Great story! She seems to have been an astute business woman. It is a gorgeous orchid. Did your friend know what these rich men sold their divisions for?

Here's the one I picked up yesterday..


It is the EXACT plant that was awarded at this Redland's show.

The pic from my HTC EVO, to facebook, to photobucket, does it no justuce. The slate blue lip is incredible. As I was carrying it around on my wagon, I kept getting stopped by folks asking about it. It is definitely a show stopper.
