Those leaves are definitely bean shaped. . .and the plant looks exactly like my Neo. falcata 'Suikaden' (Imperial Flag). I am expecting mine to bloom white with green tips on the petals. I'll post a pic ASAP so you can compare. Also I want to go check my spreadsheet for info on the Hisui. Be right back.

Well, according the NWO website and my spreadsheet. . .the Hisui is supposed to have regular shaped green leaves. And bloom green with a white lip. It does not have bean shaped leaves. Maybe there are different varieties of the Hisui, different forms? I sure don't know. . .this is all so new. Maybe ask Alex or Dr. Lehr what they think it is.

It sure will be fun and interesting to see how it blooms out!
