Yeah, I'm saving up some "butter & egg money" in case I ever come across a vendor that has Lc. Ecstacy 'Orchidglade' for sale. I have had two near misses trying to buy this plant.

The most expensive neo sold on record was a giant Tenkeifukurin (100+ growths) that sold for USD $300,000!!!! Came in a $7000 pot! Imagine!

For a lot of wealthy people in LA, $650.00 for a color pot that will be thrown away when done blooming is not a big deal. The maid can probably order something that cheap without notifying the owner of the house. |
