Cool!;~)
I loves the Neos!

How many spikes do you have?
I've rarely had more than one or two.

I'll be posting one in a couple of days.
As soon as everything opens, anyway. ;~)

Do you have a cultivar name, or is it a wild type?
Although I've gathered a lot of named ones, my baby is a wild type and was my first one! :~)

Scott, its got three spikes this time. That is pretty common for this plant but this time each spike has slightly less flowers than last time. I suspect it is because I grew the plant warmer over winter than last year.

No cultivar name. I got it from the now defunct Countryside nursery of NMex, about five years ago. It didn't bloom or grow well until I potted it Japanese style.

Beautiful! I have one spike with 5 flowers getting ready to bloom any day...

Are you growing it on a sphagnum mound? What kind of light do you give it?

Mounted eh? That sounds like an excellent idea! They grow so well in the traditional way I would be loathe to try it, and yet I can easily imagine a really nice display with a bunch of them marching up or across a large cork log or branch. Ooh la la.

Wirt: fake light mostly. Mine sits a few inches below two shoplights and also gets a small amount of light from a window. "High" light, is the ticket.
