Ascofinetia Twinkle

[neo-guy]

Here is the very cute primary hybrid of Neofinetia falcata x Ascocentrum miniatum. This one is variety 'Shocking Orange', although it only appears to be a light orange color.

very nice shape and good color; what size are the flowers?? Jean

 

[neo-guy]

They are quite small...about 1" across.

Oh, I like that color! Very sunny and cheerful.

Very nice colour! Very clear, bright and definitely cheerful!

I love it. It would sure brighten up a gloomy day.

Pretty, but I would have called it "deep yellow". I've got one in spike now and I'm sure looking forward to the blooms!

 

[Elena]

That's really nice, I too like the colour!

 

[NYEric]

Nice, wish I could grow them. Fragrant too?

 

[SlipperFan]

Very cute. I'd like one of these!

 

[Heather]

I'm also curious about the fragrance. Another nice one, Peter - how many do you have of these Neo crosses and species, anyway?

 

[Greenpaph]

Real nice, Peter!

:clap::clap:

 

[neo-guy]

Eric, only slightly fragrant. The ascocentrum parent has no fragrance, so the Neo fragrance is reduced.

Heather, i have quite a few Neo varieties, I try and buy a couple new ones at the different shows!
The crosses are fewer and hard to find. When I do find them I buy them! I bought a Ascof. Peaches this year off Ebay.
