I think it cost me US$6 in Thailand - visiting the nursery current price is not much more if you go and fetch them ! I chose my plants in flower - my CITES permit just said 40 Vanda hybrids , or to be precise it said one Vanda hybrid, giving me freedom to pick and choose. I had 40 permits ( plus the same for Dendrobiums and the same for Cattleyas , and 5 copies of each permit, all different colours, intended for different Government snoopers, all folded zig-zag computer print-out fashion , all say A4 size ( If you don't do International Paper sizes, say 12 inch x 10 inch). This made a block of paper approaching 2 inches thick. My plants got into two of the nursery standard big boxes ( two trolleys at the airport, one pushed the other pulled ) - all my scientific kit and spare sox in a large back-pack. Went through the red channel " Something to declare" at the home airport - CITES in hand .... they had all gone to lunch... so I walked through , never got stopped, ended up putting the paperwork in the recycling skip.
So much for bureaucracy.
But if you want Vandas , that's what I recommend . BTW the price for good Vandas in UK now ? I bought Ascda Tubtim Velvet in August, a meristem which I expect you know. Lovely plant, about 10 pairs of leaves very broad and each leaf over 12 inches long, now with two spikes sand a few flowers open - look to be about 4 inches or more across. Unforunately some buds on both spikes have blasted ( so I'll wait for the next flowering to dazzle you - hopefully) which may be because the spikes had grown too near the glass, and we have had a spell of very cold weather , down to minus 5 in the garden - Even if the inside of the greenhouse stays above 15, it has maybe been down to 10 or below next to the glass. Whatever ; the plant cost me US$50 ( £30 sterling). I can't afford to buy many at that price !
