What's the name of the little one? I can't believe there's such a size difference! Then again, I've never seen a Neo until now! How big are they?

Sue, I ordered the Sedirea japonica Daruma Minamru as well! I can't wait to get it after seeing yours! You know there was an even smaller version of it, but it wasn't in spike like the Daruma Minamru is supposed to be.

This one does have a spike but that's not why I ordered it, it just seemed to be calling my name

Well the bigger one is at least 7-8" from the top of the moss ball to the tip of the highest leaf. I paid for a 3 growth one and this has at least that. Its quite a bit bigger than expected. While the little fella is about 3.5-4" and just has one growth with a second small one coming up. The smaller one is Neo Sho Ten Nou. The "Red Emporer" neo. Supposed to have cherry red tips on the blooms. I can't wait to see it flower!

It sounds like Christmas!! Everyone has packages to open!!

It is great seeing all of the photos!

For those that got more than one Neo, please let me know when you decide which one will be your 'project' plant, so that I can note it with our list of project participants!!

Everyone has such nice plants! I will never survive until the UK show in June, the anticipation is going to kill me.

Maybe I show buy more orchids until then to make me feel better?
Shannan, have you reserved yours yet?

Camille, I sent a list of the ones I wanted/was interested in, but I've not had confirmation yet that they are 'ordered'... but I think they have been a bit busy with all of the orders to these guys!!
