INTRODUCTIONS ● NEOFINETIA FALCATA 'KINKOUSEI' 金光星

CHARACTERISTICS: leaf span - 4-5 in (10-13 cm); jiku - brown; tsuke - crescent moon; ne - brown*

 with dragon carving.


'Kinkousei' 金光星 or "Golden Constellation Light" is the name of this unique FUUKIRAN. When the plant is held against the light over dark background, the star-like pattern appears on its leaves, otherwise not clearly notable, as if the orchid has watermarks. It has torafu or tiger type variegation.

'Kinkousei' stays compact and produces a beautiful display of evenly fanned and spread narrow pointy leaves. This form is quite amusing and admired for its uncommon variegated foliage and a nice display. It produces white flowers, although, I have yet to see my 'Kinkousei' blooming.

  1. Excellent presentation. I have a similar pot I've been eyeing for many months now but it is for my bonsai instead ;) Well done!

  2. Thank you Ryan! Yes this particular pot is made for FUUKIRAN. You can tell by the shape and the large draining hole on the bottom. I am actually a big fan of bonsai pots and use them for my FUUKIRAN. Not too many FUUKIRAN specific pots appeal to me.
