Hi there! New guy here

[Hakumin]

Hi there,

I've been lurking around for a while just reading what people have had to say about neofinetias and i figured that I'd come out and say "hi"

I'd been interested in orchids, but especially neofinetias for a long while after seeing them in Korea when I first went to visit my extended family. Finally, I then moved to a new place where I actually had the proper conditions to grow these, and so I started building up my modest little collection that I've listed below. Since for me, the tradition of growing neofinetias is as much Korean as Japanese, I've listed the varieties by both their Japanese and Korean names.

朱天王 - 주전왕
Shutenno - Jucheonwang

黄花 - 황화
Kibana - Hwanghwa

翡翠 - 비취
Hisui - Bichwi

奄美広葉 - 아마미광엽
Amami Hiroba - Amami Gwangyeop

双尾龍 - 쌍미룡
Soubiryu - Ssangmiryong

曼珠沙華 - 만주사화
Manjushage - Manjusahwa

玉金剛 - 옥금강
Tamakongo - Okgeumgang

樹海 - 수해
Jukai - Suhae

黒真珠 - 흑진주
Kuroshinju - Heukjinju

月桂冠 - 월계관
Gekkeikan - Weolgyegwan

To round out my collection sometime in the near future I'm planning on getting a Houmeiden/Poongmyungjeon (豊明殿) and a striped bean leaf, maybe a Ryokusaiho/Nokchaebo (緑彩宝).

Well, all said,
Ern.
