    These scams make me worry about education standards in this country. Just look at the reviews on Amazon. 10 reviews saying "these are clearly fake only a moron would think this is real" and then several "Five stars. Really happy with these!" that are clearly fake reviews but there are genuine reviews in there from prople who think they've actually bought things like seeds that grow the cartoon plant from Super Mario :#

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    wild edges - I particularly like the one that said  'not a real plant amazon, pull your finger out'  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I just picture the guy who bought some checking his plant pot every day waiting for his super mario bonsai plant to sprout with innocent optimism like a child with a newly planted acorn :#

    Does the stitching grow naturally or do you add that afterwards?  :D
