Scroll past all the no name Phals'.......apparently one of the best orchid collections you'll ever see be auctioned off.

Wow! That's an awesome list!!!

Are you going to participate? I could pick 50 without even thinking about it...if I lived in Australia

[Djarum Black]

WOW! That's some list!

I keep wondering though...

Is this what happens to us orchid addicts when we die? Our collections get auctioned off to people? Seems kinda sad!
I better go make a will lol.

Wow, thats a big list. But they seem lacking in the Catt department. But I saw Dyakia hendersonianum.

Amazing list! More than thousand orchids should go! I hope, nobody has died.

Ah.........I think they might have died but I'm not 100% sure on that one. Either that or they're too frail to look after them.

Over the 14 years I've been in business, I have acquired several collections from individuals. The reasons for the sell-offs vary:

1. Moving to Arizona; grows mostly phrags.
2. Divorced and both moving to small apartments.
3. Retired and relocating the residence to an RV.
4. Retired and relocating the residence to a yacht. (Jealousy, anyone?)
5. Collection too much for old person to care for.
6. Yep, death.

I guess I won't move, if I have to sell my beloved plants. And I don't exchange them for the residence on yacht either.
