Isn't it fun to see something we have in such abundance selling for prices like that? I've just been pulling Lygodium, the 'Japanese climbing fern' which I see listed sometimes for ten dollars or more. Never planted it--guess the birds did. And butterfly ginger, which I love but could do with less, and that awful Rice Paper Plant.
