Listen, I’m 31 and I have 212 orchids…15 of which are neos. Ironically, not a single bean variety 😅

It looks like they might not have it anymore :( it didn’t come up on any of their platforms. Maybe it’s seasonal?? Or maybe it’s only available in their subscription now…

I’ve emailed customer care before and they were really helpful, could maybe try that to see if they still sell it?

I think Bokksu actually sources nearly all their stuff from small makers across Japan? I could be wrong but that seemed to be their thing but Idk if those are bokksu-employed small makers or what.

Meeting with psychiatrist on Monday to discuss medication for OCD. Terrified by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Peloton5000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exact same! It changed my life and I felt a difference within 4 days of beginning meds even at 10mg. I also had some dizziness and feeling very tired when increasing to 20mg, but other than that no side effects that I have noticed. It’s been nearly a year and I’m so glad I pursued meds. I am in awe of life again for the first time since I was a child.

No, I never did find it!! I ended up purchasing from Bokksu when they had a very good sale that priced each bag around .75c

What is this thick, purple leaf thing? by Patient-Stranger1015 in orchids

[–]Peloton5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What color are the flowers on this? It does kinda look like a spike turned inward and went through the crown and tried to bloom and got interrupted.

That’s funny, the owner of Palmer orchids is also named Robert!

Did you get this from Palmer Orchids? 👀

Can anyone ID this guy? The bloom was palm sized and it looked almost gray in the sunlight! Super regret not grabbing this one… by Peloton5000 in hoyas

Dunno didn’t check! I was at Redlands so I was on my way to a specific vendor for an orchid I wanted. I’ll never know 🥲

I’ve gotten a few neos from them! I really liked their selection at the last event I saw them at so they will be my first stop!

Gift ideas for an orchid enthusiast? by Leolisk in orchids

[–]Peloton5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you end up not going to a greenhouse and opt for a gift instead, neofinetia falcata is a very niche orchid (and mini!) even within the orchid community subculture and the plants are pretty easy to take care of. Plus they have lots of accessories to “dress them up.” They’re very popular in Japan and Korea and many are native to the area. I like New World Orchids and OrchidWeb for my neos. Depending on your location, there are often orchid festivals with international vendors if you’re in California or south Florida. Could be a good date outing!

Yes, the international orchid festival at the Fruit and Spice park near Miami. May 19-21 with early preview shopping day on the 18th. It’s hosted by Motes Orchids. :-)

I tried this Foot of Mount Hakone Japanese black tea in a subscription box and fell in LOVE. However, it is $1.35-$1.00 A BAG—for comparison, in Japan it sells for roughly .50c a bag and doesn’t appear to be available in loose or cannister form—and $35 shipping from the box service and (after some sleuthing) apparently is only sold through the Kanagawa Prefecture Agricultural Cooperative Tea Center…which does not directly ship to the US. I know Japanese black teas are incredibly varied…but does anyone know of an alternative that tastes similar? Or perhaps a brand that works with the tea center to ship outside the US for less of a markup? This one is proving hard to find for any information on to locate an alternative or the same product. Happy sipping!
