No matter what you say even with the most genuine intention, you will always find someone who is offended by it, especially nowadays! We have to apologize for everything and nothing, there is no more room is our society for humor, it is sad...my apologies is I offend anyone with my opinion!

Yep, mine just arrived minutes ago and that's what I'm seeing too. On the underside just at the very edge, like a picotee on a flower, and a little more at the tip.

Fabulous. Close up pic please when you get a chance.

You must have a direct connection from San Diego to Philadelphia. When I get my order, it goes from San Diego to Indianapolis and then it is driven to fort Wayne.

Is your new acquisition as nice as described and pictured?

I understand Priority Mail tracking isn't always a complete reflection of the whole path, but mine always show Oceanside -> San Diego -> Philadelphia. I had this batch sent Priority Mail Express, so it took 1 day and is delivered before noon.

Very nice arrangement of growths and possibly 3 spikes starting (unless they're new growths instead, can't tell for sure).

That's the difficulty of growing neos...fans and spikes get nearly equal amount of excitement from me.

So your new Kinkujaku is NOT hiberating for the winter? This is interesting. I guess purveyors of fine Neofinetia orchids do not observe "winter rest"?

I am looking at the Neofinetia I got last week, and I did notice the roots appeared to have an active growth coloration. Whereas the plants that have been with me before Winter are not actively growing. This is a very interesting observation. Jayfar, are you going to let this one go onto winter rest?

You know, I'm ashamed to admit to laziness, but I still haven't got around to setting up a bright, cool, enclosed spot, so if they do get a winter rest, it will be a short one.

My hokage particularly has continued to put out new long pink-tipped roots, including one that runs straight up along the axis.

Ryan do you think that the white growth will survive? I have one that has just started on a Tiaga that is mostly white and I am a little concerned about it.Is there anything that can be done to make them produce a little bit of green?...Jean

The fan is growing very slowly as can be expected not only because it is nearly pure white but because the sister and mother fans are also pretty starkly variegated-- much more green but the variegation is very clearly defined. If the fan is never separated from the mother can, it'll live as a parasite to the mother fan but it can survive that way. However many neos will randomly separate from one another, which I suppose is a survival method. There are many instances of extremely variegated fans that are maintained on a group of plants so I'm hopeful it'll be just fine.

Dr. Glenn said that he saw a vendor in Japan pull a beautiful all yellow growth off of an expensive Neo and just toss it. He was astounded and appalled, but the grower said that without green, the growth wouldn't survive. *I* have two lines of reasoning to the contrary (no direct evidence, but here goes): (1) Just because there does not appear to be any green doesn't mean there are no chloroplasts. If there are chloroplasts, the growth can photosynthesize and survive. 2) Even if the growth doesn't have any chloroplasts, it is still attached to the rest of the plant and can be supported by photosynthate made there--kinda like a freeloading child I just couldn't bring myself to discard a seemingly healthy (and beautifully colored!) growth.
