Acquiring Neofinetias Via EBay

I would die if I saw a bunch of sedirea, both Chabo, shima or minmaru for 1-2 dollars per.

Look at this beauty I won from Orchids Limited I hope they post Neos again on eBay. As usual, it was packed with care the USPO left it hanging around an extra day at the local facility or on the truck as the tracking said yesterday that it was out for delivery. All is well though and I am smiling.

Yea! Congratulations Ginger. Beautiful plant.

That plant is nice. There are so many varieties/types to pick, I am slowly--slowly developing the few that I like...there are so many. What is the morada one on ebay? Out of curiosity, I was looking that one up and have found nothing on that variety--a hybrid cultivar? So far the few I have are looking good and growing new fans: Kisyu sekko, Oonamiseikai and a standard from Hausermans.

Hi syspila, I would consider the two plants on buy it now from Orchids Unlimited. They are both priced at $50 and they are unique leaf forms. I bought the Neofinetia falcata 'Shishikouryu' 獅子甲龍 directly from their online store. I was going to buy the other plant Neofinetia falcata 'Seiryujishi' 青竜獅子 5 growth<--because it is a five growth plant. Either plant will add variety to your growing collection.

Another vote for the Seiryujishi from orchids_limited. I have one of these already from their regular online catalog. It's a nice contorted needle leaf and its translated name is also delightfully contorted: Blue Dragon Backbone Lion.

There's also a smaller (1-growth) of these up for bid by speech1248 Sunday night.

So, just to be newsy, did anyone else here grab anything from the speech1248 ebay auctions that just ended?

I went for the Yoroi Doshi (11 growths and 2 spikes starting) on account of I needed a nice regular needle leaf for my collection. I see New World has these for $10 per growth, so I don't think I paid too too much.

Passed on everything else, except for a half-hearted too-low bid on an Amami Island type.

EDIT: speech1248 is very much on the ball with shipping. I received the USPS tracking number from this seller at 1:24 AM EDT, only 3 hours after the auction ended.

Congrats, Jayfar! I would love to see a pic of your neo when it arrives. Its how I live vicariously through you all!

Congrats Jay that is a beautiful plant I opted out this time but was tempted.
