My first Neos

[LinhT]

Hi Sheridan!

Yep, I've checked out Asiatica before. I was never able to order from them because they only have a few so I could not find the ones I was looking for from them.

Linht, I think my next one will be a Yellow one.

Lovely, Sheridan! Remember to post pictures when you get it!

I'm still waiting for someone, anyone to fork out the dough for DNA testing on some of those yellow ones. So if anybody has confirmed data on this, I'd love to read it!

If the regular moss (3A) is too broken up for you guys, you can order the 4A or 5A grade from Glenn. It is much easier to pot up with but will be a bit more expensive than the regular moss. I don't know of the European sources for these but as of right now, I think Glenn at NWO is the only one who has the 5A grade available.

Thanks Linht I will check that out.

Sue, I wish I lived in Australia so I could collect Sarcochilus. I believe they rival Neofinetias.

Sandy you might want to try Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' (Neof. falcata x Vasco Thom Yuen Hae) or Renanetia Sunrise (Neof. falcata x Renanthera Imschootiana. Darwinara Charm is a lavender blue and Renanetia Sunrise is an orange/red. Both are prolific bloomers. Both of my plants have been in continuous bloom since spring. I grow them like a Vanda.

Hi Jerry

When I looked at the Neo plants I thought they looked a lot like sarcs too and Sarcs are small growers as well. I would have thought sarcs would be readily available anywhere in the USA. If not, I am very surprised. I have a Sarc falcatus in bloom now and it has a lovely perfume. I have it mounted on a piece of cork and it's not too fussy. Sarcs like lower light. From some of the comments about Neos and their potting medium, they seem to be a bit fussy, but I want to try one anyway. I will keep my eyes open.

I got it from the same Bonsai Nursery for $5. It is 3 1/2 inch tall and 4 1/2 inch in diameter. They have different designs and sizes also. I went there yesterday and got another one which is 3x4. The also carry Asian Cymbidium pots. They also have different varieties of Neos (no tag) and Dendrobium moliforme but they sell them for $80 which I believe is a little pricey.
