Each inflorescence bears three to six or more white to blush flowers that are about an inch or so across. They are
usually very fragrant, especially at night. These are monopodial, with
alternating leaves and they tend to bloom in late summer or early fall.
Neofinetia can do very well under lights. These are blooming size, 2.5 inch hanging baskets as shown.
Be prepared to water
at least every other day. They are generally considered to require
intermediate temperatures. No direct sunlight, but dappled light is OK.
This species has been cultivated by the Japanese warrior class for
centuries. At one time anyone who was not a member of the elite samurai
class was forbidden to possess a specimen of the plant.
This species is
native to Japan, Korea and parts of China. They are NOT in flower now. The leaves are 3 to 4 inches long.
Some have bloomed already at least once. We have a number of them and we'll pick out a nice one for
you. We always ship the largest.
If you could find one of these in bloom
at an orchid show, it would probably sell for something north of $45.
We ship USPS Priority Mail or UPS depending on which promises the most prompt service to your address .
