I went on e-bay to see if I could replace some of the Brugs I lost to grasshoppers this year and look at what I saw.

Have you seen this?
WOW I have purchased from him befor but never at that price *LOL*
I have seen Rothkirch go for much more than that and just recently. I have purchased from him as well and find him very reliable.
lol.. the final bid will be far more than that, trust me.
I don't know why it would go for more than that, it has been around for a long time. We had Rothkirch years ago and it did not seem to like our Texas Summers. We lost it and have not tried to replace it.
I think it is a challenge to propagate, so the price will go up.
Question for those that purchase online plants. . how big are they? I'm assuming they are rooted.. are they potted, too? or bagged. . *S*
The ones I have purchased have been removed from their pots and the rootball placed in a plastic bag to help them stay moist for the trip. The plants I have gotten have been two feet tall or under.
If you are buying cuttings, that is what you will get - a cutting with no roots and no leaves.
gotcha!! Thanks!
