$50!! Wow, I got this one for like $8 as a seedling. I had to wait 4 or 5 years though. That seems a little steep. I wonder if there is another grower on the mainland. Akatsuka caters mostly to tourists, so they can charge an arm and a leg and get away with it. Any hybrid with the word 'Volcano' is one of their crosses, so see if you can find a mainland grower with lots of 'Volcano' varietals and you might be able to get one for a better price.

I made a research and the only thing I could find is a cross : Blc. Volcano Blue x Cattleya labiata coerulea ‘Blue Star’...It's 2/3 years from blooming...20 euros
As i have to go to this nursery (la cour des orchidées) in a few days i'll see if i buy one (i had recently swear to buy only blooming size orchids...)
