No lie. I often think how much time I could waste wandering around Mike's property given the amount of time I spend looking at my relatively tiny collection.

My family thought there was something wrong with me when I was younger because I'd spend all day staring at plants. Only you guys truly understand, LOL

SO I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE!!!

I am wondering what is the largest purpurea may be like. Post if you have gigantic ones. To be handy better compare it with a dollar bill.

By the way, do you guys have mushrooms growing in your planters? I've recently discovered that I do.
