For Europeans it has been very hard to get Fuukirans in the past: the only occasions to buy was when New World Orchids did a trip to Europe.
This summer, a friend of mine pointed me to Green-Pottery, a specialist in Japanese orchids located in Kingston, UK.
The plants from Eun have been of good size, excellen quality, excellent price and always turned out to be exactly as labelled. Eun does not have a huge stock, but it changes frequently.
I have come across that ebayer before, and they frequently have some nice neos for sale. I never bought any from them since I was struggling to rebloom the 2 Neos I did have.

They come highly recommended over here as Lars as said and all the photos I have seen of the plants that they have sent out have been of plants of excellent quality.
Well worth the price imo.
Would anyone be willing to help me get a neo from this seller? I live in the states, and they don't have the necessary certificates to ship them here. Or perhaps we could figure out the Japanese equivalent of the Korean names.
Why do you want to buy Neos in Europe when there are several good growers with extensive catalogues in the USA? It's a heck of a lot of paperwork which is a headache to obtain. If you're looking for something specific that only the UK grower has, you can always ask Glenn from New World Orchids if he can pick one up for you on his yearly buying trip to Japan.

Yeah, I was looking at something specific. I did contact the seller, though, and just got an email back about which specimens could have been used to create it, since I haven't seen this variety anywhere on the web. Now I'm trying to figure out what the Japanese equivalents are based on the pictures. Looks like I'll be doing some breeding in the future, haha. I've also emailed Glenn, but no reply yet.
