Coffeecup!!!! Oh well--you got to do what you gotta do! I have a Jitsugekkou, I don't have a Jukai, I don't think I want one. But good luck to you. I hope you get it real cheap. |

Its a good thing some of you helped me to make more room!  I have passed up many Jitsugekkous since they haven't had very nice variegation. This one, though only one growth is the best I've seen so far.

I am almost certain its amabilis. When I saw Satomi in July, she had a ton of these and the 'Gold Coin' ones, which are more yellow centrally in the leaves. |

I actually had my eye on those two when they were first posted, but looking around me I don't really need them, so I'll defer to you on these. Just make sure you win both. 
Really trying not to buy any more till next Spring. |

I'm saving my money to go to Tokyo Dome in February 2014. Perhaps I will buy my three Neofinetia falcata: Manjushage, Fukiden, and Mangetsu in Japan! |

Do you know how many Neos you can buy for the price of airfare to Tokyo?
Okay, not the most expensive ones but plenty of others!

Acquiring Neofinetias Via EBay
OH NO oh no!!! I was just watching the auctions and noticed there were several okay looking plants for very inexpensive listing and I bid on them thinking someone will surely outbid me.
Did I get out bidded? NO!
I have just now bought not one, not two, not three, BUT FOUR Neofinetia. I really am flabbergasted, flummoxed, and incredulous that I won any of these plants. How is that when I actually want a plant I get outbid?
I guess I'm not doing a very good job saving money....

I had just logged in at work and I tried to bid on the Chouseiden in the last 30 seconds, but the corp firewall on my vm session slowed down my browser just enough to keep my bid from getting in. 
Someone snagged a 3 growth Setsuzan for just 19.99; lucky them (I already have one, so didn't bid). A 2 growth Houmeiden listed at 45 didn't get any bids.
I see it appears coffeecup got her Jitsugekko, but not the Jukai.

...he acts like he's shocked and amazed but we all know deep down inside his inner orchid geek just got his fix.
I missed out on the seig sed. I got the minmaru, not that I need another to kill. But this time I will not be loving it. Dr Glenn told me my love has killed my other seds. Lol

Good for you! And at a reasonable price too. I see Matt tried for that one as well.
You do know there's a minimaru shima listed for Friday nite? Oh wait, I see you already said you won't be bidding on that one.
I'm the luckiest one - I didn't win any (yet) this week.
