Neofinetia/Vanda falcata Ogwan '오관 (烏冠)'
Got this guy from DavesGardenObsession on Etsy. Came bare root and the roots looked great. I didn't need to snip any off.
This Korean variety presents both sumi and fukurin, as you can kind of see the fukurin on at least one leaves. I imagine being in the dark for a few days didn't help keep the fukurin in the leaves. Could also be a variety where mature leaves turn solid green, I'm not sure. It's hard finding information about lesser known varieties.
This is also my first attempt at doing the traditional moss mound in a K35 Neo pot. Not bad but I definitely could've made it a bit more neat/cleaner.
Let it stay dry for a few days and then just wanted it early this morning along with the rest of the orchids that needed to be watered.
EDIT: Some more info:
This variety is apparently has Amami parentage, so it'll supposedly have bigger flowers.
The most I can find to what Ogwan '오관' (烏冠) means is something in Buddhism. Something to do with crowns or 5 points.
