Yeah, it was smiling to me so I bargained very hard - the price was 15$ and
I`ve paid half of it :))) greetings from snowy Poland Martha "J Fortuna" wrote in message news:s%ZId.10864$J6.1728@trnddc02... Matha, That is indeed a cute peloric Phal!

Greetings from snowy Washington DC!
By the way, for the American readers of this newsgroup who are not familiar with Poland's economic situation: in Poland wages are usually still much lower than in the US, many of the prices are much lower thankfully as well but not all unfortunately, so often Polish people earn much less than their American counterparts and are expected to pay similar prices. $15 for a Phal in the US is not at all unreasonable, but in Poland the price is expensive. If you earn much less than the prices appear in effect much higher in comparison. I remember when I came to Poland many items in the stores appeared very inexpensive to me since I earn in the US, but my grandmother would say that I had paid a high price. Good for you Martha to get this nice orchid for a more reasonable price. Joanna "samaki" wrote in message ...

From the World Factbook 2004
http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications...ook/index.html Poland: GDP - per capita: purchasing power parity - $11,100 (2004 est.) United States: GDP - per capita: purchasing power parity - $37,800 (2004 est.) Does this mean that a $15 orchid in Poland is equivalent to a $45 orchid in the US? Any economics majors out there?

Joanna Great Shopping and a good buy. There are lots of inter-generic crosses that appear similar to your 'oncid' from Colmanara Wildcat to Odontocidiums or Wilsonara Golden Afternoon. As a NOID I would just call it 'Martha's Smile' It is certainly a bright and happy flower. Not an economics major. But on the straight 11 to 37 comparison you come out with 11100 as 29% of the 37800 thus I would say a $15 orchid equals a $51 orchid here. We also have to remember that the Orchid is further down on the needs list. When prices are high and wages low. Think of your self as a subsistence worker here. Food, housing, clothing take a much higher percentage of your available dollars. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
