  [Aroid-l] Anthurium seeds
From: honeybunny442 at yahoo.com (Susan B) on 2007.10.25 at 04:42:53(16605)
about this. I can't tell you how many dollars have padded my pockets for rare seeds that I would like to see fall into someone's hands who knows what they are doing. But, no. They go to Susie in Middle America who has a few dollars to spend and wants something different than her spider plant.

Susie in Mid America is everyone's favorite buyer. There is a saying in the US- "Midwest Nice" because we are, well, nice. Non assertive. Non confrontational.
Go ahead, you can say it- Stupid. a "sucker"
We let sellers sell us expensive, crap plants that are half dead, and let them talk us into keeping them. Even if we have other plants like it and we know the plant is no good. If it is a bulb plant, it can linger for a long time in a terminal state before it is DEAD DEAD. Then it is too late to get money returned.

Right, let the buyer beware!! ha.

A woman on another email list grew a Wollemi for 8 months and when she killed it, demanded another plant from the seller- and got it!
She was NOT from the Midwest.

Susan (don't call me Susie) from the Midwest.
