Spunky, thats interesting about gift plants, because Im a bit ambivalent on that. There is one hybridizer I buy from periodically, and he gives me a choice of what I want, which is nice. But for the most part, when I get gift plants, I may already have them, or dont particularly like them, I just flat out don't have the room for them. Some gift plants are such old ones that Im wondering if Im helping that seller clear out their garden!
What I do appreciate is extra fans of what Ive already bought. I so appreciate buying a double fan, and seeing a clump of 4 fans show up. Me likey that!!
