That's beautiful but no way, not me That's where I draw the line.

If I had an extra $100,000 to throw around I'd divide it up equally and make donations to my favorite animal rescue organizations/ shelters.

I'm hoping someday in the near future these will be mass produced via the methods that ST poster was talking about. Then we can all have one for $50.

I'm with you Jim !

I did not buy any orchids for 2 yrs. So this year I asked Jason about dividing his Benitengu. I saw it in bloom 3 yrs ago and told him I wanted a division when it was ready. It's the coolest neon pink I've seen on a neo. I didn't want ANY Benitengu. I wanted a piece of THAT one.

The second one on my wish list this year was a nice plant of Kouen for a good price.

3rd and last one was one of those glossy/ waxy leaf neos.

I got all my wishes for 2012 so I'm good

As far as "after winning the lottery" neos...I think Hanamatoi, Musashi and something from that neo calender. Can't remember the name but it translated to "Black Panther" I think....

These crazy names are all becoming a blur to me.

I'll always have a neo wish list and it keeps changing.
I got four shima type from Glenn this year : Orihime, Fujiho, Kinkounishiki, and Takaranishiki. Also got Unkai from the London based dealer which has been on my wish list for a while. I've run out of budget and space and have to part with some before I can get anymore ... well ... I sort of told myself that last year so I think I'm at about 35 now. Anyhow for my wish list most of which are lottery winner types I suspect:
(1) One of the board-leaved shima types like Ooemarushima or Youkihime, (both would also be nice),
(2) one of the straight-leaved variegated types like Kotonishiki (really like the form of this one),
(3) one of the Kinbotan types with real red ruby roots, Hakubotan would do nicely ... especially the one on the cover of the fukiran encyclopedia with the almost red axis,
... not finished but I better stop here, I think I'm getting dizzy !

Cheers,
Tim

Who's the London based dealer? It's good to know!

[Neodex]

Camille, the london based dealer is the Korean seller I guess you've heard about; Greeny-Pottery ( Neofinetia falcata Pots, Bonsai Pots items in Greeny Pottery store on eBay! ). They also had Sengaku and Jukai earlier this year and I was dithering about whether to get them and the sold out in a few days of being put up for sale. I have to say that they are very good, healthy plants at reasonable prices and prompt service. They do deliver in the EU, but you have to watch their site because the hard to get varieties go very quickly. They also sell A4 and A5 grade moss ... which is actually the real thing, unlike the stuff I got from another supplier which was regular grade at the inflated price.

[Neodex]

Also, I forgot ... they sell by the Korean names ... but if you have any neo books you can look up the kanji and get the Japanese names. Mostly this is straight forward because the Koreans seem to follow the Japanese registration system and the meikan, but also have a neo federation of their own and, I think (but I may be wrong on this ?) that they also recognise new varieties independently ... so you won't always find a Japanese name for all of their varieties.
Cheers,
Tim

Dosn't it get a little confusing with Greeny Pottery listing their Neos in Korean?

Cheers.
