Mini or ultra-mini bean-leaf

[DelawareJim]

Hi all;

I'm looking for a mini bean-leaf or an ultra-mini bean-leaf like Fukuzutsumi, Tama Warabe, Kuru Shinju, or Ryoku Hou No Shima. Any other suggestions would also be appreciated.

Anyone know any sources? I know Glenn-san at New World has Kuro Shinju. Seed-Engei didn't have and bean-leaf.

Also, as I recall Tracy and Anders you both have Kuro Shinju. Where did you get yours and how has it been doing?

Thanks.

Cheers.
Jim

Jim, I got my Kuro Shinjyu from Orchids Limited 3 Summers ago. It's grown pretty well and is one of my most "well behaved" ones. It was a small plant when I first got it and has put out many new growths. It's also bloomed last year and this year.

If you are looking into Ryukuhou-no-shima, I'm assuming you want to spend $1000 on a neo???

If so, there is another one called Magatama. It is a very small bean leaf with ruby roots and the top leaf sometimes has white tiger variegation. It's really cute.

Also recommend a search - Senzai (size 1"-1.5")
NWO have this neo.

Look it here

Yikes! We're not quite there yet. It wasn't until after we paid off the mortgage that I could buy a $100 plant without getting weak knees and sweaty palms.

The Magatama sounds cool. I'll have to ask around. Maybe Glenn can look for it next spring.

Cheers.

Hi Jim!

I got my Kuro Shinjyu from Glen at NWO about a 1½ year ago. A two growths plant. Its growing and looks to be healthy, no flowers on it yet, Tracy is better at flowering these than me.

Tracy, do you have a picture of Magatama? It sounds very interesting.

Anders, she's just a baby When she grows up a bit, she'll bloom for you!

Here's a photo of Magatama. The leaf span is only about 1 inch. I'm not sure how big this one is suppose to get.

Ramon;

Thanks. I don't know why, it didn't even occur to me at the time to check Jason's site. I guess I just had a senior moment there.

So when did you move to France?

Cheers.
