What's your neo wish list for 2012?

[LinhT]

Happy Neo season, Neofinetia fans and junkies

So what's on your wish list for 2012? Or your neo wish list in general?

Feel free to include ones you would actually buy in addition to the ones you will buy after you win the lottery.

The yellow one you posted not long ago!!!!!!!!!

Where do you all get your neos?

[Norris]

I would like to have one of the variegated bean leaf varieties... but I think that's one for after I win the lottery

... So until then I would like to get something with inner variegation such as Akebono.

Hi Tracy,

Mmmm, where do I start!?!

Well, here is what I would like to get, not all of them are rare or uncommon in the trade in the states, but because Neo's are virtually unobtainable here in South Africa, they're still feature high on my list.

This is what I would like to get:

Seikei
Kinboshi
Hoshigurume
Hisui
Shunkyuden
Any tiger stripe variety

Who am I kidding, any new Neo would be great!!! ;-)!!

Regards,

Craig

Nenella, I hope a yellow neo comes your way soon!

Norris, seems like those variegated bean leaf ones are on many neo fans' "dream wish lists". I emailed Seed Engei a couple years ago about a white, striped Suikaden. Satomi emailed me back saying it was extremely rare and costs around $10,000 in Japan. I felt like a dork for asking but got a good laugh out of it.

Craig, you have been starving for neos in South Africa for several years now! I hope one of the vendors makes it out there so you can keep building your already, very nice collection. Nice choices on the wish list!

Ryan,
The 3 main US vendors who specialize in compact Japanese species (neos, sedireas, dend mons, cym goeringii etc) are:

Orchids Limited Orchids Limited - Neofinetia Season
Seed Engei Neofinetia falcata/Japanese orchid/Samurai orchid/SEED ENGEI (they sell under japaneseorchids on ebay)
New World Orchids www.newworldorchids (I don't think Glenn has Japanese cyms)

Nice list! You may want to consider a seed grown Benimusou? I remember NWO has it listed for a decent price. It's even cheaper than some of the ones on your regular wish list.

Thanks for the tip Tracy!
