Made you look! oke:

They're just starting to open. I'll post progression photos within a couple of days.

 

[Heather]

Tease!
Cool photos though. Very artsy, Marco!

Warning: Image heavy

Ok well these photos are still premature there's 4 other spikes that are still forming. It took approximately 23 days

I love the color and it smells great too!

Ah man, now I have to get one.

You know, my feelings exactly.

 

[Heather]

So cute.

I'm waiting to see how my Shutennou compares.
Oh, and stop it Marco.

 

[Marco]

Stop what?

 

[Heather]

Stop what?

Don't pretend you aren't working this....

 

[Marco]

Very nice blooms, Marco!:drool:

You are making us jealous up here in Canada! :rollhappy:

 

[myxodex]

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing ... hope some of mine bloom this year.

 

[bwester]

maybe i'll like these when mine actually blooms

 

[Heather]

Trick is to buy em now, when they're spiking!

 

[Marco]

I have more photos but ill wait till the other spikes form.....

 

[NYEric]

Nice progression.

 

[papheteer]

Since i don't know anything about Neos, is this a separate species or Neofinetia falcata var. benisuzume?

 

[Marco]

papheteer, i could be horribly mistaken but i'm pretty sure theyre just all variations and theres only one species. If anyone else can put in their 2 cents that would be great

 

[SlipperFan]

Pretty! Nice lighting on these, also.

Very nice photos. Jason Fischer had an article in Orchid Digest that nicely broke down the varieties and variegations of this species. Very desirable plants plants to have.
