Seishi's varigated and pedigree collection

Snap at all his Fuukiran collection

During the ride to the place, he gave be an interesting insight to the expensive hobby of collecting Fuukiran - very different from your normal Neofinetia falcata (aka Fuuran).

Fuukiran has a pedigree in them in the sense that anyone who wants to register a Neofinetia falcata as a Fuukiran has to be inducted into the Fuukiran Society, provide details of the plant such as source, description and proof that it is over a century old. Normal Neofinetias are known as Fuuran.

A cattleya from the land of gold with the leaves of the same colour - How come it wasn't in my flask?!


Most of the plants still recovering from fertiliser burn/ a salt out, so didn't look quite well yet. Just give it time.
