Greetings from snowy Washington DC!

By the way, for the American readers of this newsgroup who are not familiar
with Poland's economic situation: in Poland wages are usually still much
lower than in the US, many of the prices are much lower thankfully as well
but not all unfortunately, so often Polish people earn much less than their
American counterparts and are expected to pay similar prices. $15 for a Phal
in the US is not at all unreasonable, but in Poland the price is expensive.
If you earn much less than the prices appear in effect much higher in
comparison. I remember when I came to Poland many items in the stores
appeared very inexpensive to me since I earn in the US, but my grandmother
would say that I had paid a high price.

Good for you Martha to get this nice orchid for a more reasonable price.
