Looks like an ascofinetia twinkle to me!

A a reverse twinkle!!! LOL Which is very well may be. Either way it is BEAUTIFUL.

Hey Joy-- how're your chids doing? If ever you want to know if I have any more orchids to gift away, let me know... I always have something (although these days they just die on me instead!).

it does, doesn't it?

... I think that's what I came up with as well a few years ago when I searched some info about this cross. well, maybe time to label it then

ps: I don't know why, but everytime I see it's lovely yellow/orange colour it lightens up my mood... similar to a friend of mine who goes coocooc from sunflowers (sunflower yellow)

.... might be giving us a summer feeling.

greetz,
Dries

Am I suppose to rest a hybrid? I don't know what the other parent is. Its a NoID from SE if that gives a clue to how to winter it.

You can but I find the plants stay vital without rest. To get mine to bloom, I make a dramatic change in conditions. For instance, taking the plant out in the spring for the summer causes it to spike and so does bringing it indoors in the fall.

I did nothing special at all to get my Vascostylis Fuchs Cream Puff to spike and bloom. It just sat there in a south facing-living room window. No humidity tray, no fan.

The same year round?

Yes, same year round. Received it as a gift from the hybridizer at the 2012 IPA Symposium in bloom (August) and it bloomed for me this past September.
