That Mangetsu is really great, but I also feel that $1000 is a lot for a plant.

Thanks Mate!

Satomi warned me about keeping the Amanogawa in lower light so it doesn't burn. I'm not sure about a lot of the tigers as they look like they're not healthy, but like you said, the white ones are just cracking plants!

Thanks for the compliment on the Rain-no-hikari. Variegated Neos are among my favourites. When I saw it, I knew I just had to have it. But that Mangetsu? Wow! It was one of those hallelujah moments...like seeing the grail.

Cheers.

I like Amanogawa too (I got a nice one last fall from Satomi too) but Houmeiden has fantastic red roots that had so much to the pant, in my opinion!

There are new additions and some have been moved because of their popularity. I need to find a way to scan it. Unless someone has the latest version of Photo Shop. Then I can send some pictures and PS will just line them up and stitch them together and create a single seamless image.

Cheers.

Really?!?! Could you post an image of it here when you get a chance? Then we can try to figure out what's on the top row in 2012 just for giggles.

You can send the pics to my email (you have it) Jim, I will do the stitching for you.
