*dies a little inside* (of happiness)
I'm curious about the sky blue and yellow Neo Standards. After you ordered your pens, Nibs.com began to sell the Ama-iro and the Nanohana-iro, which I know both vary in shade quite a bit from pen to pen. Are yours variations of the same color, or did you special order a completely different, lighter color? The lighter blue next to the deeper Ama-iro is particularly nice.
Also, I have to thank you and your Nakaya rainbow. I have a Portable Writer in Awai Murasaki-iro and a Neo Standard in Nanohana-iro, both of which I adore. Those colors never fail to cheer me up; I smile every time I use the pens, and I like knowing that a fellow pen geek is the reason why Nakaya tried making those colors in the first place.

Let's start with the yellow pens.
The original one I ordered is the Nanohana-Iro which is the darker one. The lighter one is actually greenish and is called Wakakusa-iro. That one is my go to pen and probably unique. I originally commissioned the Ama-Iro which was the darker of the light blue pens. Nakaya already made pens in the lighter light blue. These two always get mixed up. I have no idea what they call them now.

Wow! It's been a while since I've seen a family portrait. Seems like the family's bigger than I expected.
I hope to see them at the end of August or in September, anyway.
Me, I'm thinking about a Piccolo, heki CIGAR (didn't much care for the clip on the one I traded to Loren). Standard EF. Dex (Pen Posse Wrocław) brought his Nakaya, um, Portable, I think, with a standard EF, and I... I think I need that.
Gorgeous family, Ricky. Thanks for posting that!
Um... are you coming to the Poland Pen Show? (Laughing.) SARJ will be there!
