Congratulations Tracey. It looks great.

I just picked one up at Orchidfest and I can';t wait to see it flower. Hopefully next year.

Cheers.

Congrats. I agree the Neos like pretty high light.

Very nice growing Tracy. I can get mine to produce new roots and new growth but I can't get them to spike.

I like that! It really is a nice plant and well bloomed too.

Hi Tracey - Sure is a beauty. I wish I could afford so many more but enjoying the ones I do have. Thought you would like to know my little "Flag" has a new leaf. Thanks.

Hi, Mike

I'm pretty convinced that (for some varieties) the higher light makes them bloom more and increases the chances of blooming a variety that does not bloom often, like Kuro Shinju. Please let me know if your Kuro Shinjyu blooms next year because I'd love to buy the pollen from you if you are willing to sell. I want to cross that one with a pink, 3 spur variety. My Kuro Shinjyu bloomed already this season but it was BEFORE I learned how to pollinate

I'm glad it's doing well for you, Don. Amazingly, 'Angel' has survived my care so far.

She's even starting another new growth.

Hi Tracy, my Kuro Shinju has grown two new leaves and a new root but I think it is still to small to bloom but if I am lucky and it does bloom I will save the pollen for you.

Just a quick update on my own 'Suikaden', Its actually spiking now! What I first thought was a new growth is a spike that has been there for almost a year, and now its beginning to grow larger. Cant wait.
