Default Neofinitea falcata "Tokunoshima"

This is a great little plant I picked up at the WOC in Fl.
The first time it bloomed not much, this time it's awesome, I wasn't sure how I would photograph it, but my wife went shopping, the dog is asleep, everything is watered, so I grabbed my camera a beer and this is what I got. ENJOY....... Jim.

Very nice, are they all on one spike or is there two spike's. The fragrance must be out of this world.

Jim, your photography is always excellent. That plant is gorgeous, but what are using as a medium? It almost looks like a big hunk of osmunda?????

That is a beautiful bloom, and I love the pot. It is the perfect choice for that plant, is it handmade? I have just ordered 2 Neofinetia. Hopefully I can keep them alive, I don't dare hope for blooms like yours.

What medium are you using?

Thanks for the nice compliments, the plant is growing in moss, has 2 spikes 16 blooms, fragrance is there but not to strong and the pot I have no idea what it's for it has a lid so I don't think it's for flowers, I got it from Goodwill or Salvation Army for about a $1 and thought this plant would look good in it, and it does.....Jim.

Did you say that pot came with a lid? I wonder if it originally was a garlic keeper.

Beautiful! It's it nice to find orchid pots where you least expect them!
