Neofinetia falcata Manjyushage

[Erythrone]

Bought in 2013. First blooming. I am impressed by the number of flowers on a single fan!

As others have said, you have a lovely Manjushage 曼珠沙華 ! How does the rest of the plant appear? Are you growing it the traditional way? Thank you for posting.

Matt, it is a single fan. Not very showy by now. It is on grow in sphagnum moss, plastic net pot. I try to repot almost all my Neofs the "tradtionnal" way, but I must admit the results are far from perfect. I am unable to shape a perfect "ball". But it does not really matter to me since the plants are growing well anyway.

All my Neofs are grown under lights from september to May. Some were grown outdoor last summer. Amongs them was this plant. Our summer are cool here so I can give them a lots of sun. I fertilize with every watering (near 10 ppm N)

[Lanmark]

Nice! I rather like this variety.

 

[Erythrone]

Lanmark, Manjyushage is the variety on your avatar, isn't it?

 

[eggshells]

Wow I like that.

 

[cnycharles]

Nice. Is that two or three spurs?

 

[Erythrone]

Three

 

[Migrant13]

That one is excellent.

 

[couscous74]

Very nice. And Abax's metaphor is very appropriate.

 

[gnathaniel]

Beautiful variant of the species!

One of my favorite Neof as well. Good flower count for such a young plant. I don't think mine had nearly that many flowers when it bloomed the first time.
