I can certainly appreciate you wanting to see the plant and perhaps, even see it in bloom. I know you, and certainly those in Florida have ample opportunity to visit orchid shows and get good prices (sometimes) from the vendors there. I, and perhaps most others, don't have much opportunity for that. Heck, some folks even live near brick-and-mortar orchid nurseries. How great that would be.

Speaking of brick-and-mortar nurseries. Those are what I really compete with, if you want to call my tiny, cottage business a competitor to anyone. Sticking tongue out I usually can and do sell exactly the same plant as they do but for far less.

Here's an example that I just happened yesterday. Someone was looking for a specific orchid that I have and they told me they found it for sale at "X" nursery for $45 plus shipping. He contacted me and asked whether I had the plant and if I did, to describe the plant. This nursery is one of the top ones, always with good quality but pricey plants. You would recognize the name immediately and probably would not hesitate purchasing a plant from them. I have the exact plant, and I mean the same number of pseudobulbs and the same number of new leads, that I sell for $24.95, plus shipping. My shipping is also $4.00 less than that nursery. Their plant ships bare-root; mine ships in a mesh-pot.
