Ok, admit it.....what have you bought lately 2015 edition!!
Angraecum seems to be more available of late.
Acquired last week:
Angraecum germinyanum (compot)
Angraecum scottianum (compot)
Neofinetia falcata Koganenishiki x Baekun (flask)
One relatively inexpensive way to acquire more orchids is to start with compots--like my Angraecum. Based on the number of seedlings, when (and if) these get to be adults, each plant would be valued at around $30(?). But these seedlings cost around $6.
The Neofalcata seedlings cost around $1.50. When they get to bloom size, an adult Neofinetia has a value on average of $60-- named with provenance. In order for Neofinetia to have any value or interest to the orchid collector, each plant must be identified. Otherwise, these seedlings would have a value of around $10.
I am not buying these for any kind of investment. So much can happen in the next three to four years!
