I saw that one, picked it up, put it back down, picked it up again, put it back down again. I'm not comfortable with less than 50% green.

I was there Friday afternoon and it wasn't crowded as Friday last year (25% less?) or Saturdays on previous years, had great parking in Ft. Mason (many spots very close to the building) no circling the lot. Less vendors, too. A little concerned about that.

I understand how you feel about the health of this plant's future, being so yellow. It was a fully green plant attached to it. So I'm planning on keeping them together in order for the non variegated one to act as a host. Haha. I also spotted a small Yamato-nishiki sprouting out. It's tiny but definitely there. Which is why I decided to purchase it :). Super cute.

The parking was slightly easier this year. I hope next year gets better.

The expo was amazing, although I feel as if the selection this year was not as great. Perhaps I went too late, as I did arrive on Saturday and apparently Friday was the busiest and best day to go.
It was great seeing Satomi and Coffeecup!
Yeah I didn't go until today :(
BUT there were a lot of plants that were 50% off :)

Nice pick-up and a new one to add to my ever growing want list...

Okay brianwstephens and bk10, if you have a collection of Neofinetia you MUST share! New thread of your own with lots of pictures! LOL!

Okay Matt. I hear you. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

A cautionary tale about that: Make sure you remove any soap bars from the path of the shower.

Apparently a bar of Irish Spring Icy Blast on the shower shelf, which a little of the shower stream was running across, poisoned 4 of my Neos to varying degrees. By the next day, leaves turned an ugly drab olive shade and some newer roots completely shriveled (and blackened at the tips). I realized later that the affected plants were the ones that would have been nearest the front of the tub, right under the shower shelf.

Oh that is terrible so sorry; we really have to protect our babies. I have a bar of Dial dangerously close to my Neos watering sink I will get it out of the way ASAP. Thanks for letting us know the danger of soap...I had no idea.

OMG! Jayfar, not any of your highly prized Neos? I hope not. I would turn olive brown and die, if that happened to ANY of my Neos. Fortunately, the only time I had a problem, it was with my Yasura Takuma, which I posted about in August 2013. But New World Orchids replaced it.

I would stop using that soap on myself, if I were you!
