As for the price question, my most expensive chid so far is my V David Gardner 'Za Inat' which I asked Martin Motes to hand-choose for me. It's a big dark purple beauty that blooms twice a year sometimes with 3 spikes!  |
Okay Sue...you need to re-read the title of this thread! It says what's the most that you've ever paid for an orchid...not which orchid did you pay the most for...
What are you SCARED to tell us how much, or are you afraid that hubby will see, or are you in a state of denial |

I noticed she hadn't given a value either. It's got to be one of those three |

Wow! Lots of prices. So far the most I have paid was $40.00 for a Psychopsis. I love it. Very exotic looking.

I'm new at this and my most expensive was $40 for a Paphiopedilum Redhawk #3 that I bought myself for my birthday. It was a beautiful deep magenta/maroon. It was in bloom for 3 months and seems healthy now. I've bought a lot in flower so I can get a sense of what I like.
I used to fly planes, so this is a cheap hobby! It's even cheaper than photography.

The most I've ever paid for a single orchid was $85, which was for my Coelogyne pandurata. There were two other plants in the same order (Coelogyne barbata and Bollea lawrenceana), so the overall price tag was about $135.
My orchids have all but wiped out my savings.  |
