Neofinetia falcata var Shutenno / Syutenno

[Neorchidist]

Here is another of my Neofinetia falcata plants, variety 'Syutenno' or 'Shutenno'

I've had this one for years. It faithfully blooms 3 times a year for me. Here is the latest batch of flowers on April 27, 2007. It smells terrific too!

Love the vibrant color in the spur! Very well bloomed!

Cheers,

Gorgeous!

I should be getting mine next week

Lovely. What do I need to do to get mine to bloom? They put out lots of growths, but never a spike. Too much light? Too little water? Not enough humidity?

HELP!

Gosh, I'm sorry I don't have any special secrets for you. Here is a link to what I posted a couple of days ago here at OrchidTalk regarding culture:

I've also posted more photos there of my 'Kikuotome' flowers, and here is the link for that:

They are such graceful flowers and so delicate. So beautiful, I love the lovely shade of violet

Very nice coloring. What is the scent like?

Very nice coloring. What is the scent like?

Thank you! It is a very sweet fragrance of perfumey vanilla with a hint of oriental spice, coconut and pineapple...tends to morph slightly around the clock.
