I know what you mean Debbie. When my friends say "Aww that is pretty I want one" I cut it right there and hand it to them with a pot with soil and tell them "There you have one:.
They have told others do not say you want one of her plants she will give you pot and soil and send you on your way. They do know when I visit them I will be looking for the plant so they usually root it and have it around for me to see. If they do not have the plant they know I am going to have a discussion as to why they do not have the plant. That is the cost of being my friend and asking for my plants.
