So this is the first and only pure Neo that I have and I finally got it to bloom! I bought it mounted on a stick and my conditions are just too dry for it, so it didn't really grow for a year or two. I took the whole thing and tossed it in some spag and this year I got new, non-stunted growths and a modest bloom. I had forgotten how AMAZING these guys smell!!! This orchid definitely has the best scent of any orchid.
As for the pics, they aren't great because I used natural light and even around sunset, the glare coming off of the pure white flowers was tough to deal with. I think I just have to play with the settings on my camera to overcome this. Any advice from the Neo experts is definitely welcome!
