Neof. falcata Oonamiseikai 大波青海 "Big Blue Ocean Wave"

[MattWoelfsen]

This is one of the first plants I acquired. I think most of us have this plant. I bought mine from New World Orchid. Judging from other threads, this is a popular plant.

Here is a picture of an Oonamiseikai from Seed Engai.

Here is another picture from Seed Engei.

As usual, I'm scanning around eBay, and found a reference to a smaller plant: Seikai 青海 "Blue Sea"--which I realized I already own.

The description for this plant indicates that it has a Tsuke like the Oonamiseikai--ocean wave. I learned about Tsuke from s.kallima.

Here is another picture of Seikai.

(For some reason, I can only post one picture at a time!)

I found two plants that are named Jukai 樹海. This picture is from Seed Engei.

This looks like the same plant listed in Seed Engei auction. Same kanji, so I'm assuming another plant, same variety. But from Orchids Limited.

From what I can tell, the difference between Seikai and Junkai are the flowers. Seikai has pink flowers, Jukai has green flowers.

Now, I see a Seed Engei listing for UNKAI 雲海 "Sea of Clouds". According to the description, this is another similar plant to Seikai, except UNKAI flowers are white.

Here is another picture of the plant.

Are there any other plants like Seikai? I have found four: Oonamiseikai, Seikai, Junkai, and Unkai.
