Amazing, just think of how many hungry families that could feed!  I am a real plantaholic but couldn't or wouldn't do that.

Thought this might be of general interest to the group. The article,
published on 8/25/20, describes the current market for plants with
variegated leaves. This past weekend, someone in New Zealand paid the
equivalent of USD $5,291 for a variegated Rhapidophora tetrasperma (family
Araceae) on an auction site. It's not clear whether some of the examples
cited in the article reflect naturally occurring or chemically-induced leaf
variation.
