Perhaps these are good deals? The prices are based on two things.
The average price I see for a given plant and how much I value a
given plant. If the prices don't seem fair, buyers can certianly
ask for better descriptions and cancel if they are not interested...
The plants are almost all very large and well worth the money. :)

I wish I could find prices like that... I have seen N.mad. for
sale at those prices, but that's the only Nep so far and it was not
so big, only in a two inch pot.

Boo! Scared you, huh?
I'm not commercial but if I was I'd be out of work or job ;)
I spent way more money on my plants than, than I could even think
about making back (never mind turning a profit). My prices are
higher than some and lower than other, and most of those places
charging higher prices have to make a profit, course of. I sure
like ordering from them either way though.
