FtW Windowsill Neo Collection :)

[Alla]

Here is my collection for your ( hopefully) enjoyment

My Amani has a yellow flower and a white flower on a same spike. Somehow I find it odd.

So here is a list:
Amani in bloom
Amani potted
Furan #1
Furan #2
Kisuzume (yellow bloom)
Kogane Nishiki (yellow tiger stripe)
Manjushage ( 3 spur)
Nishidemiyako ( marginal stripe)
Seirujishi ( needle leaf)
Senzai ( bean leaf)

Post #2 coming, it doesnt let me attach any more pictures to this one..

[Alla]

4 more:

Shisen ( collected in China)
Shutenno ( pink flowers)
Soubiryu ( 2 spur)
Suikaden ( white flowers with green tips)

Sorry for the crappy sort of pictures, I will get some black fabric next time. I tried various locations and the wall seemed to do the best.

Cheers

Very nice well rounded collection. Your Kogane Shiniski has beautiful coloring and I have never seen ruby roots on a Shutenno really nice. Your mounted Neos are really happy. My collection is lacking a Senzai...love yours. Thanks for sharing .

Wow! Great collection!!!! Thank you for sharing.

Nice collection! And don't worry, your photos are fine! I have to say, that Kogane Nishiki really steals the show!!

Thank you for the kind words I love neos, shutenno is in spike , I will add a picture once it blooms. Shishen, the Chinese one, looks a bit beat up but very dear to me- I practice Kung fu and it is so awesome to have a live piece of China at home
Most of these came from Glenn from NWO, he is such a pleasure to deal with, can't say enough thank yous to him. I got 3 from seed engei via eBay - those auctions are so hard to win.. Senzai came from Jeremiah Chua at the excellent price - he is here on the board and I believe he might still have a senzai or two to part with. Amani is from Hausermann- it is blooming second time since last fall.

That's the one plant I have in common with your collection; mine has a short spike.

I know. I think maybe you beat me out of at least one of them. Is your NISHIDEMIYAKO from ebay last weekend? Were you bidding on the KIRINMARU bean leaf? I got that one and it was the one I really wanted (since I didn't have a bean leaf).
I don't ebay very much at all, but the one thing I've picked up on is that the last minute of an auction is brutal.

Jayfar, I got it from eBay last Thursday and I stopped bidding after I won as that was all the money I had to spend on plants lol even with the auction it wasn't cheap heh but I had not have a striped one so I was bidding like no tomorrow. Sorry if I outbid you but I really wanted it

Haha, yep that was me, but I only *really* wanted the bean leaf anyway. I dropped out of the NISHIDEMIYAKO auction at $30, but I had my max bid at 90 for the KIRINMARU (got it for 57.21).

I thank you for helping me stay within my budget.

Yellow flower opened few days prior to white one and was mostly white at first with some light purply and then went all yellow but looks healthy..

Weird...but hey, you never know what these chids are up to!
