Pretty steep for a plant. all of what I have are acquired only this year so I still have a long way to go when it comes to taking care of them. I just hope they all do well and soon im sure they will bloom for me.

I can understand why it is expensive. The orchid plant is in the endangered list. Most growers in the USA have produced it from flask and it is encouraged to propagate it. The specimen you saw must have been grown in a lab because it is illegal to harvest it from the wild.
