Neofinetia falcata Himiko 卑弥呼

Introduce a masterpiece of Japanese classical horticulture to your collection with Neofinetia falcata 'Himiko' (卑弥呼) (now classified as Vanda falcata). Named after the legendary shaman queen of ancient Japan, 'Himiko' is a highly coveted, premium Fuukiran variety famous for its dramatic, untamed beauty and spectacular "Tsuke" (leaf-joint) features.

For connoisseurs of rare orchids, 'Himiko' represents the peak of architectural foliage and dramatic presentation.

• The Wild Shaman Leaf Type (狂葉/変わり葉): 'Himiko' is famous for its fiercely twisting, irregular, and fiercely curved leaves. Unlike standard symmetrical varieties, its foliage grows in a dramatic, multi-directional "wild" form that looks like a living green sculpture.
• Wavy Ocean-Wave Tsuke (波型付け): One of its highest defining features is the leaf base joint (Tsuke), which forms a distinct, beautifully wavy "Nami" (ocean wave) pattern.
• Vibrant Mud-Purple Accents: The leaf bases and stems develop dark, intense mud-purple pigmentation (Mud-Jiku), providing a stunning contrast to the deep green leaves.
• Ruby and Mud Root Tips: During the active growing season, this variety produces breathtaking root tips that flash with deep ruby-pink or dark mud tones.
• Heavenly Fragrant Blooms: In summer, it produces clusters of pristine white, spurred flowers that fill the room with a sweet, vanilla-jasmine fragrance, especially strong at dusk.
