I know that when my culture is not ideal it shows in the flowers. This winter I let my Paphs get too dry between waterings. As a result my Ho Chi Minh has a wonky dorsal and isn't nearly as big as it was last year. My sukhakulii has a slightly deformed pouch. When I correct my culture then the flowers should get back to normal.
That seems like a lot of $$ for vinis. Maybe they factored in traveling expenses. I know I only paid $45 for a blooming OZ fairrie a year ago, but I live on the same coast as OZ so it didn't have far to go.

That could be the case, but I was told the price is higher for the ones that are of special breeding line and of certain size and shape, which did not necessarily match my beauty standard.
I found all the nearly perfectly round complex (the most expensive due to their round shape) were the ugliest things I had ever seen.
I remember there was a maudiae type hybrid with rather a large flower and alright color (kid of like dirty macabre color), and it was actually pretty, but after seeing that it was over $500, I lost my appetite. lol
They did bring a few fairrie and there were all of different price, but ok, one was around $50.
They must have been over stock or too common. I don't know.
