I talked to people and found that many of my friends and associates wanted cuttings (and had as much success with them as I did) It occurred to me that there are a great deal of people out there that relish unusual and odd plants but the mainstream Plant distributors only carry "Safe" plants, Yet the dealers who deal in unusual make a killing in the plant business. How are People supposed to know about these Floral finds unless they are exposed to them.
According to the report “State of the worlds plants”by researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the United Kingdom, there are about 391,000 species of vascular plants currently known to science. Of these, about 369,000 species (or 94 percent) are flowering plants.
By scanning through several plant databases, including the the Plant List, the International Plant Names Index and the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, the team found that 391,000 vascular plants are currently known to science. Moreover, about 2,000 new plant species are discovered or described every year. Many of these newly described are already on The endangered list
