I sold a blooming size one, in sheath (though no buds at that time) 7" pot
multi-lead plant this summer for $49.00. If it is not an awarded clone
these bids passed into supreme foolishness somewhere around $50. If it is
an awarded clone and it is in a 6" pot or smaller, beyond $100 is silly.
And does anybody doubt that I *know* supreme foolishness and silly when I
see it? I have to shave it's face every morning. On the other hand, I
suppose it is worth what its purchaser will pay. cah-ching.
I have a 10 to 12 or so lead GIGANTIC amethystoglossa plant in a 14 or 16
inch wrought iron-esc basket in low bud. It is very vigorous and can have
15 or more flowers on some inflorescence, although the shape is probably not
award worthy. I can feel buds in about half the sheaths. It will be in
full bloom in about February here. I would consider selling it if anybody
offered $400 but it might hurt in a betraying-a-friend kind of way.. I
wouldn't think twice if anybody offered $500. I feel like a fool for
keeping it around so long because it is too big and soon it will need to be
divided and repotted and it will take a solid day of work and probably a
chainsaw to get it done.
Sorry NO shipping.
I have an 30 or 40 lead Lc golden Girl 'Miami' AM/AOS (This clone has half a
dozen CCMs) I would sell this monster for half the above without blinking
because it tried to kill last spring when it snapped it's 200 lb. jack chain
and dropped to the floor not 3 feet in front of me. (I am not kidding) It
too is covered in sheaths and blooms in February. Sorry no shipping and I
make no promise this plant will not try to hurt anybody who owns it. It
needs repotting too...and it bites. Bring a large van. It will not fit in
a car.
