# Friends my Oncidium twinkle is partially blooming and I’m not sure…

_Posted by Amy on 2026-09-25_

Friends my Oncidium twinkle is partially blooming and I’m not sure why this is happening. Last year all the bloom spikes bloomed at the same time but this year some of the spikes are blooming and some are still developing. Has this happened to anyone else?

Is that a terrible thing? Orchids gonna orchid. You have blooms! Take the win.

I happens to me frequently. Not sure why but I enjoy the wave of blooms. Makes the show last longer 😁

Thank you. I was just wondering if that was normal or not
