Neofinetia falcata "Shutennou"

Since we had such a crazy late summer, my Neofinetias just started blooming. They are supposed to go to 'winter rest'.

The key to grow them well is to give them winter rest ( cooler and drier ). Most of them are from Japan, my home country and its winter is cold and dry.

On the side note, when I told my mom in Japan that I grow Neofinetia, she flipped. She knows some of them are really expensive.
