I would simply enjoy the plant! Smiling

Btw, if you look into Neofinetia falcata with its many many different types of variegation, different root colors, different leaf forms and leaf axils, now there is a whole different world of registering these plants in Japan. They are ranked somewhat similar to Japanese Sumo wrestler's Banzukes, in a so called Fuukiran Meikan. The most expensive plants are in the middle and as the writing gets smaller, so is the price tag, which can range from a few thousand dollars, to the more common ones, which are easier affordable.
Now how does a plant get on to the Meikan? Since these plants can be divided ( they grow like mini Vandas), a variation must be reproducible three times before it can make it onto the sides of the Meikan. Each division has to be true to the changed variation, to make sure it is not a fluke.
And even then, some of these plants "morph".
