I thought I would try to make a list of some of the different types of Neos. This one is for the variegated leaves with the stripes running lengthwise.

(Photos to follow! And I will add in links to individual posts about these plants.)

Akebono - Green leaves with lighter green or silvery center stripes.

Asahiden (means Rising Sun Lord) - Yellow and green striped leaves.

Fugaku (means Mount Fuji) - Variable stripes on leaves, some can be heavily striped and other solid green.
More info: Fugaku

Gekkeikan (means Laurel Crown) - Green center with wide creamy-yellow margins.

Gojyo Fukurin (means Castle Fukurin) - Creamy-yellow margins.

Haku Fukurin (means White Blue Dragon) - Very dark green with white picotee edge, sometimes has purple also in the leaves.

Hakuseiryu - Dark green with fine stripes and red pigmentation in leaves.

Higashidemiyako (means East Side of Kyoto) - Green leaves with a yellow margin.

Orihime (means Princess of Vega) - Variable stripes on leaves.

Wow what a neat idea to start a thread like this! Is it ok to make suggestions to add to the list if we notice one is missing?

Becca - yes, please! Everyone jump in and add information. If you know of any I should add, post them here. If its a plant that you have, or you have some additional information about them, then why not start a new thread showcasing the plant, and I can then add it to the list here, with a link to the thread? Hopefully between all of us, we may be able to cover most of the more readily available varieties!!

Thanks Becca!!

The one variegated Neo I have is Rainnohikari. Here is a link to the thread with a photo of it. Hope this helps! http://www.orchidboard.com/community...o-my-neos.html

According to what I have read and remembered, A Neof. falcata has to be really special to be ranked as Fukurin. Can any variegated Neof. facata be called Fukurin?
