Previously bloomed Phrag. kovachii for sale at less than a billion $ (not by me)

[silence882]

Despite having no room or funds for any new slippers, I was browsing my favorite orchid sales sites and found that Chuck Acker is selling a couple previously bloomed Phrag. kovachii for $185 and $250, depending on pot size. I haven't contacted him about them, but thought some folks might be interested. His plant list is available here:

Very tempting. Thanks for sharing.

I've been eying the plants at Piping Rock for awhile, but my concern is that I can't really afford to buy one of these and then accidentally kill it. Since I can't guarantee that I wouldn't screw it up, I've been very good so far about resisting temptation to buy one.

For now, I'm happy to stick with kovachii primaries. Once I'm completely comfy with them, I'll consider it.

Now that I've seen this thread, I'm more tempted than ever. But I rationalize not buying one by telling myself that these plants will go to breeders and expert growers.

Not interested in the big Pk, there's something better there. Thanks.

Nice list! Wish I felt more moneyed!

Seems I'm safe - no international shipping!! I wouldn't choose the kovachi either, but the list is tempting!

i'm not looking at any list :rollhappy:

i've killed enough expensive orchids and many intermediate that it's curbed my urge to buy more for a while

Nice, but I would more happy with pollen anyone know where I could get some.
Would love to cross my beauty with or anyone has besseae or besseae flavum pollen at the moment.

That's why I started trading pieces of my select plants with other growers(that I know will keep them alive) a piece of their select plants. I am out of 'buying'' mode' for a bit, unless it is something I ''need'' to have.

I'm sure the plant is still a baby. My Pk is only 8"ls but, the second growth is about 10" ls now. my guess is it probably gonna bloom on 2nd or 3 growth.
