jimsned2 said:Good morning Folks, Yesterday I took a ride to the outer Miami area in search of $2.00 orchids and low profile pots for a few of my adenium. We (my neighbor and I) stopped at a garden shop and saw this beautifully proportioned ceramic pot shaped like a turtle, it had adequate drain holes which is difficult to fine in any of the ceramic pots and the tag I thought read $10.00. It was out in the very hot sun and weighed about 15 lbs. I picked it up and almost dropped it because it was so hot. I carried it about 20 yards to the sales desk and the clerk informed me that the cost was $110.00. Rain had washed off the first 1, but on very close inspection I saw he was right. I just gotta remember that if it sounds too good to be true, then it isn't . I just thought you might get a chuckle out of my embarrassment. My search goes on.

Hahah
aha that sounds like me. I never wear my glasses. You should have insisted in $10. The one was washed away? That makes it $100 off from MOTHER Nature!
