May I ask where did you purchase yours? if it was online:-)

Tommy, I got mine from Ecuagenera when they were at a show. If I remember correctly it was $25, but I didn't preorder. If you preorder, I think it's $14 and then the 2-3 extra dollars for importing it.

Many thanks Nikkik, I found it on Seattle orchids website, so I know Ecuagenera will have it, you are right, Seattle is $34, Ecuagenera is $14. I can not preorder anymore for next weeks show, I already did add worth $200:-) But I will ask them if they have one at the show and will get it there with my pick up:-) Foliage is just perfect it will look so great on hygrolon. See, and that's what I have mentioned, haven't you mention this orchid here, I would not know about it=would not buy one:-))))

Are you sure that's a good thing??

[TOMMYMIAMI]

No, not really, it cost me arm and leg in last 5 months, however, it is hobby and I adore orchids, and mini's can fit still to my tight space:-) Plus hygrolon is doing really great, I was holding myself for over a month to see how it works, and now I am adding to it to make it as my vision was:-) So it is getting filled pretty fast, and this foliage will look just perfect there! So many thanks:-)

I am with you there! That's all I ever want as gifts and my family, with the exception of my husband, doesn't get it! Lol! I have missed out on so many on my wish list by waiting and now I can't find some, that everytime I see one on my list it takes a great deal of self control not to get it (that's if I don't get it).

[TOMMYMIAMI]

Nikkik, great you have some control, I just don't, I gave up on that, when I like something, if I can get it, I get it, it is with everything, not only orchids, pretty much my life logo - "Life is way too short not to enjoy ourselves"!!! I pretty much fulfilled my wish list by the end of September, and in October wrote the new one:-) I bought probably over 100 orchids in last 5 months:-)))))))

I agree life's too short not to enjoy it! I'm happy your having fun and able to get the orchids you want that's awesome!

Can't wait for Friday next week, and orchid show in Fairchild gardens, except my pick up from Ecuagenera with some long waited for plants I am sure I will end up buying much more, I am not taking credit cards, only cash, that way I can have actually some limit:-)))))

I have to admit, I'm a bit envious of Florida and California orchid growers because you have so many great shows and vendors.

I hope you have a great time! Keep us all posted on all the orchids you come back with, can't wait to see all of your new plants.
