My 2nd Neo

[Phyrex]

Just showing off my wonderfully smelling second neo. It's roots are just amazing. Lovely purple ends to each extremity of the flower (except for the spur which is green). I'm not entirely sure what it is as it came without a tag. It might be Neofinetia falcata 'Shunkyuuden'. Anyone to confirm or deny this?

 

[SlipperFan]

There are blue Neos?

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

Definitely a hybrid, possibly Neostylis Lou Sneary

IMHO, it doesn't look like a straight neo to me.. The flower shape is definitely different... Nice buy, whatever its identity is..

 

[Candace]

Ditto the hybrid status.

 

[Jorch]

Definitely a Neostylis Lou Sneary. Great purchase, by the way, they do smell amazing

I just bought a pink one, and my blue one is ready to open with 2 spikes

I agree that it is clearly not pure Neofinetia, but I would suggest Darwinara Charm as another possible hybrid. Neostylis Lou Sneary is more likely to have caused a mixed up tag though...

 

[Phyrex]

Neostylis Lou Sneary it is. I don't have a tag for it and with my limited knowledge I just assumed it was a Neo falcata.

I hope you didn't pay a lot for it for being a "blue neo" That wouldn't be good. It's nice though and from what I've heard they bloom more than once a year, unlike the neos

My guess would be Neostylis Lou Sneery - BUT another widely propagated one was Vandofinetia Blaupunkt (Vanda coerulescens x Neofinetia falcata) - registered in 1986. It was one of the first mass produced Neo hybrids, they started blooming fairly compact, but do get fairly large. Very similar flowers too.
