Neofinetia Falcata

It's been open for some time now and the tiny little flowers smell so good all day but especially stronger at night.

The flowers are actually tinted pink toward the tip of petals.

Four spikes with four to five flowers on each spike.
Two more spikes are emerging on the largest plant.

Gratz on the blooms NYC. I'll chime in on the cool winter requirement. I picked up a neo at the end of blooming last September. I had it indoors since I got it, only sticking it in the back yard a month ago. We have a toddler so we kept the house pretty warm this past winter. Unfortunately my phals didn't bloom but my neo now has 4 or 5 total spikes on two of the three fans.

Now that I've researched these more, I'm thinking it'll remain outdoors year round (except while blooming so we can enjoy the beauty and fragrance). In my limited experience, the cold winter isn't necessary to induce flowering.

Thank you for the info.
By the way, are all neos pretty much take the same care or are there some that do need "cold" winter rest to bloom?
I need to know this before I start buying more of these plants.

Is it unusual that neos are fragrant during the day time??

Mine is indeed fragrant all day and all night. the intensity is much stronger at night.

Maybe its fragrance emitting gene is messed up, which is a bonus for me.

Thank you, everyone!

I only hope that I can enjoy this again next year.
will see.

Here are some more pictures taken today.

The pink tip of the flowers do not really show at all in the pictures.

Usually, Neos are fragrant from late afternoon/dusk and at night.
