Neo Book from Dr. Glenn Lehr arrived.

Speaking of Satomi, I am just checking her "May" plant list..... I see Yatsufusa less than $60.

Tracy, I am originally from Mie, which is south from Nagoya. As I was going through the book, I saw quite a few plants from it or the prefecture south from Mie, Wakayama ( aka "Kishu" ). I am calling my parents this week to see if they know anything about Neos.

What does page 227 say? And the bottom paragraph of page 94? I've wanted those 2 for a long time but I'm 99% sure I'll never find those. It's still nice to dream though.

Let's see....

Page 227 - "Musashi" It was found in Wakayama. It has a plain, "mameba" (bean leaf) type leaf.

This plant has three leaf features:
1. "Wave" such as "Seikai"
2. "Hiba" such as "Benkeimaru" (page 148)
3. "Konpe" such as "Ushiwakamaru" (page 118)

Subjectively speaking, it belongs to an "odd" group instead of a "pretty" or a "cute" group. This is pretty much a personal preference: like it or not like it. It is very popular in Japan and very limited. It would probably take for a while to be widely available to us.

Page 94 "Naniwajishi Shiro Nakafu"

This is the rare form of "Naniwajishi" with some white spots. When these spots go down to lower leaves, it becomes "Okinajishi" ( unregistered page 178). When those spots are spread around, it is called "Chiyodajishi" (page 32).

Does it make sense? I did not know there are soooooooooooooooooooo many variations.

Yes! Makes perfect sense! Thankyou so much for taking the time to translate this for me

I LOVE the weird, kind of ugly, orchids. Are you healthy enough to drink? You deserve some alcohol.

You are very welcome, Tracy.

I happened to visit a vinyard with a branch manager of the bank for a new business prospecting. I brought myself a bottle of sparkling wine.

Have you shown those pictures to Jason Fisher at OL?

Naoki, is the book called 富貴蘭辞典? I've been looking for that book for a while, but nobody seems to have it.
Shunkyuden, Yatsufusa, and Yamafubuki are fairly easy to get. I'll probably divide my Shunkyuden soon. Manjyushage is still around $1000 a growth, Seed Engei had one at Orchid Express in San Jose. I'm not sure about the others.

Kip, you can buy it from NWO, it's $50.

Kip, yes! This is the book. Glenn Lehr at New World Orchids has it. New World Orchids Home Page You send an email for the inquiry. He should let you know. I paid $50 + $10 for shipping.

Also, please let me know if you decide to divide your Shunkyuden. Depending on the price, I would like to own it.

Thanks, Kate and Naoki. I've been reluctant to buy from NWO, since they don't have a secure server. I'll check into it anyway.
Naoki, the Shunkyuden will probably be divided next month, it'll be a single blooming size growth.
Kate, I'd avoid the Manjyushage seedlings. as I said in this earlier thread, there's no guarantee that the plant will have the same flower type.

Kip, the Manjyushage seeding is only 1/10 price of the true one. I wanna try to see how lucky I am. lol By the way, did you get the neos from Satomi recently beside the show?
