Southern California Orchid Collection for Sale

[epiphyte]

Yesterday I visited a lady in Santa Ana, CA who is looking to sell her orchid collection. She's had her collection of orchids for over 10 years and does not know how to divide orchids so most of her collection consists of specimen orchids. Off the top of my head here's what I noticed...

Brassavola nodosa (2)
Dendrobium aggregatum (2)
Dendrobium loddigesii (2)
Dendrobium nobile (1)
Dendrobium speciosum (2)
Dendrobium wassellii (1)
Expensive SBOE Laelia, Cattleya and Brassavola hybrids (7)
Laelia anceps hybrids (3)
Laelia purpurata hybrids (2)
Myrmecophila (1)
Neofinetia falcata (1)
Oncidium types (3)
Vanda (4)

She's selling her collection because she's working full time know and doesn't have time to give her collection the attention she feels they deserve. I'd say she's looking to sell the orchids for around a quarter to half of their value and would only sell to experienced orchid growers.

If you're in the area (or will be) and are interested in going half on any of the above orchids let me know.

I live 20 minutes from Santa Ana and would be very interested in splitting with you. Is she selling the entire collection at one price or does she have them priced individually? Maybe even three ways with jbigio??

JUST to throw things out there - what are you most interested in having for yourselves?? I would most like the Laelia(s), Oncidium(s), Catt(s), and a few of the Dends. Of course we can split these as well.

I will be going on a trip for three days leaving tomorrow. Think about it and we can compare thoughts in a few days. -Connie
