I had forgotten about this but I'm not sure that prices travel borders that well. I recently bought Cattleya trianaei alba Aranka Germaske FCC/AOS from Orchideen Strauss in Germany and it cost me 50 Euros while for the same plant costs $1,000 here -
Orchid Web: Cattleya trianaei var. alba 'Aranka Germaske' FCC/AOS . I don't know if one of these plants was a division and the other not or why there is a discrepancy of prices. Anyhow, your point is taken and much appreciated. I'm just on the cusp of buying it - this is going to be a test of wills and I'm fairly sure the neo is going to win. Oh dear...here we go!
