Neofinetia falcata Shutennou flowers

[Pattywack]

Neofinetia falcata Shutennou was one of my first Neos, Al talked me into it for the pink flowers. I was looking for bean leaf plants though I couldn't resist the idea of color.

I've had this plant since early December and it is flowering now with two spikes and ten total flowers. Fragrance is very nice, jasmine and maybe a bit of vanilla. This is such a common Neo, nothing new here but it is beautiful and I'm very happy I have it in my collection.

This is not all that "common" considering that so few people have Neos! This looks very nice and healthy. Congratulations Patty!

It's both beautiful and well grown. Nicely done!

Thank you for your comments, it really is a nice plant with awesome blooms. I only have one other Neo with pink flowers, Seikai, and it doesn't appear to be interested in blooming any time soon. It is growing so I'm happy. Maybe next year.

Charles, Jimmy Butler? Care to explain? This has got to be good!

Well to recognize them on an everyday basis until I can become familiar with their official Japanese names I give them titles that I am accustomed too, Butler= NBA player!
that all!
