I’d be interested to hear from anyone in Australia with a flowering size concolor for sale or if you could put me in contact with someone who has.
Regards and thanks, Mick

Hmmmmmm good question. I know people with seedlings but none with one in flower or near flower. I will ask around for you and let you know if I can find one.
Have you tried asking Nicky Zurcher in SA? He has quite a large collection of species..
You see them on eBay from time to time. There was one not long ago.

Thanks David...
But I can't compete with you on EBay. :wink: How's your Paph. Delrosi 'Bessie' HCC/AOS going? oke:
Mick
LOL. So it was you who made me pay all that money? oke: Well I think you were the winner in the end. The plant was nowhere near as big as the photo suggested and certainly not flowering size as advertised. When I got it I thought I can't believe I paid that money for a plant that may go nowhere. Having said that it has grown beautifully and put on 3 large leaves. So I'm confident this one will be right from now on. It seems to be pretty vigorous. But still probably another year before it matures. It is still only a single growth plant.
I recently picked up another awarded division of Delrosi from eBay which was way bigger and should flower soon. I hope I didn't cost you that one as well. Anyway the next one is yours as I don't need anymore.
I'm not after a concolor so any on eBay is all yours. I did pick up one on eBay from orchidsonnewbold. It had no roots and has been a bit of a battle. The parishii I got off him at the same time didn't have a root either. Never have bothered with him since.
eBay can be a lottery.

Sorry about that David, I didn't realise I was bidding against you until a couple of months after the auction. I had bought quite a few plants from that seller (all of which where well described and wonderfully healthy) and was checking her feedback for the details of one of the auctions.
I saw that you had won the auction and felt a little embarrassed but had a little chuckle to myself.
Anyway, I think the price was right as it was a division of an awarded plant.
I shake my head at the price seedlings can bring on eBay, 90% of the seedlings sell for 3 times the price that you can buy them from nurseries in Australia. There are some great deals at some of the nurseries, good sized seedling from $12-$16 and really good breeding too. I might buy a few and list them on Ebay just for the hell of it but then you would know my eBay user name. :ninja: lol
