I saw this earlier this evening. I'm not really in the market for anitum, and that's way more money than I'm willing to sink into a plant. But it did catch my eye, even before I noticed the price.
I didn't realize there were legal/legit sources for anitum in the U.S. Last I read (probably on here) is that it was easy to skirt the restrictions by labeling plants as adductum v. anitum.
I've only purchased a parvi from that Ebay seller, but I did end up with a nice plant for a decent price. And his multifloral paph listings have been plentiful, and generally well received in terms of # of bids, so if I were looking for anitum, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one from him.

Your anitum looks great Justin! What mix are you using?
It grows in fine bark/perlite/charcoal mixed with a high proportion of sphagnum moss. i've grown this plant for a long time. it likes to stay wet at all times with low light.
They are not that hard to find. (Legally? Well..:rollhappy: At least they are on the CITES import list..
)That vendor , from Hawaii, seem to have good plants but pricey.

Justin, do you really think that the compot is straight adductum? I got a flask to and the leaves look mkre like anitum. They are that dark blue green. Just like your adult anitum.
is yours from chuck acker? when i ordered the flask i asked and he confirmed it was a selfing of one of his adductums he had gotten 20+ years ago, not anitum.
the anitum leaves are darker. one other main difference i can tell is the adductum leaves are clear green with very little "veining" whereas the anitum leaves are heavily veined. otherwise i can see why these are considered by some as color varieties of the same species.
