Neofinetia falcata

[JaneEyre]

What a lovely plant! Now I definitely want one. I've been looking at one for month contemplating to get it or not. You have such a beautiful specimen, I am inspired to get one of my own.

Yes, do get one. They're very addicting.

I'd suggest a basic wild-type Neo. falcata which you can get fairly cheaply from Cal-Orchid or Amami Island, always available from Glenn at New World Orchids as good "starter" Neos. Amami island is a slightly larger form of the wild Neo. They're easy to get, inexpensive, forgiving, and rewarding with their blooms which their fragrance is fantastic.

Cheers.
Jim

Well here it is this year, I only got 4 spikes. Don't know why? And the tallest growth did not spike & it has 9/10 leaf pairs on it. Not a very good photo
