This Neofinetia falcata Daiseikai 大聖海 was purchased on 01/14/14. Here is how it looked from Seed Engei.

It is a very healthy plant. As January rolled into February, it basically sat there taking up space. But as March rolled in, the roots started displaying color and elongating. Mid-March, I started breaking the minimal water rule and drenching the plants in water. I was examining my plants and came across this Daiseikai 大聖海, it had two bloom spikes.

Thank you Sonya. I hope I don't blast these buds with undue attention!

I know...is it possible to be superstitious when growing Neofinetia? That is probably par for the course of collecting Neos!

Wow great growing it is very happy with you. Keep the pic of it's progress coming.

Thanks Ginger, I certainly will keep track of the progress this plant makes.

Real nice, but I think you twisted the name in the photos in the latest post.

Daiseikai is what it was in thread title.

FWIW, you do also possess an actual Daiseiryu leading off your "Contorted and Twisted Neofinetia falcata" thread:

UPDATE: Matt has corrected the post.
