Neofinetia falcata (Project 6b - Spring 2008)

[shakkai]

Ramón, I only ordered one variegated Neo. However, in the plants that Glenn left with me, there are lots of variegated ones... Let me know if there is one that you were specifically interested in.

The variegated one that I got is Haku Fukurin, and I think I'm going to use that as my project plant, although the yellow flowered one that I got, Ogonmaru, is tempting to use, but I'll have to see if it is going to flower. The Haku Fukurin is in spike, so should be very pretty when the flowers open - then I can get some nice photos of it. It has really nice white and pink variegation.

Funny about the Swiss post... I sent a daylily to Russia and it took almost two weeks to get there. It seems that the post varies so much. However, when I order orchids from Germany, I can set my watch by how long it takes to get here... always 3 days after they send it. Weird, eh?

well, I have actually not yet thought of any in particuler. It is just that I would like to more or less make a round collection: Amami (white flowers), Benisuzume (pink), Ogonmaru (yellow), Suikuden (sold as Hisui, for the green flowers), and would like to add a variegated one (à la Fukurin) to it.

well... I was also very surprised... swiss post is very very accurate for inland shipping... when I order from Germany or France, it takes only 3 days (if the french are not striking again - seem to be the national sport in france ), from USA 5-7 days, but with UK... wow... you never know...

I love everyone's pots, they are so cute!! They go so well with the plants. Makes me wish I had ordered some, but heavy pots would make it impossible for me to haul my entire collection to the netherlands in september!

My experience with English mail service is that it's slow to get to France! The Dutch are quick though, only 3 days usually. All we can do is pray they arrive quickly...
And striking is the national sport in France! There was one last week(everyone), the fishermen striked 2 weeks, now the trunkers and taxis, there was a strike today (the trains) and more planned on the 16 and 17th.

Shannan, I would be more than happy to take some Neo's off your hands!! Which do you have that you don't want to keep?
