Neo. Yodonomatsu - from LI Jane

[Marco]

Yodonomatsu from LI Jane. I got this one as a 3-4 leaf one fan runt. Funny it’s the only one that survived out of the all that she gave me.

I miss helping her out with moving around her orchids when the seasons changed.

are these 'stumpy' neos polyploid?

Looks like a bean leaf or a bean leaf Fukiran hybrid. The flowers are a bonus. Fukiran are judged for foliage.

^ it’s just a bulky bean leaf

It’s a lovely reminder of Jane. We’ve lost some good ones over the years here…I miss Eric M. also….

Eric M. Was great too. I never met him but he was funny. I remember he mentioned that when his kids were babies he would sing them “inappropriate” lullabies. Funny guy

Jane was great too and i remember you were the one that put me in touch with her. I didn’t have the wherewithal to buy too many neos then and always managed to walk away with a few divisions after every visit. Also, by observing her greenhouse I was able to work these small seedling domes to what the neos need. It was much easier to observe because she had a smaller greenhouse and I was able to ask her questions on how it operated. It boiled down to a few things. Water, temperature, wind, and tight dry cycles. now figuring that out for my conditions was the trick
