Neofinetia 'White Tara' x 'Crystal Palace': 2012's Flowers

Staring to grow out some buds 8/31/12


Looks like this will be a new growth after all. Only took it 5 years!I know Neofinetia are slow growers, but in all seriousness this one is the slowest of them all.

    1. Thanks, they're not too difficult. Just reduce watering and keep cool for a few months to give it a winter and keep it in high light year round.

    1. Neofinetias are slower growers than most orchids, but this particular cross is the slowest growing orchid I've ever had. The rest are not so bad!
