Money spent is for a good cause, conservation of North American native orchids. (All of which are endangered...) These aren't intended to be a replacement for the real orchids (most of which one cannot grow in captivity!) but rather a fun project. A few seed-grown native orchids are available from nurseries, that have a chance of growing in captivity, but most, you either have to hike to where they are, or appreciate photos taken by other people who have done those hikes. Most of these are very dependent on the mycorrhyzae in the soil where they live, typically don't even survive if moved with surrounding dirt. Totally dependent on habitat preservation.
