I was just looking at all of the new orchid listings on Ebay (sorry if anyone hates the bay) and Waldor Orchids is blatantly selling CMV infected orchids plants!!!!! And as a consolation for buying a diseased plant for them they are selling at a lower price. HUH???
I have been growing orchids for nearly 40 years now and I have even worked for a few notable growers in my time. Virused plants were either burned or discarded period.
So have things really changed that much to where selling viral infected orchids is ok with orchid growers now?
Thank you for letting me vent. Unfortunately the bay does not have a way to report sellers selling diseased plants.

Your not absolutely not old fashioned, i have been in great arguement with three orchidgrowers on this side of the pond about the same. They all sold my virused orchids, and acted like it is totally normal. (And they didn't mention this in their discription) One of them even stated that all hybrid orchids are virused. So what was the dus about. Like i'm the crazy one. I'm still appalled and stunned. Times have changed and not for the better.
