bellina or violacea or something else?

[vegetalmatter]

smwaever – I've been tempted a few times to shell out the 200 dollars for one of Krull Smith's bellinas but always chicken out mostly because I won't know exactly what the plant looks like until it gets here.. Is it appropriate practice to ask a seller for a pic of the actual plant or similar plants when buying something that expensive? I've gotten Peter Lin of BLO to send me pics a few times but he is a friendly guy. Not sure if this is an annoying ask for most growers though.

It's customary for the seller to show pics of the actual flowers from that orchid for relatively expensive purchases.

It is typical. Usually it is automatic ....without needing to ask them.
