    Everybody interested in orchid history probably knows this plant, sold by Lager and Hurrell for $5000 in 1910. The seller wanted $10000 for this plant. The auction ended/was closed and reopened. It is reputed that only one non-virused division exists in the world. And this ain't it. In fact, there is no way I know of you could prove that it's the real deal.

    First auction:

    New auction:

    Nothing. I'm not big on being scammed. But I would have bet a lot of money that you were gonna post that exact question.
