Frillylily said:I'm wondering why Wilds has started selling some of the dl potted? I have not really heard of that before. I have not ordered any but I understand they are fairly small pots? Do they sell tissue cultured dl? For instance on page 2 they list Biker Babe as potted for $12.50 and claims that many catalogs list it for $70. What is up with that? I noticed this on several of their listings. So if that is the case, how can they sell a $70 plant for $12 ?! Something doesn't add up to me. I have heard TC dl is not a good thing, but that is what I am thinking in the back of my mind , anyone have comments on this?

The hybridizer of BIKER BABE has it listed for $70 on their website and it is a 2012 intro so I don't see how they can have enough to sell otherwise for $12.50 unless it was TC. I'm not saying they do but even I wouldn't have enough of a stock of this plant to sell it at that price and I can get good increase pretty quickly here.
I was going to copy and paste what it says on their website but it won't let me. On their website it says here http://www.gilberthwild.com/DA... that they pot their newer intros in 3 x 3 x 3.5 pots and the SF are the size of a thumb and DF are the size of two fingers. They may be potting these and they may be that small because they are tissue cultured but like was said they probably wouldn't tell you if they did. Why would they start potting them when all the rest are grown in the field.
