Wanted to ask all of you, I went to the tea room emporium and she had the strangest flower, with a bottom fibre, can't explain it, she had it in a beautiful glass container, anyway asked her what kind of plant it came from and she went on to tell me it was and I'll never at this point be able to explain it...but it's hand tied with green tea spices...you make your tea and then the remainder of the pod is put into water and vinegar I believe and it grows about 8"..strangest thing I've seen..$2.99 for each pod, so I had to have 2..should have my tea tonight so I can let that bud grow...sometimes there are up to 3 different colors in the flower..have any of you heard of this???? magic I guess...I'm not one for different tea's..could alway throw the tea out and keep the pod...
