Orchids, CITES and Traveling.

[magicsomething]

I was walking by a flower shop and they had some plants separated in a box under a table...
I know they was orchids and they really need water... So I ask them... "Hey, why are this beautiful plants here?"

The woman in the desk just explain me that someone ask for them, but haven't come to pick them up, the person who order them, say will come 3 weeks ago.

So she say she'll be glad to sell them to me if I wanted as they was very expensive and they was shivering, that's why she take them away from the show cabinet.

The thing is I ask for the price and was 5,000 pesos "The Black Orchid" and 3,500 pesos the others... Each... About 285 dollars for "The Black Orchid"
There's black orchids?
And 200 dollars for the others.
It was a 6" pot with a proportionally sized plant, I'm broke, yet I want them.
I could maybe save them lol
Credit card advantages I guess...

But they say they can't give me any CITES or phytosanitary paperwork, she acctually had no idea what that things was, which is understandable, they usually just sell flower for decor and so.

If I buy them and someday... Someday I move to somewhere amazing, as I have been working hard to move but just haven't find a lawyer that doesn't suggest me to do something absurd.... But that is other subject. And I want to take my orchids with me... How would I do that?

They do give a receipt, but is just a thin paper that says 1 Flower 3,500.00... I ask her if the recipe could say 1 Orchid as they are orchids, but she just say that the software that does the inventory and stock, has them already labeled as 6" Seasonal Flower.

One orchid had palm like leaves, they say it was a "The Black Orchid" the other two was "Purple something", to me it seem to be a Laelia and the other was a "Tiger something" the leaves was long and stand upright.

Sorry to ask so many questions >///<
But they don't usually sell orchids, so this was a special something that someone ask for them, but didn't pick them up, could we say that my credit card will save them?

Thanks everyone.
