$100 is probably the going price for a well grown mature plant. For those interested in buying one of these, I highly recommend that you purchase a blooming plant with flowers or a cutting of a plant with flowers. Less than 5% of the mericlones come out splashed. Most will bloom completely lavender.

I have just ordered a Ded. Enobi Purple 'Splash" from Crystal Star Orchids in New Market, Ontario, Canada. Blooming size is $10.00 and FS (Flowering) is $15.00. Our orchid society received a letter from this company. The guy says he likes to collect orders from lots of people and orchid societies and places a large collective order to Taiwan or wherever. He claims he imports from all over and has huge lists of offerings. I believe they will come bare root to you. Our society's executive is placing a small order with him to see what we get before putting it out to our members for a group order and my experimental item is this dendrobium, along with a psycopsis. It's worth a try and not much money lost if it isn't a splashed flower. I hope mine is tho! The Dend was found on list number 17 to simplify things and I think you have to contact him to get the lists. Hope that helps.

Silken.

I have purchased plants through Eric, who I believe is the owner of Chrystal Star. His plants are nice and well rooted from my experience. He has just recently advised our club of his import ventures and we will likely be putting in a group order in the near future. Hope that you are happy with your purchases silken.

By the way H. Sunshine, that is one of the most spectacular dendrobiums I've ever seen!! Well grown.
