Lori I just saw something that really bothered me about that listing. Your paying $200+ for a ONE p-bulb division!!!! Well it's is really the price that bothers me, if you have then why not, but it's the fact that the seller is only selling it a one bulb. It is usually recommended that divisions be done with three bulbs. If something goes wrong with that one bulb...there is nothing else to keep it alive! It just seems kind of scary is all so I thought I would express my concern!

Lori, I deffinately agree with Becca. A reputable seller will not sell a single bulb division. The smallest I would go with is a 2 bulb front division. There are too many things that could go wrong with a single bulb. In fact people that chop a plant up that much rates right up there with puppy mills. But, that is just my

Hi Lori, I really know the feeling when you see something special available. There have been a few that I had my eye on before and when I was in the position to get them poof they were no longer available.

I did a search for that Cattleya Variegated ... on ebay even the completed listings but it was all 1 pseudobulb divisions. 235 and 280 $ or 450 $ at ebay store....
I saw no 2 PB divisions for sale.
I think the $280 item did not sell and was relisted for 235. If there was a 2PB item that ended within a few months would still show up in the search results
