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.
