Hiya CA. Gold

Has anyone purchased a CA Gold from Jeff Earl on E bay in the past?

I purchased one from him directly a few years ago, it didn't make it. It was a nice size plant but poorly separated with hardly any corm, I'd imagine this doesn't happen all the time though.

I just bought his first two of the year and two should be enough
The first pup arrived a week or so ago and is in the shade in the greenhouse . It's doing fine and will be growing new roots as we speak.
I guess just keep checking his ebay site for his next one.
I'm happy to have the real McCoy from the source.
Later
Steve

I bought one from him in Sept of 2006. It was a small sword pup. It is now in flower.

Steve,

I wouldn't mind working out a deal with you if you get any pups to spare off of your CG.

I'm sure it will do well. I've seen Steve's plants and he does a great job with them. His that is flowering right now should put out pups as part of the natural cycle.
