roth album

[ehanes7612]

I wonder how much a Paph rothschildianum album would be worth? and how would you go about pricing it?

Roth album might easily go into the ten thousands of dollars. I personally would never pay so much for a plant but there are people out there who will.

Now the questions remains, why are you asking this.

ive wondered about how i would go about selling one if i happened to bloom one out, you know, along the lines of what i would do if i won the lottery...(my scenario involves a letter to my lawyer going out incriminating those i contacted about the plant, in the event i suddenly died and the plant was stolen)...hmm, wonder if the figure could reach 6 digits?

Hmmmm... Maybe you could have a look at this thread in another forum when kolo alba was still quite rare and follow what the owner did?

I got the same thought. I believe those claimed to be sanderianum or roth album are bascially not true.

Theoretically, you already know how to go about selling such a plant. The only thing is what you would want to do with it. i.e., if you would want to give it to a breeder for future distribution or sell to someone's private collection. The latter would get you a higher price but would be really restrictive.

I was actually googling about this a couple of weeks ago. Would it be possible that the roth breeding of today might yield a roth album even if the parents are not. Even a small percentage?

well, albums have to come from somewhere...even in the wild..i imagine albums are mutations that occur with normal adults in meiosis (pollen and egg production)...which are extremely unlikely random events but given the nature of artificial roth breeding in high numbers, that chance might increase from extremely unlikely to slightly less extremely unlikeliness

I saw this one at flickr. It says semi alba so not pure alba. Looks weird but I like!

LOL. Bad photoshopping indeed :rollhappy: Looks like he stuck a niveum lip onto a roth flower. There's no staminode..

 

[ehanes7612]
