Orchids in Bloom: Neofinetia falcata 'Gojyo Fukurin'

beautiful!

Wow, what great photos. I'm often not so keen on pictures of Neos but as ever your pictures make it look fantastic. Maybe I'll have to put these back on the list to get one day :)

Excellent photos!!
I have not been able to take photos like this of my standard falcata.
Rosie; I am sure you c

Love it! I just bought another two neos. :whew

Thanks, Kelo, Nenella, Rosie and WhiteRabbit for looking and commenting. It is much appreciated.

I've only recently started growing Neos again and have some questions:

(1) Flowering times seem to be rather unpredictable - is this actually the case or do they need to adjust before flowering times are more regular.

(2) The previous question has to do with winter rest - I gave them a rest last winter and one flowered in the spring, but several are flowering now. Is this normal?

(3) Are the variegated varieties and their variegations affected by light intensity and should they have a bit lower light than the non-variegated varieties?

(4) After a winter rest should light intensity be increased as well as water and fertilizer?
