Comments: Oncidium Twinkle is a cross between Oncidium cheirophorum and Oncidium ornithorhynchum credited to William Whitmore Goodale Moir in 1958.
Although the parents are pure yellow and pink respectively, Oncidium x 'Twinkle' has been bred in colours from pure white to red like this cultivar.
Like the other Oncidium x 'Twinkle' cultivars, Red Fantaxy has abundant flower and a sweet vanilla-like fragrance.
