Variegated insigne on ebay

[Marco]

Stumbled along when did my daily "neofinetia falcata" search on ebay.

already saw it. Did they mention how many growths per division?

 

[Justin]

cool plant!

I guess they are not selling the whole thing

 

[Ruth]

Curious, why are some of the leaves solid green?

I think someone here posted a bloomed one of this variety a while back. Definately interesting to see variegated paphs.

This definitely is a non-stable variegation type, so even though you may be getting a division that has one "veriegated" growth, it doesn't mean the next growths will be variegated at all...it could "outgrow" it, and just produce green growths from now on...

Soul-crusher!!!

Is there any importance of variegation at all? Less chlorophyll, weaker plant, but same flower as typical form. I never could understand the high price of variegated plants.

Only if you are into it.

Certain culture, mostly Far East, puts a lot of focus on the leaves rather than flowers on certain plants, but paphs are not one of them. Mainly Cymbidiums and Neofenitias.

I would have this paph just for a variety's sake as long as the flowers are not freaky.
The price is good, if the whole clump is up for sale.
If not, I'd rather buy cheap spider plants. hahaha

Who doesn't think variegation is cool!?
