THE LARGEST NEOFINETIA FALCATA SELECTION IN CANADA

THANK YOU OTTAWA CUSTOMERS!

My goal is to search out, bring for sale and grow  species of Japanese orchids, particularly Neofinetia falcata, Sedirea japonica, Dendrobium moniliforme and Japanese Cymbidium goeringii. At the moment I would like to present for sale to you perhaps the largest selection of Japanese Neofinetia varieties in Canada. We have over 50 varieties, all potted in the traditional Japanese way.

My recent trip to Japan was amazing, having met numerous master growers of this fascinating plant and I even learned personally traditional Neofinetia potting techaniques from the grower who repots Neofinetia for the Emperor of Japan. I now would like to offer Canadians the opportunity to purchase a wide variety of Neofinetia and to be a resource for growing this plant in the traditional way.

This web-site will be up-dated slowly as plants arrive. Feel free to drop me a line as there are many more varieties available. We can send you a listing.

For the beginner reading this, Neofinetia falcata is a culture unto itself in Japan. This one species has over 2200 varieties listed as well as having an entire society devoted to its culture. In a nutshell, the species comes in a variety of forms including flower colour and form (Hanamono ranging from green to pink flowers), marginal variegation (fuukurin), stripe (shima) and mameba (bean shaped varieties, some of which have super mini leaves). Some of these plants are extremely valuable (sometimes the price of a house!) and some have the potential to morph into other more expensive varieties.

Please feel free to check out the Miscellany section of this web-site for cultural information

I am passioante about this plant, so please write to me about your experiences with Neofinetia falcata.
