Sometimes we can't be cheap as we normally are. I know how you feel and I rarely give in to an expensive plant purchase unless it's something I've never seen before. I think the 18.99 was worth it.

You liked it, and it made you feel good to bring it home, a feeling you needed that most likely will not go away for as long as the little darlin' lives; there is nothing wrong with that. As therapy goes, it is actually quite cheap! The money is so not the point.

I don't remember the name of the side street but you'll see Fiesta Farms the grocery store right at the corner. Fiesta Gardens is just a little further in). It's the best selection I can find in one place as someone living downtown who also doesn't drive or have access to a car. I frequent lots of other stores too but Fiesta has a bit of everything. Just don't go there for soil. Elaine: The large red plants are shiso. There are also 4 pots of different types of basil, zinnias, marigold like 'Lemon Gem' but larger, and lots of nasturtiums for my hanging basket. Everytime I go I fill up exactly one small box because it is all I can carry by hand. The echeveria is a tender succulent so I'll have to find a spot for it indoors over winter if I want to get value for my dollars.
