Boy'o'boy. What has been going on here
Not what I thought I’d come back to!
CP,
1. Yes, Geoff and Andrea do grow some beautiful plants and are renound all over the word for there expertise (not just Australia).
2. Certainly no denying your comment. I am yet to see a healthy Nep that I did not like irrespective of colour, shape…. OR…. $$$.
Now....as for the rest of your comments, please don't try reading more into it than I intended. I certainly don’t believe I have been rude or insulting to ANYONE as you were to me. Very unnecessary!!!
My comment was
SIMPLY stating that at the lower $$$ end of the scale there are some truly beautiful Neps. That's all!
NOTHING about affordability.
NOTHING about anyone else's preferences.
NOTHING about what plants I hope to own when my ABILITY improves (not bank balance!).
In fact $$$ is one of things I have worried very little about since returning to this hobby. Within each person’s own means I doubt there is a passionate hobbyists here who worries about $$$ to much
In fact the only relevance that $$ has had in terms of the plants I have purchased is that in line with my level of experience I have mostly tried to stay with easier, hardier and more common plants to start with. Which in turn ‘tends’ to mean less expensive plants.
Now that my skills and facilities are improving I am gradually venturing up to more difficult and less common plants. Needless to say they in turn ‘tend’ to cost a bit more.
Sean,
N.glabrata or N. jacquelinae?
Admittedly I know little about those two and have not come across them on any of the lists from local suppliers. Are they available to us? Info on the web seems limited too.
Joe,
Not sure if you were confused by me or CP?
If me, I’m sorry you were confused by the way I worded my post. I'm not quite sure how else I should have worded it, however, I’m sure you now see the intent with which my comment was meant.
All the best,
Aaron.
