Thanks Lin...it's now a sticky

[shakkai]

Wow! What a great list! Thanks!! If and when my Shachikoryu decides to flower, I'll be sure to get pics. I also have Shunkyuuden, Sekai, Unkai, Hoshiguruma and Kutsuwamushi. But they are all new and I haven't seen any of them flower yet. Nevertheless, I can start threads for them that we can link to here.

I guess its obvious that I like weird flowers!!

This is such a great list! Than you so much for posting it for us. And thank you Sue for making it a sticky!

You know, LinhT everytime you post, I have to add something new to my wish list!

Now adding: Tennyono-Hai

I really like weird flowers too! Very cool ones listed here!

[LinhT]

Thankyou, thankyou Shakkai! I hope your Shachikoryu blooms soons. I REALLY want to see another pic of it.

[LinhT]

Yup! I knew you'd like that one, G!

[gmdiaz]

I am just emailing Glenn to see if he has one!

Got some nice photos of 3 spurred Manjyushage with my camera. This plant belongs to Neo Jedi Master, Jason Fischer and the pic was taken by him at the greenhouse. Of course, it's all pimped in it's extremely expensive, beautiful pot. I could not afford this ensemble because I do not have children to sell on ebay.

Thanks for sharing, that one is gorgeous! I had never heard of a Neo having 3 spurs. It's really nice to be able to admire it here, because I don't even want to imagine the cost of such a plant!!
