Regarding the free shipping/higher prices, this is pretty common now on eBay. Sellers are offered incentives to provide 'free shipping' but this is passed on to the buyers with higher prices. Of course this is meant to target those who think they are getting a deal with free shipping, hence more revenue for eBay when unfamiliar buyers think they are getting hot deals. This also means no combined shipping discount for buyers. Not to rag on Kawamoto Orchids though, they have sent very lovely orchids at very reasonable prices and with this new strategy, the prices are still good and I wont refrain from purchasing orchids from them in the future. Another good mail order company for orchids is Seattle Orchids. I have been really thrilled each time Ive ordered from them. Here's my Cym. goeringii I got for way cheaper than any other place I can find online. This post was edited by musaboru on Fri, Apr 18, 14 at 17:16

I suspect you can expect your plant to top out at about maybe 18-20". Epi stamfordianum can get pretty big (~2'), and my LC trick or treat I used to have was a mature division at maybe a foot tall or so. Deflasked 2 years ago, its probably just entering its teenager phase, but as arthur mentioned some plants are able to bloom really young. Depends on the species involved and the growing conditions/quality of culture you provide.

The inflo. And with that 'The Floof Club' rides into the sunset. I looked them all over, some nice flowers seen here. Since there are about 500,000 catt alliance hybrids I think we must start a sequel. We probably just scratched the surface. Nick

Love bright orange orchids! I have a C. aurantica but it has not flowered jet, and a NOID catt. with clusters of deep orange flowers that just finished blooming.
