I paid 41 for the sf I got the other day and ended up being able to soak it in a large measuring cup. Paid 12- shipping and they paid less than 6-. Didn't get a bonus (but I don't need bonuses) ... Just want plants that look like they'll live. Anyway I put it in a pot and am moving it outside when the weather's good and inside when it's not. --Guess I'm saying you are not alone!
