SENZAI
 

Senzai has been the one. I've looked and looked and came so close twice before. I would have been happy with a single growth. This little Neo is very hard to find and I was fortunate to have found one listed on Seed Engei's last monthly list. I was so excited!

I received the shipment and held my breath while opening the package! Once unwrapped I was amazed at the tiny perfection in my hands. This little Senzai has 8 growths and 3 tiny babies poking through the mass of plant. It is beautiful, perfect in every way. There are 2 old blooms spikes, wish I could have seen the blooms. This is a very healthy little plant.

I had to make a special pot for this one, it's a special Neo for me, a personal victory including a happy dance.

A thousand years, hmmm. I could only conceive a couple of ideas, a stone or boulder maybe a tree, a old tree. So here is Senzai in it's pot, a concept of a tree with a leafy canopy and lol, logs for the feet of the pot. SENZAI

Bravo :clap:

Wow, that is stunning!

The bean leaves are so really gorgeous and look almost like succulents, so plump and green :love:

Congrats on your find!!

Congrats on finally getting a badly wanted orchid! It's the best feeling, and the kind of high that makes collecting orchids so wonderful. :biggrin:

Wonderful pot and potting job, it really shows off the beauty of the plant!

Did you also make the pot?

Thank you! I do love the bean leaves with their tiny form and the clumps are so cute.

Thank you Camille! It is very exciting to finally find that one allusive orchid. The pot was a lot of fun to make, I've made a couple and enjoy it. I believe this pot will allow the moss to dry well, maybe too well so I'll keep an eye on it.

I think I need to do a bit of sanding and I've yet to apply a sealing coat, I was impatient to see how the orchid looked in its new pot.

Dolly, yes I did make the pot. It needs a bit of finish work, I was too impatient to see the Senzai nestled inside. I think the plant will be fine in here and it is an awfully cute orchid. So happy to have found one!

I am super impressed with your ability.

Wow, not only is your little Senzai absolutely beautiful, but the homemade pot is so very special. The overall display is just gorgeous. :)

Wow. What a beauty! Senzai is one of my favorites, and you have a lovely plant.

Mine has grown some since these photos...
