Possibly. You're user name seems very familiar. Lokely from when there was a smattering of people in the orchid board chat. I had a bunch of paph and phals back then as well. Sadly all of those plants are gone. I took those neos and all of my paphs out of s/h eventually. They didn't do well long term in s/h. However, I can't point to s/h culture on their demise. They're demise came from lack of light and attention due to a hectic work schedule for a time span of approximately three years.

That work schedule is slightly tapering off so. I have little more time on my hands now. I restarted the hobby again about 2 months ago.

Edit : time warp. Yes I am that Marco I do remember now you were one of the few neo nuts back then on this board. The following seems to have grown significantly since.

Troy Meyers is the first one that comes to my mind. They do flasks and they do them well. Take a look. https://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/...asking_Program

You know the routine, post a picture of that pregnant Kinkabuto. Did you pollinate the flower with what other variety?

I have a Neofinetia hybrid that had four blooms. It was the only plant in bloom and it self polinated.

I forgot, you might contact Troy Myers.. https://lab.troymeyers.com/flasking/home.php

Beautiful plants Marco! Thank you for posting these plants. The non-Tsuke Neo is absolutely unique. I sent an email to Satomi and she said that was the only one she had.

Matt - Thanks. I couldn't say no to bidding on the plant, it is quite unique. I was fortunate to walk away with this one since it came down to the wire. Bidding ended 20:00:22 PDT and I slipped in a qualifying bid at 20:00:20 PDT. Although i will say the bidding on this one was fun!

Last night's auction was not as frantic as other auctions. I suppose there are some people who are celebrating the Labor Day Holiday? LOL!

I've kept my three Neo Samurais happy and growing for six months. Fell in love with the little guys slowly but surely.

'Accidentally' got on Ebay last night and it was last hour bids for Seed Engie's neos. Holly Molly! Never bid on anything past a goat before! (At a livestock auction, sit on your hands and don't sneeze.)

New to neofintetias, I was googling neos and prices as Hubby was keeping track of the bids on his laptop. When I decided which to go for, at what price, it was sit back and watch. Not! Was getting the vapors waiting for the final bids.

Pleased that we got two out of the three neos we bid on. Just have to wait til Wednesday for them to arrive.

A very satisfied neo lover...

Congratulations Yazz! Watching eBay auctions is entertaining--even more so when your bidding! You must photograph and then post on here so we can see what you won!

You really do get a sense of winning. and when the plants arrive they are worth it!
