The purile presentation was some low paid clerk or assistant manager trying to sell a few flowers. The anthropologist would value that baby button over the fact of the plant. What clicked to make that guy or mom or son but that plant for his beloved? How did she feel when she got it? There have been several noobies here who have joined because they are heart broken that their orchid has died, or looked dead. Lots of people get a pot of crysanhemums in the fall, not knowing many are perennials, hardy, and can be replanted. I agree it is a basic not being connected to the earth problem.
