Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Blue Bird'

[MattWoelfsen]

This plant came from Hausermann Orchids, Villa Park, Illinois. If I didn't know better, when I unwrapped it from its shipment, it looked like an overgrown Neofinetia. Two weeks ago, it started producing two little buds. The left side of the bud, took off and now it is this size, the flower buds look like Neofinetia. The right side bud, I'm hoping will continue to develop.



So that you have any idea of how big this plant is, here is a picture of my Neofinetia falcata Hisui 翡翠 "Jade". If I did not have the Neostylis in comparison to Hsui, I would say, the Hsui was a large plant.



Looking on with much stoicism are the flowers of my NOID Phalaenopsis. These flowers are on a weird stem that grew from beneath the plant, worked its way around the plant stem. These flowers bloomed out in May! It has also grown a huge amount of roots and two very large leaves.
