That's a terrific price for an SDC of that size. Our local HDs get their plants from Canadian nurseries. We'd be lucky if they sold them for less than $7 here. 2 weeks ago, I tried to buy a couple of them from Lowe's, they didn't have a price tag on them, but they were in the $5.98 section. So, I asked the cashier to scan it and it said $13.98! And the plantin the picture is probably 25% bigger. So that's a really, really great deal!

Love your Avatar - Magnolia Coco! I have several of them, also. But they don't bloom as much as Michelia Alba. And blooms don't stay long, either.
