I don't have the other two but I have a order coming in Thursday from Jason and I went on and ordered that lighted stand. Sorry Bob, my husband is giving it to me for my BD gift I am not turning that down

eBay is turning into a dangerous site for us it is hard to resist these healthy Neos. I need to put some pots on eBay to fund my Neo habit....no joke!

I'd be a Ginger-Pot buyer if they were available. I would have paid for my pot (I hope you know that)--it has great value because it was a gift.

I have cruised around eBay looking for pots like you & Ryan show off on this board, and the only ones available are just too plain. But then if you go to places like NWO or Seed-Engai's internet website, you cannot buy a pot for less than $50? That is a plant!

I am concentrating on getting all of my plants ready for Winter--this morning, I woke up and there was a sense of pending cold weather in the breeze. So now my focus is getting everyone in good shape, in better pots and fresher mounds.

I'm not going to acquire any more Neofinetia. I'm not going to acquire any more Neofinetia. I'm not, I am really not! LOL

I would pay for some blank pots, as I want to paint them myself. I want a pot with koi fish!

I enjoy making pots but have no time to do many. The next pot I plan to make will be a sh/Japanese hybrid.

The one I got was unglazed clay, the color was similar to terracotta.

OMG Jayfar! You cannot ever state that if you have seen a Neofinetia, you have seen them all--since they are each one so unique. However, I do observe that some of these plants in this round are starting to look very similar to other plants except for the name. Some of these names are unique, for the longest time, I've seen Manjushage plants listed or Shutennou or Kibata...this one for example: HIGUMA-NISHIKI 羆錦. Satomi's description alludes to a similarity "Looks similar to RENJOUMARU, will get larger but leaves are thick and wide. New leaves come up with white marginal stripe and become cream yellow stripe as it gets old. Very appreciable when it gets big enough." It is one of the more expensive plants.

To me it looks like my Higashidemiyako 東出都 "East Side of Kyoto"

Yep, but I suppose subtle differences are everything in the fukiran world.

That said, this latest batch has some really good-looking plants in terms of nice leaves without major blemishes.

I'll be tempted Saturday night, but will probably abstain. I also see Orchids Ltd. has added a couple more to their 'buy it now' selection on ebay. I'm pretty content with where my collection stands, with a good representative sampling of various types, but I'm sure I'll stumble across something else I must have.

My focus now is getting as much growth as possible in the remaining warm days and setting up a proper space for the impending winter rest. My GF has a tendency to turn up the thermostat, so I need to make an enclosure about 36" wide to fit in one of my 2 south-facing windows.
