And look at how many FCCs Paph rothschildianum has. I think someone
mentioned that some judges think a plant has 'too many' awards and therefore no longer consider a plant judging. Well, obviously not. Same could be said for Paph armeniacum. K Barrett "Gene Schurg" wrote in message . net... Yeah...Look at Paph rothchildianum. An FCC awarded plant is outrageously expensive. Gene "TRAINMAN9" wrote in message ... and I have found that an award does not really change a plants value. Not for clonable plants but for Paphs and Phrags the value definately goes up. Depending on what the plant is newly awarded plants command a big premium. Some whites seem to demand an tremendous premium some well over 2k, while others are usually in the $250-500 range per growth. In time the cost does come down somewhat unless the plant is a good breeder. Prior to cloning most other awarded orchids also commanded premiums but with the advent of the cloning process and production of thousands of identical plants the prices came down to less than $25 for a mature plant and in some cases under $10. |
