Neofinetia falcata - The absolute magic - Comprehensive guide and knowledge

Neofinetia orchids are a genus of the orchid family, related to vanda family. This genus in total combines of 3 species, three found in China, two in Korea and one in Japan. But it’s the single Japanese species that is the prise jewel of the family and on this one species – Neofinetia falcata I will concentrate. A lot of material contained in this entry comes from external sources that will be listed at the bottom for reference. Neofinetia falcata starts shrouded in a local myth. The orchid is known under two names, Furan – meaning Wind orchid or the Samurai Orchid. It’s claimed that Shogun Tokugawa lenari fell in love with the plant and its beauty and a samurai was sent to help in searching and collecting the plants from the mountains. It is arguably the first orchid ever to be grown with intention as a house plant from the early 1600s in Japan. Furan, the Japanese name for “Neofinetia falcata,” started to be replaced by ‘Fuuki-ran’ meaning ‘the rich and nobl...

Aliceara (Degarmoara) Winter Wonderland 'White Fairy"

I heard about this orchid "it grows like a weed but blooms more beautiful than anything I have ever seen", and I must agree with this term as this Aliceara belongs to the three most beloved by myself orchids. Someone can say it's white and plain, but it's not purely white or plain or definitely not boring. Aliceara (Degarmoara) Winter Wonderland 'White Fairy" has it's parenthood in a cross between Bratonia Cartagena x Oncidium. Gledhow . It was registered by Bee Lian Nursery in Thailand, on the 1st of January 1989. So from the start, this is a epiphytic growing, intergenetic orchid hybrid, taking many traits from it's both parents. Saying this it will require quite similar care and watering routine. The flowers seem to be white but they sometimes show a painted green shadow that beautifully marks the centre of the petal maroon spots in random order. In this setting it resembles the features of a white lilly. The flowers have a faint, t...

Banfieldara Gilded Tower 'Mystic Maze'

There is perhaps this one orchid you like, well not entirely like. It's more like a curious unconscious attraction, but you are not sure why and not really sure if you would want this plant.You saw it somewhere online, or at your friends or at a show and still there is plenty other orchids you would rather buy than this. Yeah, this is me in this case and Banfieldara Gilded Tower is my such problem. I don't own this orchid (yet) and I'm not sure if it's love or hate or both at the same time. I really like it but I don't. "Mystic Maze" is a rather complex cross of Brassidium Gilded Urchin and Rhyncada (Adaglossum)Summit, yes that is a mouthful. The parentage is viable in the intense colors and the spider shape of the flower, also in the vigorous growth pattern and very tall and long flower spikes. It is also a thirsty orchid that requires a good potting mix, able to retain moisture and watering twice a week during the summer period when the temp...
