Kell, I have no idea about the time from seed to flower! I've always bought my plants half way there, or in flower. I'm only new at growing from seed, and so far, the Vrieseas are about 3mm high, (after 3 months)! I guess it could take awhile!
Neos are fun to play with, and the seed germinates and grows quite quickly (10mm in 3 months) I skipped around with the paintbrush in early summer, when it semed like every Neo was flowering, and I tickled every flower I could find. So far, i have 4 different seed types on the go, but I'm not sure if its due to my meddling or to self polination. It will be fun to see what comes out of it. I think I did hear of a nursery in queensland, Bromagic? I think it was/is for sale and they do a lot of hybridising of Neos.

I clicked on 'CD ROM' and at the bottom of the page, it said this nursery is for sale, so i guess it must be the same one. They only do Ebay now I think.
I will take my camera to the plant fair, just for you Kell.
This is a pic of my Vrieseas, at the back. I've been moving things around, and some now live outside
