Buying dilemma
 
I have a dilemma. I finally found a source for all the Phal. sp. I want (well, the important ones anyway), and I find I can't afford to get them all.
What should I do? Which ones should I get?
P. gibbosa
P. javanica
P. deliciosa
P. celebensis
P. chibae

They are all in the 28-32 dollar range, and I don't want to loose $100 on this. :angry: I rather not spend $80 either. Yikes even $50 hurts. Why! Why must I be an orchidaholic!!!:_(
Anyway,
gibbosa and chibae would complete my lobbii, parishii, gibbosa, chibae group. celebensis is soooo darn perty! And similar to the above mentioned. As well as deliciosa. :hmm I wonder why its called deliciosa.
And javanica is on the list to fill that empty whole left in my tank after I accidentaly violently murdered my last P. javanica so I can't say no to that one. Ahhhhhh!!!!!
So chibae and gibbosa are a must!!! The decision is, between celebensis, javanica, and deliciosa:hmm

I'd vote for deliciosa. It's so sparkley and pretty.

Cause it's soooo delicate - I vote deliciosa ! :):Tup:
Get it so I can live through you vicariously until I get one ;)

right now and then you'll have something to look forward to getting at a later date?

I think the javanica is really cute, but hey, they are all great. I've never seen these up close. Quite impressive little girls from what I can see on the internet. Not an easy choice.

What a great solution!! Glad you got it worked out, as I wouldn't have been able to choose either! :)

OK, to throw a fly in the ointment:

THAT will be a LOT in shipping costs, probably the value of one or two plants!!!!

Shipping is an evil we all have to live with but I try to mitigate the costs as much as possible.
