Let me know how that works out for you, Matt. I can predict with 100% accuracy the actual outcome, but best you learn it yourself.

Yes, I know but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Here is my Akebono "Dawn"

How do people post two photos on one thread? Here is another view of this Akebono "Dawn". This plant is in a smaller net pot, but it is one of the larger Neofinetias I own.

I never really try posting photos directly here. I prefer to put 'em up on my flickr and then just use the BBcode from there to post the largest size here.

Now that I see your Akebono, I wish I had gone for one of those, rather than Hokage, for redish foliage.

I forget that you work overnight. When I see your photos, I get shunted to Flickr. I do not have an account with any apps like Flickr. I do have an account with Zenfolio, where I put files for view and purchase for some photography clients. I can email links to the website, i wonder how i can post pics to this website from Zenfolio? This is a casual business for me but at the rate I'm buying Neos, I really should accept more photo gigs. I actually turned down a couple of weddings in June.

The photo of my Akebono was taken using my iPad. So I must say this not a good representation of he plant or my ability to take photos!

I'm going to check into Flickr. A lot of people seem to be on Flickr.

GREAT NEWS!!! I got my New World Orchids that I ordered 06/29. It was supposed to be delivered 07/03 by the post office but naturally, I got a slip from USPS telling me to pick it up. So before work I went to my post office and picked up the box of Neofinetias!

Here is what came in the box (photos or photo link of these plants will be posted later):

1. Homeiden. One Very small growth tiny plant.



2. Benisuzume. Two growth lovely green plant IN SPIKE! (little purple flower buds)



3. Shisen Furan (from China--thought to be richardsiana), two growths



4. Amonogawa. Two growth large leaves. IN BLOOM!



5. Higashidemiyako. Four growth, large tiger leaves with white margins and on some leaves, the end of the leaves are a lovely reddish, dappled stripe. IN BUD!



This is what I ordered. BUT WAIT! There's more!

I got a sixth plant!!!! Yasuri Takuma: One large growth with two babies IN BLOOM!



Hopefully, I'll be able to keep these plants growing and blooming. Here is a group shot:


I was already impressed by how responsive Dr. Glenn is with this order. He mailed these plants to me BEFORE I even sent my payment. The box was well packed. On the top of all the plants, he enclosed a little banner wall hanging of Mt. Fugi. This is the second little wall hanging. And when I unpacked the box, this wonderful surprise.

I do believe in Santa Claus, I do believe in Santa Claus!

THANK YOU DR. GLENN LEHR!

When I got home today, I got a small box from Seed Engei. Enclosed were two beautiful and lovely plants. Here is my Fuji-Nishiki "Fuji Bicycle"
