This list of seven plants include one Phalaenopsis amabilis, and six Neos. Three of these plants are starting out at $99: MANJUSHAGE 曼珠沙華, RAIKOUMARU 雷紅丸, and KOUKAKUDEN-紅嚇殿. From these plants' description, they are either highly desired (like the MANJUSHAGE), popular in Japan--therefore should be popular here(!), and have unusual flowers and desirable roots or leaves. There are less expensive plants and their accompanying photos are lovely. In past auctions, other Manjushage plants have gone for over $145, I wonder how these three will fare?

I noticed ebay tweaked their interface for enlarged views of images too. Ooh, and Manjushage has a 3rd spike just starting. That's a good thing, since the blooms you see now will be on the way out by the time the plant reaches its new home.
Hmm, I see on the spike with a single bud, one of the spurs is full length, but the other 2 are still very short. Is that normal, will the other 2 spurs elongate before the flower opens?
