Just got 6 growth hanakanzashi today. Not the best condition. However, for the price and a little TLC can't go wrong. Also got the Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' x Neofinetia falcata. Hoping this is similar to the purplish bluish neo hybrid Tom V. posted a couple of years back

Marco--it looks like you are back in the jaws of addiction where you have many friends.WE JUST CAN'T PASS AN ORCHID BY!!! There is always that little bit of room somewhere.I find summer is the worst because there is always room--an abundance when summering outdoors but then comes Sept.when things have to come indoors into the greenhouse.Now that's a whole other story!!!!!

 

[L I Jane]

Marco sent you a PM but decided to post this on your site.Do not look at the potting as I can't do it to save my life (needs to be done).PM me.

 

[Marco]

Jane - you've got to be kidding me. Nwo no longer has any yubae. I Lost a bid on a yubae 2 weeks ago! Those are beautiful blooms. I can do the repotting for you. I have tons of long fiber moss and extra neo pots similar to the one you are using. I just need water and a table. I actually like repotting neos for some reason I love the smell of moist fresh sphagnum.

I love the delicate colors on this one.

I would love to see the list. I'm going to pay silva a visit this sept when NWO is around. I will likely make an extended trip of it and visit some areas around jersey.

Photo updates

Sekai : My favorite. Wonderful little plant. The little guy was a save i pulled out from under the roots of the bigger plant. I water the little guy strictly with klite. It is my klite test subject. The klite test subject has been getting klite almost every watering (full drench of normal water to clean then klite water). The mother plant is normal 20-20-20.

Front :


Back:


Klite test subject:


Benkeimaru:


Shutennou: from Robert B. has 3/4 spikes


Benisuzume:


Kisuzume: Had 1 spike that blasted. Blasted likely due to over drying. Had a Fan blasting full force on the plant


Benikanzashi: Had 4 spikes that blasted. Blasted likely due to over drying. Similar to kisuzume.


Kinboshi: 1 spike


Hisui:


Kochou no mai:


Hanakanzashi: Came with passengers. but can't complain about scale for the value. Just needs a little TLC. Was in solitary confinement for a week where i alternated between two insecticides. Now it is on probation in the outskirts of the grow area.


Darwinia Charm x Neo:


Sedirea Japonica var. minmaru shima: I love how the variegation on the new leaf is forming.


Thanks for looking!

Great additions!

A few additions and an unfortunate subtraction

Came home the other day and found crown rot in my Sedirea minmaru shima. It was very upsetting. The new leaf was coming up with wonderful variegation. When I came back home from Virginia last week there was a stress mark in a leaf. I took nothing of it and thought it was just dehydrated. Yesterday I saw browning in the crown after which a simple slight tug on the leaves unraveled the entire plant .

On the bright side. The following neos followed me home from Jane's. Thanks Jane!

Neo. yubae - photo is slightly over exposed. Largest neo I've ever had.


Neo. yodo no matsu (bean leaf):


Neo. kasen no tora (tiger variegated bean leaf) 1:

Safe to say things are getting a little over crowded on the console table where I place my neos. I still have two that I'm itching for. The trip to Neptune NJ in several weeks likely will not aid in the cause. Or will it?
