Nick it's gorgeous. I would love to have one of those. Do you think that the person who has 100 of these might also have the right conditions for my Miltoniopsis (posted in the orchid forum yesterday) and might be interested in trading?

He would not part with any of them. They'll bury him with those things.

Bea, They are expensive because they cannot be mericloned, so all you can buy are seedlings or divisions of plants. I remember when I purchased Winston Churchill 'Indomitable', cannot remember the exact amount paid but it was an arm and a leg.

Lucky, I had it for many years before I managed to bump it off.

In the ancient times (about forty years ago) they were the major part of exhibits at Winter shows. Sadly, they have declined in popularity.
