Oncidum Twinkle and Twinkle ‘Red Fantasy’

Oncidum Twinkle and Twinkle ‘Red Fantasy’
I purchased both these plants from my local grower, but to tell the truth I think they got them from Hawaii. I have had them both for a year and this is the second time each has bloomed. The ‘Red Fantasy’ plant is not putting on nearly the show the standard Twinkle is. They are grown under the same conditions, the only difference being I have not repotted the ‘Red Fantasy’ yet, and it was a smaller plant to begin with. I grow both these plants with my cattleya seedlings  at about 2500 foot candles. They seem to be happy there. They are a nice addition to the holiday season.
