Neofinetia Stride 富贵 兰

It finally arrived. It 's true, with the latest arrivals from America I had promised myself to cut the compulsive shopping on the Internet. It 'also true that she had been taken in just one round of manic buying some time ago. The problem is that it took him a lifetime and a half to get from the "far" in London, nearly two days.
Okay come on, as always, the joy of new sweeps away the hassle of waiting. And it's really fascinating, with its single pitch plasticity. You have to like it a lot. Moreover, the small
Neofinetia Stride, 富贵 栏 (fukiran) or 风 栏 (furan) in his native tongue, has some story to tell. It appears that the small Neofinetia in feudal Japan was particularly beloved by samurai and military nobility, which by law were the only ones able to cultivate. Part of this popularity was the date of the shape of its flower that vaguely reminiscent of the helmet of the typical Nipponese soldiers. The two versions of the Nipponese name meaning "prosperous and valuable orchid" and "orchid of the wind."
By the end of isolation in Japan following the fall of the shogunate, but the iron laws feudalism declined and so the cultivation of Fukiran was "liberalized". Today
growing Neofinetia Stride is a hobby that has many admirers in Japan and, as often happens, some of its Japanese mania has made a real Zen extreme discipline, as is the case even for bonsai.
The cultivation and appreciation of Neofinetia so what are very serious, with a whole vocabulary that includes terms specific to the shape and color not only leaves and flowers, but also how they attach to the body of the plant, for proportion and form assumed by the aerial roots to the nuances of the leaves, suitable for potting done precious ceramic pots or terracotta.
There is also a national association of lovers of Fukiran (http://www.nihonfuukirankai.com/), which organizes exhibitions, events and judges with inflexible severity the validity of the new hybrids that are created from time to time.
The plant arrived today is not very big but the pictures I see around, could possibly bloom next summer. Among the other flowers have a characteristic smell Neofinetia Stride apparently very intense. A flowering would also get some capsuala to start with the seeding. We just have to wait. In the meantime, the company went for fellow Sedirea Japonica in the space between the double windows. It seems that the addiritura Neofinetia can withstand temperatures well below freezing and near.
