Neo. falcata 'Tamakongo'

[Chris147]

Okay so today I went to a really cool orchid greenhouse close by. I picked up a cheap neofinetia which I am in love with. The other plants looked really good to, and he had a lot of them. I almost walked away with a schoenorchis fragrans as well, but I controlled myself. Next time I go I will definatly get one along with a Haraella odorata. He had plenty of them and they were so small. I absolutly love this place and will definatly go back again. Hopefully in the near future. Here are some pictures of my new baby. Hopefully it will bloom soon.

I had saw many pictures on the internet, but none of them look like the real thing. I also didn't think the leaves were this thick. I thought they were thin, but I love my 'Tamakongo' and wouldn't change a thing about it.

hey chris. you said the leaves were thick but how much smaller are the leaves versus a regular neo? and im also wondering if the scent varies at all.

Absolutely adorable

Well the leafspan is about 2 1/2 inches acroos, but as far as the scent goes I have no clue. The person I bought it from said he had never seen it bloom before, but I will be posting when this plant does bloom. Until then you and I will have to wait.
