John, for what it's worth, as far as I know, the most expensive plant ever offered was a blue Phalaenopsis violacea that had been wild collected back in the late-70's/early-80's time frame. $35,000 was the asking price - about $100,000 in today's money!
Seems exorbitant, and I have no idea what was actually paid for it, but in retrospect, it was probably a good deal as 1) no more blue violaceas have ever been discovered, and 2) every blue one out there has that plant in its lineage.
What an investment!
