Neo falcata Cheongchukbuak 靑軸富嶽 (Aojiku Fugaku in Japanese)
I got this Neo only about a month ago and within 2 days of getting it a spike appeared. I'm surprised by how quickly the spike developed!
The fragrance is amazing, in late afternoon/ evening it fills that part of the room with a nice flowery scent (though is also smells slightly of mothballs). I'm going to order another Neo!

What a beauty....I love the varigation on the leaves....that is a unique and expensive kind but now that they have mass produced it ....its become affordable; otherwise it used to be thousands of dollars to have one....my Neos are also in spike....I am glad you got yourself a Neo once and for all

For a variegated leaf Neo, I got it very cheaply even by today's prices. If I convert into dollars, it was $25. The variegation isn't very strong though, but it's good enough for me! I wanted to order another 1 or 2, but since I'm going on vacation end of next week I'm not sure to be home when the box arrives. So it will wait until end of August!

Great neo! I love these as they look nice in and out of bloom, when they do bloom, they are fragrant, and they don't take up too much space. Perfect! I'm glad you get to enjoy the lovely scent!

Beautiful! I have noticed the Neo spikes seem to buck the trend of orchid spikes being slow  |

Beautiful plant and photo. I bought my first neo this year too and then got another. I think they're addictive.

Thanks
Yes, they're an addiction within the orchid addiction! The only trouble with it is that the blooms only last a few weeks. At least it was the case with this one, I don't know how long them bloom normally. I miss the fragrance already!
