Neofinetia falcata unknown form
 

Here is my first blooming Neo, bought last year in a garden store (with a dry spike) and with no form name, just N.falcata
The surprise came when the buds developed a pink spur :D and peduncle. The rest of the flower is white. (It seems to correspond to the Tougen form, according to the thread about flower colors)

The plant is growing in semi hydro since last year, and grew a lot of leaves and roots. Hopefully next blooming will be more numerous, because the smell is already so great with just 3 flowers !!!

Thanks for looking

Nice flower. Congrats!

Congrats on the rebloom! I love Neo's!!

Really nice!

Congrats on the flowers! Three flowers can almost fill a whole room with their scent when it gets dark. :)

Very very nice! I too have a Neo Falcata..? It's just started to spike a month and a half ago and still small...I just hope I get to see the full bloom as will be away in december.. :crossfing

Pretty blooms. It's nice to see the progress of those growing these in S/H or any other non traditional way. I'm glad it's doing well for you. Thanks for posting.

Yours will bloom way before Dec. I'm thinking more like by the end of the month quite possibly before that. They're summer blooming.

You're right, nice fragrance (like jasmine). I didn't realize they put out their perfume at night. I should've put two and two together since they're most likely moth pollinated due to their long spur and them being white. Here I was thinking they were fragrant during the day and pollinated by butterflies. :dumb:

They do kinda leak the fragrance a bit during the day though from what I've smelled. It's so faint in the day, you think you're out of your mind and imagining the fragrance.

Cool, you have the same type I have. Nice. :llama:
