Hey there OB! Thanks to Jason Fischer at Orchids Ltd. for helping me get into Neofinetia's.
I love Japanese culture whether it be their customs, food, tuner cars, bonsai, the list goes on and on. It was real easy for me to pick up on Neo's as I spent more time with Jason in the shop. I am huge into Vandaceous species, so again, fit the bill. The cultivar names are brilliant too, yet poetic.
As a biologist, it is cool to see so many different phenotypes of one particular species. Genetic drift and mutations are always coming up with some new cultivars for us to all enjoy. It is sad that collection of wild-types have dwindled their numbers. Hopefully we can re-introduce them one day. Anyone know of any such journal where this has been done? I can at least appreciate the Fuuran through my Fuukiran collection!
I hope to add many more as I grow older. Please let me know of spelling corrections and how I can get the Kanji for all the names. Thanks.
