2013 Blooms

[Call_Me_Bob]

I got it a few years ago as a keiki from someone here on OB for winning an article contest. It is 'Too blue' x 'Three Times A Lady' I liked it so much and am using it in my breeding, so I gave it the clonal name 'Chipi San' after my mom. This one is actually starting a keiki

I have a handful of Neos finally forming spikes and are actively putting energy into growing them out.

Here's my gojo-fukurin developing buds. Here

My Shutennou from NWO has a spike forming. I see spikes coming from my Byakko and Amami. My manjushage's spike is finally actively growing as well. I'm very excited to see my manjushage bloom. I got it from seed-engei and she told me it will bloom true. I'm hoping it's true (Kinda nervous). I paid too much $ for it not to!

I'm all about the leaves now. The blooms mostly look alike to me. I have a spike on my vigorous Amami along with the ones that I acquired a couple of weeks ago. Here is the first of them to bloom.

In the future maybe! It's super tiny right now, it will grow faster once I put them outside though!

I showed all of your awesome pics to my plabts, and the small dormant spike on my 'Hisui' decided to grow and ince and put out buds over night! WOHOO

Where did you get the pot in the first picture?
It is so nice!!!!

I like the second plant. I mean they are all small, but that one looks the smallest, yet flowers on it.

I bought my first neo last month, which is mounted. Probably not the best way to grow for me. lol
Anyways, it has so many growsth, like 10! but never flowered before. it is a regular neo.
strange...

By the way, is there a reason why the moss is piled up to high on the tiny pot like that? just a tradition in Japan?

Yup, its the traditional method. A lot of Ryan's pots are handmade by himself.
