I have seen a Shutenno in the Orchids Exhibition in Locarno, and WOW! that was a plant! (much better than any other Shutenno shown here)

so, for me Benisuzume is not in the top 5

(my personal opinion

)

Jeeez, Kavanaru, picky picky

Just kiddin', if you're looking for a darker pink one, you might like Beni-Tengu too, I think.

I have to agree that Shutenno is a pretty nice plant as well, and I've also read a couple of complaints that people haven't gotten the intensity of colour in Benisuzume that are often pictured. Having never seen either in flower in person, I can't really say which is better. So at this point, I can only say I'll have to get one of each.

Cheers.

Beni Tengu?... hhhmmm.. did not know that one, or you mean I should eat some Amanitas before looking at my Neos?

I currently have benisuzume and Shutenkaku, covering "the pink side of Neos" in my collection... Shutenkaku is newer and has not bloomed this year.. let's wait for next

The fungi: Japonsko - zemì vycházejícího slunce

The Neo: http://www9.plala.or.jp/tourokukikou.../benitengu.jpg

Ah yes, Amanita muscaria. A little of that and you'll be seeing purple, and orange, and blue Neo's too. Watch out for those bean leaf types though they'll jump out of their pots and chase you around trying to grab you with their tentacle-like roots. Bwahahahahah!

Cheers.
Jim

I'm sure eating mushrooms and smoking weed will help enhance the color.

Ramon, watch out for that phrag of yours, though. It might jump off the windowsill and come find you.

just imaging the situation: the police receive a phone call, because I am being chase by mine "octopus-like" bean-leaved Neofinetias and two mutant long-petalled Phragmipedium that look like a hybrid between Medusa and Cristina Aguilera

They will think we are repeating "the bicycle day" again. it will stay in history as "The Phragfinetia day!"

Let's see, I've got one friend growing magic mushrooms, another growing weed (perfectly legal) and I've got the Neos. Looks like I have everything! I'm sure I'll see colorful, flying and possibly man-eating Neos.

On a more serious note, anyone know where Shannan has gone too? She usually is around nearly every day, but I haven't seen her on OB in what seems like weeks . Hopefully she'll be back soon, she was supposed to send me a Neo!

Nice to know she's ok! I knew she was busyish, so didn't press it for the plants. I figured that as long as I get it before the cold weather arrives, it's fine. I'll PM her this weekend.
