Uhhhh I don't think they got the memo.

I'm curious to see what it sells for. Shhh, don't tell Ron but they also selling a vietnamense x roth. Doubt he's got that one yet:>

me neither, wonder if this could in any way be legal?

I'd put money on no. From what I understand, some of the Asian vendors have no qualms about selling flasks of these in the US.

 

[Bolero]

Yeah but the seller is located in LA.

Well at very least the plants appear to be artificially propagated (and of course the roth x vietnamense is). Compared to ChineseGreen who sells collected plants.

I don't think shipping to HI and AZ his his/her biggest problem right now.

How does that plant "appear" to be artificially propagated?

 

[Ernie]

It appears to be a pathetic specimen regardless of where it was propagated.

Yeah, it's a pretty crappy looking seedling.

The size and cleaness of the leaves. Plus he also has vietnamense x roth, most taiwan vendors would carry flasks of both.

Hanginaum is hard to grow, in my opinion, and they often look pathetic. Or at least mine do, until they die.

[likespaphs]

hmmm... the auction has ended.

 

[smartie2000]

no bid...
and it looks quite crappy
Is it even a true hangianum, the leaves are so narrow

I would love to own a hangianum though

 

[likespaphs]

i want a hangianum too....
there had been a bid on it, i'm pretty sure. don't know what happened to it.

 

[Renegayde]

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

Yeah, I felt compelled to warn them about the legal status of Paph. hangianum, and sent them a message this morning. Don't know if that's why the pulled it, but it's possible. I was assuming that they bought a flask of hangianum from Taiwan and thought that they were legal, since they were from flask... it's a confusing system, so it seemed like the right thing to warn them.

WOW! Even if you got it for starting bid it would have been $30.00 for that "Pitiful..I just crammed it in a pot" looking specimen.
