As some of you may know, I lost a good number of neos last Fall when my plants were in the greenhouse. It was 80 something degrees in the afternoon and dipped down to 20's overnight. All the Sedireas were toast and the root systems of all my Cym goeringii turned to mush. Now I check the weather app on my phone 5 times a day.
Thankfully, the majority of my fuukiran plants lived to tell. My bunch is just starting to bloom now that we have consistently warm weather. Ryokouhu and Shachikouryu are first in line...
I've had Ryokouhu for several years and this is a first bloom for the plant. Hopefully, next season will give me more than one spike.
Shachikouryu is not for everyone. Only those who appreciate the bizarre and ugly. However, it's very unique in that each time it blooms, the flowers look different. Over the years, I've gotten all kinds of weird "flowers".
More to come later. Thanks for looking.
