mind telling us where you got it?

Sorry Marissa but I can't help you find one. It was given to me by a friend. I will ask when I see him but I do see so often. Yes, it has a slight fragrance but not as strong as other Neos.....however, it is the first blooming for me.

Beautiful color on this one, Don! Thanks for showing us

What kind of medium do you have it growing in? My one neo hybrid hates me.

Nothing! Just a little black plastic basket. After blooming tho I think I will move to a pot like my other neos.

I like it, especially the color. It looks so delicate. I seem to do so much better with the Neo crosses than straight Neo's.

This is Ascfinetia Twinkle. Registered by Rev. M.Yamada in 1960. There are a few cultural awards, the highest being a 90 point CCM (CCE) from 1984 to 'Orchidglade'. The plant had more than 2,000 flowers. Description Two thousand two hundred sixty-two flowers on 121 inflorescences; flowers bright orange; plant grown in a 12-inch basekt in excellent condition; better bloomed than previous award.

Awhile ago, mericlones of 'Orchidglade' or 'Orange Blossom' were widely available but I haven't seen them around lately.

Don, you've got yourself 'a keeper'. I'm sure that you will grow it well.

Thanks "cneos" for the information, very interesting indeed. I love when you have a little history of the plant being grown. You are well versed on the vandaeous family, where do you get your info from? I don't have Orchidwiz tho I always thought I would like to. Always appreciate your input.
