It's very pretty, but thats 2 trips to Disney World.

:nono:

Unbelievable. IF I were ever going to pay $10,000 for an orchid (which I never would), there are quite a few member's orchids on here that I've seen and would buy before that one.

there is wise saying "every day, an idiot goes out for a walk, if you find him, it belongs to you"... I think the guy from e-bay is just trying to find the idiot who buys that plant...

it is indeed a good plant (but, is it a certificate delivered that it is indeed what is offered?), and this clone has the honour of beeing the first true alba of this especies, but there are other good clones of this species nowadays...

From what I can tell that flower looks a little small if you look at this link you can see some slight differences I wonder if the name that the seller is put on there is legit.

Very intersesting ....I love white Cats....but am not & never would be mad enough to pay 10K$ for a plant of any sort...
I have lots & lots of things to do/buy than one orchid ..Neb the photo in your link does not look like the same to me either... will watch to see if someone really does buy it!

Jkelee 02-14-2009 06:12 PM

WHAT A JOKE!!! Are they crazy?? 10K for a plant??
I wrote the seller this;
"You're NOT Serios about this are you?? $10,000 for an orchid?? There must be a Huge pure Diamond in that orchid, right??"
We'll see if he responds...

They must have seen us talking about it, somehow....the item has ended.

Jkelee 02-14-2009 06:23 PM

They must not have liked my email I sent them! ;)
But maybe they got reported, and Ebay shut them down!

Jackie - you would ask that ...
I can't wait to see how he responds ...
