Texas Gardening: Sad and a bit mad too, 0 by bariolio

I was at Lowe's yesterday and they had two huge racks with their "sale" plants. They had many fig trees that were just dehydrated and about to die. I picked up a Celeste fig for $2.50 and immediately potted it. I hope it survives because I love those figs. But it just made me so mad that they didn't take care of those and several other large, nice plants. I understand that little 6-pack annuals may not make it. But those others were really nice and they were just letting them die.
Am I being too sensitive here?? :) If anyone wants a $2.50 fig tree, let me know and I'll see if they still have them--mostly had Kadota and a few Celeste. I also picked up 2 Asiatic lilies, which I've never grown. I may go back for more of them. $2. Janet
