| Dang. If it's 25 years, I'll be an old, decrepit woman...probably senile, too! LOL I hope to be alive when it gets to that size.

| Here are the Neos that I purchased at the San Jose show:    The first picture shows from left to right, a species Neo and a Shutennou. The second picture is a Hisui, and the last is a spike off the Shutennou. I'm a little dissapointed in my Shutennou however, since I think some of the buds are starting to dry out. I don't know what I did to make them do that. I'll have to take a picture today to show everyone. |

| Great pics! Did you get the Shutennou in spike? It could be possible that the change in environment is causing the buds to drop. I hope that's not the case  |

| I'm not sure if you can see them well, but here are the buds now. One of the buds looks like its nearly dried out and the others, the spurs are drying out. Hopefully I can stop it there.   Also, here is a picture of Satomi and her booth. Sorry it took me forever to post this!  |

| bkim -- Thanks for sharing that video. I, too, wish I understood what they were talking about. I wonder if that was Satomi's booth.  butt0n -- Nice Neos. I think the buds drying maybe due to environment change. Looking at the pic, it doesn't look like they're drying. Ok, I just saw the more recent pic. The blooms look like it's drying out. Are you misting them??

| Nice pictures and plants, they look very healthy! Can't wait to see the blooms. It looks like you still have some buds on the Shutennou. It is a good thing that I could not be at the show, I am sure I would have spent a BUNCH of money on those wonderful Neo's!

| I have my Darwinara Charm & Kutsuwamushi in front of a southern window with additional light. Others orchids are there too, including my Sedirea. My Furan is in an east facing window just cause I wanted to try to see if it would make a difference in growth. My Shutennou that comes next week will also go in the Southern window. I water them when the moss is dry, and mist every couple of days.

| butt0n, My rule of thumb is not to include the buds when misting. But then, I don't tend to mist my orchids unless it's really warm and dry. That's when I know the moisture will evaporate within minutes. The Neos I bought a year ago are up in the orchid room and gets east-south dappled light. The Neos I recently bought are downstairs in the dining room. They get south dappled light. I don't want to bring them upstairs, yet, since I discovered mites on some of my 'chids. So I'm in quarantine and treatment mode. When everything is ok in the orchid room, I'll then add my newly acquired orchids.

| Nice plants!  That video was cool.. The variegated leaf Neo's were cool! I have mine under gro-lights.about 8 or 9 inches from the lights. They seem happy there! I mist them every day, and water them when the moss looks dry. Keep us posted on how your new babies are doing!

| Patti I got the pots from Satomi on ebay. They have some similar on Orchid web. I ordered some from New World Orchids. I talked to Dr. Lehr and he said that they just got back from Japan and England. I ordered 3 for $25.00, I told him to pick them out. I think they are not fancy, just a simple Neo pot. I guess that means I have to get one or two more!!! Great video! I want one of each!!!!
