Keith, I am a clearance rack junkie! I don't have any before pictures, because I'm never sure if I'll keep them alive
I should start taking pictures though - many of them just need some TLC and some time. I like picking them up because they're cheap, so I don't mind experimenting. Last fall, I picked up 4 African Violets for $1 each, and 2 are still alive and doing well. The other two, well, they didn't make it, but I don't feel so bad because they were just $1. I will also browse for marked-down orchids - I've found some great deals on those, just because they're done or almost done blooming.
Cinda, I have been getting more selective lately, as I also am running out of indoor room for houseplants. However, landscape plants on clearance are fair game
