Got it for 79.90, well below my max. Also picked up itty bitty bean leaf OTOMEMARU for 95, hoping I manage to bloom it someday. Really unique flower.

Now I just gotta figure how to submit my payments for the combined shipping. I don't usually get two at a time.

You should get an invoice with the shipping costs consolidated.
Nice haul.

Oh! I think I love that little guy!! I so desperately want a minmaru-shima. There is something about those varigated round leaves that I love. The flower is adorable like the one yours will produce! Congrats!

Den. moniliforme are as cute and as addictive as Neos. Congrats on your haul, Jay. Sadly the link to your Otomemaru no longer shows the plant.

Thanks! Hmmm, the link still works for me even after signing out of ebay. You may have to scroll down. It's a really small bean leaf, total leafspan less than an inch.

I haven't seen one in person and I only see pictures of the foliage and no flowers. Admittedly I haven't been looking for these particular plants. Whomever won these plants I guess paid a little bit more than the going price at NWO. Do you have these plants rangiku? Is there culture similar to Neos? I might just buy a couple of these just to learn more about them.

Congratulations Jayfar. I hope you remember a year from now, or when they come into bloom, you post pictures. It was interesting to see the bidding process.

As brn_thums said, Satomi sends you one invoice and you'll get one shipping charge. I made a mistake a long time ago and paid each one individually when I won a bid and was billed a separate shipping charge. Now I wait for an invoice from the vendor before paying. Satomi generates these invoices quickly!

I think I have around 20 Den. moniliforme. They are quite similar to Neos with the only difference of maybe a bit higher light and they must dry or completely after watering. I have both flower and leaf types. I'll see if I can find some good flower photos for you. I also have a few in bud at the moment.

You are wonderful coffeecup! Thanks again for your onsite reporting.

Sadly I only have 9 Den. moniliforme. I need to catch up to coffecup!

Here is Den. moniliforme 'Koganemaru' which has nice lime variegation on its leaves (but not shown here)

I see it now, Jay. It's adorable. Love the purple picotee around the flower.
