I talked to Glenn about these two, before ordering, and he said they were both the same. So to my knowledge, they're the same with different names. But you're right, if they truly are different then... looks like I'm getting myself an expensive bday present :-) :rofl:

So? Did you get it? Making us wait like this....not cool. :biggrin:

Full bloom Manjushage. I've been procrastinating on taking a picture and today, I was finally able to sneak in 5 minutes to snap a pic. Which is a good thing, because knowing me, I'd have procrastinated to the point where the flowers are close, if not already, wilting.
Enjoy!

I did not get hanakanzashi yet. I need to verify that information first. :rofl:

I'm on the fence right now between getting a new Neofinetia (or neo related) item or a new bird to add to my flock.
:rofl:

Gorgeous Manjushage!! Top of my wish list!!!

Bird? What kind of bird? I love birds. Don't have any unless you count those girls out in my coop birds (chickens). They act like they're less bird and more human.

I have chickens too! But the birds I wanted are some gouldian finches. Blueback males to be exact. Black head, purple breast, blue backs.
I originally had one but it's a female. I bought three babies (unsexed) of the same color pattern, hoping to get a male. I am concluding this week that they're all females. So now I have four females and no males. I can either treat myself to a new male or two OR get some more neofinetias. No new neos have caught my eye though. So I'm leaning towards the birds right now.

I must've missed this post too! Lovely display of flowers on your Red Spider Lily, Jeremiah.

I have chickens too, I love 'em! They are like orchids, I just want one of each kind!

Yeah chickens can be addictive. I have buff orpingtons and I love them. They have such personalities. Good thing for them I'm a vegetarian. They lay better eggs all relaxed knowing they won't be eaten. Lol

Gorgeous flowers!
