Neofinetia falcata Shutennou

[K-Sci]

I bring this one into the house every night and put it on a coffee table so it can spread that wonderful scent throughout our great room.

The neofinetia below is the bean leaf variety Wonhyo, ( n Japan - Gangyō. Wonhyo is a really wonderful Korean creation. It's incredibly vigorous, likes to branch, starts a lot of new roots, and flowers freely. It is even more vigorous than two other strong fast growing and better known bean leaf varieties I also grow Yodo no Matsu and Tamakongō.

The leaves seem very resistant to spotting and it doesn't drop its bottom leaves until it gets very tall. It's always a nice dark green, slightly glossy, and it looks very healthy. In my opinion, it is a perfect beginners neofinetia. It isn't terribly common, but Orchids limited often has it for sale.

The flower presentation reminds me of fireworks, but more so in person.
