Neofinetia

Neofinetia is an orchid genus of 3 species.

-Neofinetia falcata (Thunb.) Hu
-Neofinetia richardsiana Christenson
-Neofinetia xichangensis Z.J.Liu & S.C.Chen

Of these 3 species only the N. falcata has made it into common cultivation.

In Japan selected forms of N. falcata have a special status. A couple of hundred years ago the shogun Tokugawa Ienari liked these plants so much that he had collection of these plants.
The plants where only for the elite of Japan and got the name of Fuukiran (orchid for the rich and noble)
Today however everybody can have these plants. In Japan there are several nurseries that are specialized in just these varieties and there are even shows and actions soly for this plant.

In the west these plants are rarely seen and hard to get. In the US is a nursery that is specialised in them called New World Orchids.
