I think so too but it’s a bit over priced. The seler has some other interesting things as well but she’s labeled too many things “rare” that just aren’t. She’s from my part of QLD too so it’s not a regional rarety either.

A pet peev of mine on ebay.

I hate it when things are overly promoted as rare or antique or whatever too.

I’ve got it Bubba. At least I think I still have it. It’s a very soft leaf plant that likes to be kept damp. It’s been kept pretty wet lately so I suppose it’s still there. It only grows to about 15cm high.

That is if it’s the grassy plant you’re focusing on and not the begonia.

Come to think of it, I have the begonia as well if you want some of it?

Yes it’s still there and doing fine. It is hiding behind a pot of Bambino bamboo. I can’t remember it’s name either so ID would be good for me as well.

Possibly Chlorophytum laxum ‘Bichetii’. I thought the flower was bigger in the ebay photo. :(

Have been looking at her site. A lot of the plants she calls rare are certainly not.
Also a lot of her plants can be bought at the B store cheaper and no postage.

I know. Gets my goat too.

I have bought from her before but I do my homework, and I’m not interested in buying this one, just curious.

I often just look through the plants. it’s a good way to learn the names of some of the more unusual ones.

Anyone know this shrub? It’s sub-tropical AFAIK so most likely Bubba might know.
