Korean Neofinetia falcata Varieties

[alecStewart1]

Maybe it's because I don't go to the Korean side of the internet and can't even read Korean anyway if I did, but I was wondering about registered Korean varieties of Neofinetia falcata.

Looking around, I found this list from Reddit user SincerelySpicy on r/neofinetia:

Registered Fukiran Varieties - Google Sheets

There is two sheets, one for Japanese and one for Korean varieties.

Here's a few I've seen around for sale around the internet so far (there are no links to the vendor shops, just to pictures):

Myeong-ok 명옥 - registered

Hwang-ok 황옥 - registered, has yellow upturned flower

Yuri 유리

Gwanak 관악 - registered

Jinmuk 진묵 - registered

Chungwang 春光 - registered

Cheoneun 天恩 - registered

Myeonggwanggae 명광개

If anyone knows Korean, here's an entire database of registered varieties as well:

There's quite a few interesting varieties shown on the site, such as this one

매왕환

That's bean leaf with a nice deep magenta flower, and then this one

녹의 보석③

That has an awesome torafu variegation.

I also found this post from the same reddit user as above that goes over Japanese and Korean names for Neos:

Hopefully this is all helpful info for anyone looking for it.

EDIT:

I also found scrounging around the forums here a South Korean vendor that will sell to the US:

https://barampung2.cafe24.com/shop2

Keep in mind...for Neos you're probably paying at starting fee of $125. The shipping cost is stated here. You're also waiting upwards of 3 weeks for your plants to get shipped to you.

They have some varieties that I haven't seen sold much in the US, though, as well as some Choseiran.
