Well, I'm fairly new
to this list and the IAS. I saw the prices being paid for this plant and while I
would love to own one, I believe it's a major waste of money. Don't get me
wrong, I love my plants and will pay what I think as very high prices ($60) for
them. Not being a very competitive person I can't see why I would pay so much
for a plant. But, if I did have one I would love to share it and make it
available to those that cherish it.I never look at any life as being an
investment but an honor to have experienced things that most people don't get
to. While I know that wild collected plants are needed to establish a plant in
the culture, I believe all efforts should be made to reproduce it for any
further sale or use as a specimen
I really understand
everyone's feelings on this issue and I must say this has been the most civil I
have experienced compared to other list I'm own. So, from a newcomer,
congratulate yourselves on a very passionate but well behaved
discussion.
Now, as far as
tissue culture is concerned, I really don't much like it but, I wouldn't pass up
a specimen of this species produced by in this manner.Congratulations to those
that own it but remember you can't possess a living thing but you can be it's
benefactor
