From what I read this evening, lack of cold won't prevent them from blooming. Instead they will tend to bloom more frequently but with lower bloom counts per blooming than if they just bloomed once after a proper winter rest.
I'm thinking of buying 3, maybe 4 if I can overrule the rational side of my brain. I also want to get some 4 or 5A sphag that he has, but that stuff is expensive; 20€ for 100g.
I've managed to narrow it down a bit. I want a Shutenno. Very common type, but I've been wanting a pink flowering Neo for ages. I want a variegated plant, it'll be either Higashidemiyako or Gojo Fukurin. Leaning towards the Gojo. For my bean leaf, I'd like Tamakongo or Kirin Maru (in an ideal world, both). I'm hesitating to add a yellow tiger stripe Neo to the list (Kinyuko or Jitsugekko).
I'll save the green flowering Neos for another time, I read that the green color depends a lot on cultural conditions, so I'll wait until I have some experience growing Neos.

And Kibana! I want that too!
It's not a pure Neo falcata, but I love the yellow flowers.

I just read something very interesting about our Yoroidoshi plants, while searching for Neo info. On another forum, in a thread from 2015, someone was told by Kristen from NWO that Yoroidoshi very rarely blooms, she managed once. Matt confirmed that it's difficult to get it to bloom, and added that it also is a terminal spiking plant, so once a fan has spiked, that's it. Guess I'll enjoy for the foliage only, it is very nice luckily!
