oh my god, I did not see these posts before.
I just take a quick look at the old posts followed your suggestion,
in that case
They are all top notch plants, real awarded clones ,
the plants must mean a lot to him, and must cost a lot for him to acquired originally.
We all know that as collectors ourselves how we treasure our collection, and maybe whatever situation he is in right now does not give him time to care for them properly and he just wants to see that "his children" are placed with extremely good and qualified growers.
I understand, you would not give them to someone who would over water them the next day
John and Hien, I get what you're saying, and I "felt" the same too when I read it, but take a look at his other photo thread... he said(@his plants) "I am willing to let them go gratis to a good home and willing to pay for shipping". There might be other conditions but based on what he said on the other thread, they are free. Take a look at the list of plants too, fantastic!..........
@John M: perhaps it is too good to be true but it won't hurt to ask for more details since you are in Canada. If it is not really free, he should not mislead people by saying "let them go gratis".
Note: I can't link that thread.
