Hah. Amusing.

That 'CRS' he listed looks NOTHING like 'CRS' should look like. It is not the plant, and Mahon, you know better. ;) You are just playing devil's advocate, and it is PLAINLY OBVIOUS! give it up.

If you bought it after all of this, you are going to be sorely disappointed. I must say tho, I admire your false faith.

Naw... I feel that anything under $200 for this species is a pretty good deal for that size... I am VERY happy with my purchase, but thanks for your concern.

The flower picture in the auction is representative of the species. Even if that is the flower for the plant I bought, I am more than pleased! I don't particularly like the shaping of 'CRS'. If my plant does turn out to be 'CRS', then yay, I will sell it. Otherwise, I will enjoy my plant :)

I'm ready to puke over this ebay stuff...(where's the puke smiley when you need one !!!! ) Why don't we end this Ebay drama. I like when things are simple and personally can't stand soap operas.

If you bought the plant on ebay and you're happy with it great ! Leave Machiela positive feedback.

If you're not happy with it, leave him a negative feedback.

If you think there's something wrong with the auctions and machiela, stay clear don't bid on his items. Simple!

Let it go and move on... Things will take care of themselves, that's why Ebay feedback is for. Stop beating the dead horse :badh:

Back to the thread..........

Sue, can't wait to see pics of your plant when it arrives. No doubt it will be very happy in your grow area.

Yeah, really...enough of that crap.....now onto ME!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

My plant should be here soon, I'll post pics :photos:

By the way, Marty... I LOVE the visual in your last post here :coverlaugh:

Drum roll, please.......
 

just arrived!

Paph Hsinying Maru x Paph rothschildianum

26" tall with a 28" leaf span!

It is spectacular!

FYI: I got it from Boston Orchids on ebay (John Chant)

Sue, that is absolutely gorgeous! I have loved everything I have ordered from him - his stuff is beautiful :)

It just lost it's bottom bloom today, it fell as I watched! :shock:
It's beautiful and I would definitely order from him again, even with the shipping snafu. That was due to the Christmas chaos, it was in limbo for 9 days and still came to me in perfect health with 2 blooms! That says something to me about the man's ability in growing a healthy orchid :D

Nice stuff Sue - congrats on your purchase!
