Thank you streetmorrisart!

Dot, you seem to grow nice variegated forms that are also reliable bloomer. Can you tell me the names of those plants?

Sweet!

Not sure of the spelling or capitalization. Tags are hard to read.

This post reminded me to check on my own Neo's. 3 of my 4 are spiking now! 2 are variegated, the green leafed ones have pink blooms....

 

[Erythrone]

thank you Dot.
Higashi de Miyako is now on my wish list

Bump

Look what my Kouyou is developing! Does anyone know how long it takes for Neos' capsules to ripen? I selfed it about June 21st.

 

[TyroneGenade]

Cool!

No idea how long the pod takes to develop but I found this thread (http://www.orchidboard.com/communit...eofinetia-seed-pods-ripening-winter-rest.html ) which implies a 4 month developmental time.

Looking at the photos of the blooming Neos I feel very sad about having to give my Neos up back in South Africa. :sob:

 

[SlipperFan]

Thanks, Tyrone. Looks like it needs a couple more months.

Good luck with the capsule Dot as that is a beautiful color. Thanks for the cultural tip and what is the substrate you are growing in? Is that coconut fiber throughout or just on top?

 

[Jaljala]

It took 3 months for mine from pollinating the flower to the capsule fully ripened. Good luck with this one, it is very nice!
Are you going to send the capsule to a lab or DIY?

 

[Leo Schordje]

If you don't have a lab, Rockbridge Labs in Ohio is good, she works with dry seed as a preference. PM me for details.

It's coconut fiber throughout.

I wouldn't begin to know how to do it myself, so I'll be sending it out.

Thanks, Leo. Will do.

What about Troy Conservatory?

 

[wjs2nd]

I know Troy does a lot of Neos, but I don't know his success rate.

All you Neos look great! Mine have already bloomed.

 

[Susie11]

You have a way with Neo's!

Yes, here it is, a nice healthy plant

Love that first one, k...something. I'm calling it cujo for now. I would definitely welcome that one in my flat. :smitten:
