This is a quote that is a little more cynical but reflects what is going on in some plant circles today (especially aroids). I don;t know who said this, it was posted on one of several groups I belong to, and I am paraphrasing because I can;t remember it exactly. But it went something like this:
'I am at my limit buying $1000 plants' (meaning....a single plant costing $1000). 'Show me what you have for under $1000'
