I recently spent $65 for a 4 growth Mexipedium xerophyticum which is at this
point still alive as I've only had it for about 2 weeks

OK...this newsgroup has gotten too serious. Time for some fun.
What's the most you've paid for a single plant? What was it? Did it
survive and was it worth it?
For me I have a limit of $50 for a single plant and have a couple that I
have in the collection. Phal gigantea, an award Phal equetris keiki, and
a
peloric Phal Carmella Pixie that are all still in the collection. None of
them have bloomed yet but all are still alive.
Somewhere I saw an old ad from the 1960s ( think it was an AOS Orchid
Magazine ad) where plants were selling for $500+.
I'm sure some of you have some records out there....fess up!
Good Growing,
Gene
