On a trip to a local garden center this morning for a pot, I found one of my wishlist plants! I'm so excused could not believe this little rhaphidora tetrasperma was just waiting for me!!! Of course some of that moss will be removed & I'm not overly keen on the pot, but at least she's in a nursery pot and that can be easily changed. Had to share my super Saturday find!! Swoon 😍

And I apologize for the incorrect name - autocorrect & over excitement got the best of me. 🙃

Congrats on your find! I know the feeling of almost disbelief when a rare find like that plant pops into view, Happened to me years ago. I saw a picture of a milk bush (Euphorbia Tirucalli) back in the days before you could order anything online. Was always wanting one and when I saw one at my nursery years later, my eyes almost popped out of my head! Scooped it up and haven't seen any since. Still doing great and gets a lot of comments. Enjoy your find!! Beautiful plant.

These are pretty common in Florida and used to be really cheap. We call them 'Mini-Monsters'. But the advent of the aroid craze has resulted in that they aren;t cheap anymore.

This one was $30 with a heavy duty pot & a $5 coupon 😁 I was very surprised. I've seen them online for the same price for a cutting smh I could never justify that no matter how badly I wanted one. Supply & demand I suppose.
