hahaha this is SAGE advice--i had a total blunder...i bought two of the same plant at this show!!!
it was actually a lot less stupid than you might think...i was looking at the bare root divisions and they were in bins by type...i was , of course, inspecting every node and bract looking for active leads and finding plants in active growth!!! i got so carried away checking the plants that i forgot that people might put plants back in the wrong bin......yep, i thought it was one plant and did not even double check the tag....a$$hat, lol, it is myc ( or myv.) francis fox so i did not double up on a loser lol

A few other YT orchid growers turned up and were featured on Diva's video.
