Or the jockey's colours - salmon with black spots. Any ideas on coming up with a flower that colour Andy?

You know Gary, I think that's doable. We have some very unusual colors coming along and as I've always stressed, color is everything!

How are you going with the syndicate, I would be in if I had a spare half a million. I assume you will have Mr Cym's share or two by now!!

Black Caviar's half brother just sold for a new Australian record of $5 million this afternoon as a yearling, and the syndicate is Australian so the horse will stay here.
Wonder if Nigel got on board.

I was held up in the bar Gary. I was prepared to go to 6. Sabre, I'll transfer your million back into your account tomorrow.

Let down again! Mr Cym had his $1m on the line too, and had even obtained the noms. for the Breeders Cup.

There is some relevance here to Cymbidiums - I can see the day when a Cym seedling costs much more that a clone. OK not your run of the mill cross, but cutting edge hybrids these days are so good that there is every chance of obtaining a superior plant that is keenly sought after.

I like your lines Sabre, it is a bummer that I can't take some back to Tasmania.

I don't believe you were sitting there with the 6mill and you were caught up in the bar - what were you drinking man!! You missed the chance of a lifetime.

How do you guys in Tassie get hold of orchids these days, only chance I see is if the nursery you are dealing with is prepared for the paperwork needed by your quarantine police and then you as the customer end up paying through the nose.
Black Caviar is running again this weekend in Sydney.
