That beats the price I paid for my Paph sanderianum flask by (plus) $50. I
got a selfing of a Japanese clone labeled 'Maki' that came to me by way of a
friend's trip to the Japanese Orchid Grand Prix. I would say these have a
decade or more to go before blooming. I am pretty sure the price bubble on
blooming size Paph sanderianum plants in the USA is about 8 years from
bursting. :-)

I once spent $250 on a big division from Blc Malworth 'Orchidglade'
FCC/AOS,
which is still alive. I spent $240 on a division of Paph Tommie Hanes
'Althea' FCC/AOS, and it has a pod hanging. How about flasks? I got a
bottle of Paph sanderianum for $475, and they're only about 8 years from
blooming! *LOL*
