Why do you grow Neofinetia falcata?

Wow, Jim!

Those Cryptocorynes are really beautiful and interesting! I've never seen those in my LIFE! Cool hobby!

You mean that you are willing to wait two months to get one of those pots? Don't you want one now Maybe an early x-mas present?

Ah! Crypt. cordata 'Rosanervig', one of the more challenging plants to grow emersed, and one of my fav's. After a year, mine has 3 leaves and is noway near mature enough to flower like that. Patience, patience.

Cheers.

At that time, I didn't know the dimensions of these things and thought I could actually fit my Ikea Phal into it. Too bad I do not excel in taking pictures.

Wow! Those are beautiful pots! Did you get them through New World? And you've really got the moss mound down too, great job. I've actually been practicing trying to make the moss mound and it's an art in itself. As with everything else in Japanese gardening, disipline, and practice, practice, practice!!

Cheers.

you can also put a Pumkin on top of each pot during 2 or 3 days, and there is the perfect excuse... you needed a dragon pot for Halloween

Thanks, Jim! I got all these from Orchids Limited (orchidweb.com). They're not on the website though. They recently had a new shipment in of these kinds of pots. Trust me, Jim, after you mound over 20 of these things you'll be doing it with yours eyes closed. AND...you'll be really sick of touching moss.
