Does anybody know the mature size of Seikai? I got one yesterday, mine is pretty tiny, only half inch wide and height. Just wonder need how long to flower.

Sorry Hau, missed this one! If I remember correctly, leaf span should be about 1 to 1.5 inches for Sekai to be mature enough to bloom.

Tracy,

Thanks again. So I feel better that my Seikai is not the smallest in the world.

I like your plants, they look pretty healthy.

Thanks, Hau! Did you know Sekai means "blue ocean" or "ching hoy" in cantonese? You should put a photo up of your "siu ching hoy" lah
Just add to the thread below, here's the link...
Seikai, bean leaf type

Tracy,

I knew Seikai that means "Blue Sea" in Janpanese, but I think "Ching" means Green in Chinese.

I don't want to upload my "siu ching hoy" (small Seikai), I know you guys will laugh at it, but you will probably see "tai ching hoy" (big Seikai) someday.

Yeah, I was wondering about which color "ching" refers to too. I always thought it was green. Then I asked my Dad, who happens to write a lot of chinese poetry. He said it depends on what context "ching" is used in. If you were talking about grass then "ching" means green. When you talk about the sky or the sea, "ching" is defined as "blue". Weird, huh?

Aye yah, ah Hau....we don't laugh at people's "siu foo kwai lan" here on OB. We always post silly comments on the Neo forum but we're serious about those neos And we all love ,big or small. Nay ng sai gang gah

But of course, it's up to you. If you want to wait 2 years for it to grow into "tai ching hoy", that's cool too!

Show it, show it!

Many of us newbie Neophiles who don't have many plants are just happy to see pics of others plants. Sort of collecting vicariously.

It also really helps with building the collection.

Cheers.

You have a awesome collection Glen. I'm really liking the Sediera's and Dendros too. The miniatures are really amazing.

I haven't decided on which to get as the new plant yet. As I keep searching pics of Benisuzume and Shutennou I keep flip flopping (maybe I should go into politics ). I might have to work a little harder on Marlene and get her more involved in Neos. Maybe if I'm lucky, we might get one of each.

Cheers.
Jim

New World Orchids sells a Japanese fuukiran book that lists 315 varieties and they have all the Kanji names translated into the Japanese names written in English. The spellings may vary on some names but for the most part it is accurate. This is the most extensive list I know of.

You probably already know that everything in the Meikan is given registered fuukiran status. There are fuukiran that are not on the Meikan and others that may not be registered yet too.

Sorry Tracy, I totally missed your answer! Thanks for the info, must get my hands on that book!

No worries, Anders Just to let you know as well, Glenn said he only has a few of these left. This was about a month ago. So, hope you're able to snatch yourself a copy!
