'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.

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