I was just thinking about that today. Since I don't get AQ or wildcatt I
don't know how old an award is.

I do remember that Charles E. is an older award....So I guess from your
response that a new FCC on roth is worth more than a 10 year old FCC. Makes
sense to me.

Yeah...Look at Paph rothchildianum.

An FCC awarded plant is outrageously expensive.

Some of the older clones like Charles E. are more reasonable but the newer
ones
are still pretty high. I wonder how much "Janet" or "Mt. Milas" go for?

Not necessarily. I would guess that part of it might be that there is just more
of it around or that better examples or breeders are available and command a
higher price. I remember when Winston Churchill clones were over $500 a growth
or Hellas in the $250-300 range. Now both can be had for $150 for the former
and $50-60 for the latter even though both are still regarded as good breeders.

Some plants never seem to lose their appeal or value such as Skip Bartlett
clones and Dusty Miller. They are still highly regarded and very expensive.
