Default Re: Post ONLY if getting "Siam Red" from Agri-Starts

Terry, while I see your point, remember that Brian is the one with the plants, and it should be his decision to include or exclude anybody. What difference does it make if somebody joined just for this offer? Can you blame them? If it brings more folks to this forum to share their knowledge, experience, and wisdom, then I'm all for it!
Besides, I think that the more people that have this plant, the better for everyone else growing it. When there is an opportuntity to make a rare plant become widely available, I think everyone wins. That is, except for the folks who were going to try to make a fortune off of it on eBay (and I'm not talking about Brian, I'm talking about people who sold this plant on eBay before it is becoming available from tissue culture. I'm also NOT condemning those same people for selling them on eBay! In fact, I'm a firm believer in working the market, and getting the most that you can from a product! It is called capitalism and entrepreneurship!). A plant as striking and beautiful as this one should be in every banana enthusiast's yard!
