You are just as bad as Shannan when it comes to enabling!!:rofl: You know how yesterday I said I would resist the Neo itch as long as possible? Well it turns out that "as long as possible" actually means less than 24h!! I just PMed the great enabler :rofl: :rofl:

Note to self: I will not think about the dens, I will not think about the dens, I will not think about the dens....... :drool:

Sandy, check around for prices before your order a neo from Cal Orchids. Some of their neos are more expensive than Jason's or Glenn's. Plus they don't have the vast varieties of Neofinetia.

Kavanaru & Shakkai, I'm starting to question whether or not my Akebono has ruby roots since Shakkai's Akebono has the normal roots. When I unpotted my Akebono to remound it in new moss, the roots inside the moss were a bright purple, pink color. They looked very different from the other ones I have with the red roots. One of the aerial roots on my Akebono is starting to grow again right now and it looks to be a very dark purple. I'll put up a photo when it's more visible.

I'm anxious to find out what kind of paph and phrag I'll end up with on Friday.:biggrin:

Camille, I have some Dend. monoliforme coming from Glenn on thursday. I'll put some pics up here and let you decide if you really "don't want to think about them":rofl: They are so little and cute. Most of the ones I'm getting are about 2 inches.

LinhT, let's infect her together :rofl: Today I eceived my 4 new Neos and the 2 new Dendros

Neo Shutenkaku
Neo Hisui (to replace the one I bought as Hisui but resulted to be Suikaden)
Neo Cyosentetsu Aojiku
Neo Gekkeikan (lovely variegation!) --> Thank you Shannan!!! You've really understood what I like :)

Dendrobium moniliforme Turuhime
Dendrobium moniliforme Hakuturu

I will post pics here for Camille, later today... :evil:

Ramon, don't just give us words.....PICS:photo: :photo: :photo: :photo: please!!! I can't wait to see them, especially Geikkeiken. I heard that one is a "morpher". And those cute dens!!! I'll be checking in OB every few hours today like some crazy orchid freak to see those pics.:blushing:

And what's even funnier is that I will be too! (And I know what the plants look like!) :faint: Must be some kind of disease - obsessive/compulsive orchid disease? ...:scratchhead:

Shannan, I think these Japanese species are taking over my life. I don't even remember which varieties of Dend monoliforme I ordered from Glenn anymore on Monday. I don't think OCD gets much worse than this.

O - orchid
C - compulsion
D - disorder

I am so laughing. . .

To tide everyone over... I've done a thread with pics of Den. monoliforme....
