I am not looking too much at your Neos but golly, I really like that Hisui. Because you linked your Fickr photos, I found another plant that hard as I tried could not see the name, would you indulge me and tell me its name?

Thanks Matt. The one on the left there is Fugaku, which means Mount Fuji. Shutennou is Red Emperor. Those are among a number of names listed on a page at the Fukiran Society of America site:
Fukiran Names - Fukiran Society of America
The kanji stuff I have no knowledge of. Seems to me there was a thread somewhere around here with some of those translations though.

Sneaky little devils, these fukiran. I just now noticed that the Suruga-fukurin has put out a second spike, already almost an inch high. This one is coming from the smaller growth. How did I not see that before?

Thanks Ginger, shared enthusiasm is a wonderful thing about this board.  As of this morning, 2 blooms opened on the Suruga Fukurin and just now I see one has opened on the Shutennou. Too soon to smell though. Super-high humidity here the last couple days has probably given them a boost. I'll take pics when more open.
Meanwhile, I've pulled the trigger on my orchidweb wishlist (shooting a hole in my wallet) and will be receiving, later this week:
Neofinetia falcata 'Kinkousei' 金光星 - 4~5 - NOT In-Spike
Neofinetia falcata 'Seiryujishi' - Blue Dragon Backbone Lion - 4~6 - NOT In-Spike
Plus I'm watching one in the current japaneseorchids ebay batch.

OMG, these are two plants on my wish list! I want Kirkousei due to its mottled leaf. And I want the Seiryujishi due to its description of being contorted leaves.

But, hey, great minds think alike. My idea in the early stages is to collect a diverse sampling of different leaf shapes and variegations. The only thing I'm not interested in is those with oddball flower mutation types. I've had a phobia of freaks since childhood for some reason.

Phobia of freaks? What an odd thing to say. Lol |

I snagged a Byakko finally. Paid too much for a single growth plant, but the variegation on this one is really nice. Plus it will be satisfying to watch it become a multi-growth plant over a period of years.
Neofinetiafalcata/beautiful tiger stripe/so beautiful!japaneseorchidｰBYAKKO 白虎
And according to my reverse engineering of the japaneseorchids bidding, I think that was you who got the bean leaf BENI-RYOKUHO-紅緑宝, right? Any others?
