Acquiring Neofinetias Via EBay

[MattWoelfsen]

The Akebono and the Shirogane-botan are very attractive to me.

Thanks! The last minute bidding was a little frantic on some of these plants, but using my strategy of go late and go big, I got both that I bid for. And being in near-instant gratification frame of mind, I upgraded the shipping to One-day Express.

Anyone else here participate in the auctions for this batch of Neos?

[MattWoelfsen]

I was going to bid on two plants, but I spaced out and was doing something else until it was too late. Have you noticed that when Seed Engei isn't auctioning plants and other vendors step in, the prices they get is astronomical?

[MattWoelfsen]

Is it me or has it been awhile since Seed Engei had any auctions? I notice there are now more BIN plants from Orchids Limited.

S E is at the Redland Show in FL this weekend. Maybe they'll have some after that.

I guess when you are (literally) the sole proprietor it makes difficult to keep up with business on all fronts! I figured that was the case, thanks for the confirmation, Jayfar.

The Redlands show must be a super show to draw so many vendors down to Florida...I have been enjoying all of Naoki's pictures on Facebook.

Of course the downside, as mentioned in forums by folks who have attended, is the typical hot humid weather and pesky flying insects that like to bite. Looks like 80F at the moment there, with 80% RH, going up to 87F this afternoon.

I hope Satomi didn't pass out from the heat as her eBay site has been very quiet!

One of these days, there will be a show that I'll attend and Seed Engeil will be there. I was all set to go to SEPOS when you announced that Seed Engei was not going to be present.

She or her sister should be here (San Jose) in a couple of weeks then again in late July (San Francisco). Didn't she just do Redlands? Probably just busy juggling shows and shipments.

You're like a junkie looking for a fix!
