Pics of my Neo Collection on Flickr

I spent much of the afternoon taking pics of my collection of Neos. I have been collecting for about two years and have learned much about Neos during that time. Here is the link:

Awww thanks I love the pots as much as the plants. I think about taking a pottery making class to cut down on the cost. We'll see The Hokage is my fav because of those roots.

Thank you all for the kind words I know it is a simple collection compaired to yours. Isn't it a joy to care for them and see them thrive. Neos are so varied and the size makes them perfect when you don't have much growing space.

It is a space issue for me as well. I have around 15 or so Neos and they take up as much space as two of my standard Cattleyas or one of my long, tall Vanda coeruleas. Plus they are more interesting to admire when not in bloom!

Exactly, I had a variety of species all over the house and spent so much time caring for them and they didn't thrive because the light or temperature was wrong for them. As you mentioned the foliage of most orchids is not attractive. It is just the opposite with Neos I love them all year long; the bloom is just an extra treat. I will only grow Neos now and will try to limit the number to what fits in the growing area. Lol, notice I said try!

You guys should look into growing a bellina... if grown well, they grow the most beautifully round leaves ever... making them amazing to look at all year long.
