I'm getting more than a little tired of the bashing Mr. Sung is taking in
this thread. He has a few plants that he claims to be "all red "dentata"
vft (NOT all read vfts as mentioned above). It seems that the writer(s) did
not bother to carefully read Mr. Sung's posting to the group. I have no
idea if what he claims to have is legitimate or not. It really doesn't
matter. If you don't want one DON'T BUY ONE! If you do want one, then pay
the price. Supply and demand in action. If and when they are more
commercially available, they will cost less, just like computers, VCR's,
etc. have all come down in price. If Mr. Sung can't sell the plants at his
current asking price he will have to reduce the price (very likely). While
I will not be purchasing any of these "special" vft's in the near future, I
do applaud Mr. Sung for not attempting to "patent" the plant and in being
very open to selling to others that might wish to tc the plant for
commercial production. What more do you want him to do?...give away a plant
that just *might* be the next big vft variation?
Off the box,
