I have had Neon Flamingo since it first came out, and it does exceptionally well here in it's home state of Ohio, being fully
dormant. I too have not had any pods out of it, but Jamie Gossard told me that he has had them on his.

Neon Flamingo is very similar to White Eyes Pink Dragon, slightly shorter, and almost exactly the same color, but with a
slightly less watermark eye. Of the two, Neon Flamingo makes a gorgeous clump and a nice height, but for seeds, you
would prefer White Eyes Pink Dragon as it is taller and the plant is more robust than Neon Flamingo. Most people who
come to my garden have a hard time telling the two apart as they are that similar, but I like both equally. The scapes
on both plants are sturdy and well branched with a few weeks of bloom, but White Eyes is a few days later than
Neon Flamingo in both first blooms and last blooms. Here in my garden, I would have to say that the flowers on it are
almost exactly the same size as White Eyes Pink Dragon, but perhaps more flat and don't roll back as much.
