Default Miniature Onc. question

Hello

I recently purchased a small Oncidium (no labels on the plants over here,
well if one is lucky the genus might be mentioned) which I think might be
Onc. Twinkle 'Red Fantasy'.

What perplexes me though is the size of my plant, it's
quite tiny with a few 1-3cm pseudobulbs, 5-10cm leaves and maybe 4-5, 10 cm long flower
stems with around 20 very small buds each. A few buds have opened and the flower is maybe
1cm across with pink and deep raspberry colors

Is that anywhere near what a Twinkle might look like? If so, how come my plant is that tiny
when all the pictures I've seen show them to be quite a bit bigger. I'm not complaining though,
it's really a lovely little plant.

Sorry for the poor formatting, my news-reader is acting up.

Regards
