Question Help ID'ing Neofinetia falcata variety?



I know I'll never get a perfect ID but I still want to gather all the info I can. I bought these two on ebay without much description, and put them into vase culture when they arrived (pic). A few weeks later, the roots reactivated and one of them has green root tips and the other has pink/magenta root tips. I figure they must be different kinds/variety/type/??? of Neo. Any experts wanna chime in? Even just to confirm or correct my assumption?

(This pic was taken today as I was changing the sphag around them. They're just very wet from getting rinsed.)

Deeply appreciated!

I don't think this one is any particular variety. It just looks like the normal Neo that I usually see.

I agree with Kevin.

And btw, different levels of light can cause the root tip color to change.

My one Neo's root tips sometimes are green, sometimes pinkish depending on the culture it is receiving at the time.

I have two different Neos, a Higashidemiyako and a Shuttennou (with the pinkish flowers), and the foliage and roots all look the same. If you have two different ones, you probably won't be able to tell until they bloom.

I agree with Kmarch also. Even in bloom there are so many that have the same color variations in the crosses its almost impossible to tell them apart even in bloom.
