Neofinetia Kouyou

[Berthold]

I am still working on a little hut on top of the moss as painted on the pot.
The spur of the flower will have the size of the total arrangement, I fear.

Pretty.

I am getting rid of my orchid collection but I am also thinking about keeping a few Neof. Your photo has just ensured that decision. Nicely done!

 

[Lanmark]

Nice plant. Nice pot. Nice moss. Overall a great presentation!

 

[Migrant13]

Everything about your plant is fabulous!! Way to grow!

The plant and presentation is perfection. Blooms are just
an added bonus...well, and the fragrance of course.

Neofinetia Ikebana

 

[Lanmark]

Now I'm confused. Isn't that the exact same plant as in the previous photo? The roots, the leaves, the pot and the moss are all the same. The only difference is the flower.

Yes, I'm sure it is the same plant. Ikebana refers to Japanese style flower arrangements, not meant to be a name. I presume that is the source of your confusion?

Isn't Kouyou (means "red sun") supposed to have red (deep pink) flowers, which is a hybrid? Maybe this is what Lanmark is wondering?

 

[Berthold]

Yes, Kouyou is a red purple clone.
I am not an Ikebana artist but I arranged the pot with a normal Neofinetia falcata flower to demonstrate the interesting disproportion of flower and plant.

Sorry for confusion

Nice presentation!
I always say to myself that I will get some nice pot, but I like seeing roots in clear plastic pot. lol

I love those moss! Is it natural or did you sow something special??

It is moss from the garden living on an oak tree.

That's funny, Heather. So did I!

Heather, You are right. That's not the desired effect.

Please delete the old link in the post and set the new link I gave you between the special img-character set.

Please do the same in my post 8 with the second link I gave You.

The old existing links in the posts have to be replaced by the new links I gave You.

Second try please. I am sure You will manage it :wink:
