is it a gray lavender, a lavender lavender, a pink lavender, hypo? Stripe? Etc? I think it's best to take a look at the specific individual and decide if it is the specific one right for you., and to ignore the price until you find the one which fits your needs. Some people feel any gene will do; others are looking for something visually specific, especially if there are long term breeding plans/goals. I've paid $10.- to $300.- for lavenders.
