This is the same cross that CH is offering for $500 5/flask. Mr. Kao must have good germination on this.

Same flask I bought from CH. Plants were very small in the flask though.

Heck no! For that price I could rent a C-6 and fly myself there!

I saw it too, but to much for me.

You can buy a hole collection for this price.

Did you see the tonsum alab and the kolopakingi alba too.

Yes, but albas are not my playground, esp. not at those prices!! I prefer a solid bella or concolor !! Jean

Oh, the kolopakingii album isn't expensive any more. Five years ago I got an offer to buy one flowering size for 5000 Euros. Lets wait 10 more years and you will get it as cheap as venustum album nower days.

Me too! As long as the color is solid white!

I sold a topperi alba to someone that is selling them now. I guess topperi is a synonym for kolopakingii. They came out of a batch of tipo plants that threw about 5% albas. I got $1500 for that plant; looks like it might pay off. I really like them, but they get HUGE. Really nice, saw a few of them with 10+ flowers. I personally think that for a plant that big the flowers are really small.

Was it Sam!?!

 

[limuhead]

A good friend of mine gave me the plant. I bloomed it and put it in a display at a local orchid show here in Hawaii. The judges didn't have a clue; it was labeled topperi alba, they had some discussion about it and couldn't come to a decision. Apparently someone thought it was mislabeled. I took a few pictures of it and a few months later my friend called me and said he had a buyer for $1500. I brought the plant back and the rest is history. I'm not saying that the plant was used in the sibling cross that he is offering, but I am not saying that it AINT my plant...

 

[NYEric]

Once again, "a good friend...". Hey, you need to introduce me to your friends too!!

Not bad. The prices on the charles and tonsum are a little steep.
