Neostylis Blue Horizon or Dark Pink?
Hello, I'm not exactly new to Orchid Board because I've been browsing and learning a great deal from all of you here. A little background, I started my collection late last year and I think I've got my soul orchids: neofinetia. I currently have four neos, one of which is a regular one and of course that one grows the best and has three growths. I also love vandas but they are too big and bay area is just too cold and dry.
Long story short, recently I've really been wanting to get these three orchids: vanda pachara delight or tokyo blue, vandachostylis colmarie, and neostylis lou sneary blue bird. They are rather difficult to find and pricey, so I'm considering the following candidate: neostylis lou sneary "blue horizon" or neostylis pinkydark. (Pictures are from flickr and seagrove) I want to pick them up as well as a couple more neofinetias at the San Jose Orchid Exposition next month. I want to get a vote on which one YOU want to get. Don't tell me to get both because I'm already thinking about it but I also want to pick up two neos!
Hope to see some of you in San Jose in June!

I love them both but if I had to pick I would go with the blue. But then again I'd probably get both

I would get the Pinky(dark). You can always get a blue Neostylis--they seem to be more prevalent. The Pinky--not so much. I have both.

How dark is the pinky? Is it almost black much like a vandachostylis colmarie?

These plants can get darker dependent on their culture. Pinky is usually spotted pink and not the solid red color you pictured.
