So I clicked on that link. OMG, you are a GREAT photographer and your NEOS are FANTASTIC. I think there is another Neofanatic named Jalajala? I wish I can remember her ID on this forum. I was so envious of her photography, wait...is that S. Kallima? Anyway, I just want to say, I'm so glad, You and Jalala post regularly on my neophyte pathetic newbie postings. And thank you for not thinking I'm such a total nut job!

Thanks, Matt. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos on my flickr set. Most of those in the set are older neo photos as I have not added any recent ones to it yet. I must say, you and Jayfar are some of the most thorough fuukiran researchers I've come across here in a while Nobody here thinks you are a nut job. I bet the growers who are NOT fuukiran fans, do believe we Neofanatics are ALL nut jobs for paying those prices on such little plants! Fine with me; I'm proud to be a Neo-nut-job. Also, there are no pathetic newbie postings here. Most of us started our collections with very small single growth plants (myself included) and they have grown nicely through the years with lots of patience and care. 5 years from now, you can look back at your little plants and be amazed how much they've changed. I think it's helpful for anyone who's grown these for several years to answer questions for the newbies, whether it be regarding culture or characteristics of different varieties. When I started, I had help regarding culture from the folks here but there was really nobody to ask questions to about varieties (other than my sensei).

Seed Engei is back in eBay! So far, 16 plants. At the top is MANJUSHAGE 曼珠沙華 for $99.99. There are four or five that looks interesting. Bid ends Monday July 15 around 10:30pm. Yikes!

The plants don't look so happy
On the other hand I got a bunch of plants directly from Satomi and they are beautiful!

I have passed stage A loooong ago !
B is never really an issue with Neos, just make shelves!
