Great photo!! I have a Shutennu, and I really hope it will bloom this spring. So far it's just growing lots of roots.

That is so pretty. It makes me want to cry because this morning I had to toss mine. It just slowly died. I really like that one, it has such pretty coloring.

I'm sorry Marilyn, I know how you feel! If it makes you feel any better I won a lot of Neos on ebay last year. The babies obviously weren't ready to be divided since I lost 2 out of the 5. They just didn't have enough established roots

Megan your photography is great! What a beauty your Shutenno is!

Marylin, I can relate to how you feel. I killed one of my neo's last year and I don't even know what went wrong and nearly almost killed another! I have bought several more since and so far I haven't killed them yet!

That is sweet, Megan.

Cool, did you smell it? I almost forgot what they smelled like over the winter until my Orihime bloomed this week. It was love at first smell all over again...

Thanks everyone!

Yes I did smell it while I could, the scent was heavenly! The blooms are on their way out, but I imagine the next spike will bloom sometime this summer.
