especially when a group of gardener's friends meet up for a plant shopping.
I for one had told myself that I didn't want to buy anything.
And been kept telling myself - I'm not buying anything - over and over again...
Until 2 of them bought me gifts. (Syngonium podophyllum variety & Begonias)
That's when the "non-buying" code suddenly got broken
I end up buying a fancy Golden Hahnii, a Persian Shield and a Variegated Hoya.
I did eye for the African Violets (proved a challenge for me)
and manage to collect all the dropped off leaves for propagation
after a nice sweet talk with the nursery owner.
We were there for the whole morning..
Checking, chit-chatting, discussion all about plants..
And I guess it was a good haul for the rest of them.
I for one - still regret why I didn't get some of them.
(especially the Earthstar - which I did not have)
And few other variegated plants..
Well - it was an enjoyable trip regardless.

It shows how pricey a waterlily can get.
