missO-Line's recommendation

I bought one at Monteverde Costa Rica for 8 dollars. They are all over the place here, charging 30-40$ per orchid is STUPID.

The process of growing orchids like this probably costs them all of 20 cents. You whack a piece of leaf off, cut that leaf into as many tiny pieces as you can, and put it on petri dish gel with some nutrients. This is the same way most of our African violets are grown in the US. It literally costs them pennies.

Way to rip people off!

FYI, you have to "transplant" the orchid plant into a growing medium in a pot, not another test tube, so the geek factor will be lost eventually.

I didn't think it was possible for a plant to be geeky but this one is. It's great!

Amazing, futuristic and kind of creepy.
In Vitro brings the mental image of a fetus and a fetus-flower is...well...gross.

...ha, which is not to say that I'm not running out to buy like TEN. Right now.
