The thing on her list that I've noticed is she'll list everything then say it's not available because she figures she might get a better price on eBay. but again, don't know for sure. Supposedly the aojiku form is a bit rarer than regular one, but to what I see in neo community I imagine is not the most sought after so idea was just to get a nice full specimen that I'd enjoy and happy it ended up available. Have to say that while still pricey, her prices seem pretty good when considering pricing elsewhere!
Your asahiden grows quickly? shows good variegation with your lights?

I have seen the Aojiku Fugaku in her eBay listings a few time recently. I’m sure I didn’t notice it in her email listings as I skip the larger varieties, quickly. There could be issues with Satomi’s buyers on her mailing list changing their minds after they have ask to purchase a plant. I know I have added to my orders a few times.
In my early days of purchasing from Satomi’s list I was unfamiliar with many plants therefore I would take the time to google search, often missing the plant altogether. I feel like her prices are very reasonable. I’ve purchased some of my biggest clumps for 50.00 and that’s a bargain in my book.
My Asahiden has grown well, faster than some others. It never did have strong variegation, not like your plant. I’ve searched here on the forum and there seem to be several plants with weak variegation. I recently replaced my t5 ho bulb so maybe that will help to increase the colors. I have a Byakko and a Kinroukaku on the same shelf with killer variegation so not sure about my Asahiden. I believe Orchid Web lists the light as medium to high. Love the color of yours!
