List of mutations in Neofinetia-with pictures

[Call_Me_Bob]

Because of the old thread about mutations I found, I decided to do some research and see if I could find out which morphs are which.

Here's what I've found if anyone knows of others or has pictures, please post!

Miyakohabutae to Mihata
-Large variety which has upright foliages.
Very wide foliages are also appreciable. When MIYAKOHABUTAE mutate to FUKURIN variegation, it would be called as MIHATA.
(from Seed-Engei)

Amami to Misukage
-The true variegated form is a 2-tone green. These plants for sale are a lime-green foliage type like the growths on the front of the plant pictured. This is a mutation from an Amami form, making it large-leaved (and I assume adding the variegation). 'Misukage' translates to 'Shadow of a bamboo blind'. Not common in the trade.

Kenkokuden to Higuma Fukurin
-KENKOKUDEN is old variety which produce SUMI(black spotted line on the back of leaves). And sometimes stripe would appear too. When the leaves produce beautiful stripe and tiger stripe, it become very rare and honored, high-class variety called HIGUMA FUKURIN. It is very small chance to mutate. And HIGUMA FUKURIN has very few availability even in Japan because they grow very slow and hard to grow, yet very popular. When Kenkokuden gets Sumi or stripe, it would be more valuable. There is ones doesn't have either of them. (from SE)

Nishidemiyako to Manazura or Ginsekai
-Manazarua is when marginal variegation on Nishidemiyako morphs into a center stripe with green on the edges.

Nishidemiyako (my own photo. This same plant is now showing signs of mutating to Manazaru on one of the new fans!)

Ginsekai is a Mutation from NISHIDEMIYAKO. Compared to mother plant, NISHIDEMIYAKO, they are smaller and leaves are upright. All of marginal stripe variety can not be propagated true by seedling (variegation will not be produced in second generation so propagate only by division) and it is small chance to mutate to Ginsekai foam. Therefore they are valuable and always popular. One of most popular mutation variety from NISHIDEMIYAKO. (from SE)

Gojofukurin to Gekkeikan to Tenkei
-couldn't find much on this. From SE -->
GEKKEIKAN is variety between TENKEI-FUKURIN (yellow fukurin) and GOJO-FUKURIN (white fukurin). It apparently is the stage of mutation for GOJO-FUKURIN to TENKEI-FUKURIN. Bottom leaves have yellow fukurin like TENKEI and top leaves come out with white fukurin like Gojo. Sometimes it is very hard to distinguish but very interesting and exciting to see them mutating. Wish to be TENKEI-FUKURIN!

Ooemarunoshima to Mikado
-When Ooemarunoshima mutates from marginal stripe to center stripe with green on the edges.

Ooemarunoshima
-Can't find a photo anywhere. If you have one, please post it!

Mikado (from Neofinetia falcata var. Mikado - Orchid Forum by The Orchid Source )


Toyoden to Akebono
-mutation from TOYODEN(stripe variety).
Usually inner stripe variety has green base with narrow yellow stripe but akebono's stripe is very wide and transparent. (from SE)

Toyoden
-I can't find a photo of this one anywhere either. If anyone has a photo, please post it!

Higashidemiyako to Kotofukurin
-When stripe of HIGASHIDEMIYAKO changes to yellow color from white, it is called as KOTOFUKURIN. (From SE)
