That's true! I'll give up the house & car. Just need to keep the T5 fixture and the fans.

LOLOLOL. . .Life, is all about choices.

I prefer raman soup and more Neos.

But, boy, holding it in real life - it is spectacular!!

I agree with Gwen, you need to carry it around and see the light change through the leaves. Absolutely awesome!!

I so agree. I have yet to see any photos that really captures the beauty of this one. And I don't think any of the descriptions I've read about it do either. Funny. Anyway, I am not satisfied with the photos for this one, at all but that's the fun fun fun of this one.

P.S. Just so you all know. . .Glenn has more of these.

Okay. . .found what I think is the perfect Erin pot for this one!

[LinhT]

Another nicely pimped out one from G-money!

Geez Gwen! You find the nicest plants I think I am maybe going to have to go through my list of must have neos and give Glenn a call. If I can set up a meeting, I'm going to have to pick up a couple new Neos in November!

Help me choose!!, And not just Gwen... everyone!

Hiya!

Thanks you two!

Shams, first, you've GOT to have the Kinkosei. . .it's not one of the super expensive ones and is super easy to grow and it's just super WONDERFUL.

And when you have some bucks to throw down, get the Shunkyudan! Gawd, I want that one. The Seikai is a great one.

And I really think you should get a Hisui and a Shutteno too. . .if you don't have them.

I am sure, Shannan and the others will have even more for you to put on your wish list.

I was thinking about Hisui... and I already HAVE Sho Ten Nou :rolf:

Ok.... here is what I have already:
1 Classic Neofinetia falcata
1 Sho Ten Nou
1 Gekkikan
2 itsy bitsy Anzumaru

I really like your Kinkosei, I will add it to my list. I was also thinking of getting a little bean leaf.... but I know nothing about the bean leafs. Hisui is kind of pricey,,, I was wondering if anyone had the mountain Green variety.... I'd like to see a flower on that one

[gmdiaz]

I have a little bean leaf Suikadan and really, really like it but the Seikai has light pink CONTORTED flowers. The bean leaves are sort of curled down.

Oooh and I really like the Tenkei Fukkurin! That one has very nice variegation.

Suikaden would give me a green flower AND a bean leaf! it would kill two birds But That Seikai is OMG cute..... cant' get Hisui if I get that one... that's for sure. I don't know if I'm ready for Tenkei Fukkurin just yet. I have Gekkikan for a verigated leaf, and it's still my little darling because it gave me an unexpected flower this year!

Good lord Gwen.... write out a list of what you have... I want to know!
