    Tom, a few of my plants I got from the guy that owns Seed Engei. The 'Tensho' is one of them. The guy seems to be a pretty good guy and he has reasonable prices. He sells on eBay. I think his name on there is japanese orchids or something like that. The 'Tensho' looks like it's the real deal to me. It's a smaller plant than all my others. The Seed Engei guy also sells a magazine with a buch of different varieties in it. If you want I can send it to you to borrow it to check it out.

    If I were to add any more plants to my collection I'd like to add a 'Hisui' before anything else.

    I forgot something. Has anyone seen the ones with the 3 spurs? They look like little devils, they're so cool! One more thing Tom, how big is your kinkujaku? That's another one that I am very interested in, especially after seeing the one in the magazine I have!!

    "Has anyone seen the ones with the 3 spurs?"
    Yup, that one is super nice but very expensive.

    "One more thing Tom, how big is your kinkujaku? That's another one that I am very interested in, especially after seeing the one in the magazine I have!"
    It is still small but there will be a division ready for you when you have your 'Tensho' ready for me;)

    Tom please, Do you Know neofinetia's sellers in Europe? I don't know anyone. I often search on E-bay but I found only thailandian nurseries and the plants are not species but hybrids.

    Infact I have a little "Amami pink" on slabs and it is very sane, I've also a plant of natur form on a plastic pot with bark and a little of sphagnum and perlite. I have a cold except on the floor
    there seem strange but I put my plants from cold as Dendrobium and Cymbidium on the floor, often works.
    I hope to soon find a home more comfortable for me and my plants.

    Anyone grow Neofinetias on slabs?

    Most of my neos are potted traditionally, though I do have one on a piece of driftwood. It was a small piece that fell off during repotting. It seems happy mounted. Neos should grow well on cork slabs.

    Interesting one but I don't think that is the one I am talking about. That one I saw had white flowers. I need to dig deeper for that one. Thanks.

    EGOISTA, I don't know any commercial Neof. grower in EU.

    BTW, Neof. grows on tree branch in the wild, so I think they will do well on mount if the RH is not super low. I am growing two plants on stick mounts now and I need to wait and see how they grow during the growing season.
