Oh Lord, when will this end?????

Surprisingly the auction ended on the 5-spiker (275 starting price) with no bids. The 2 spike Kyokushou (175) ends in 20 minutes - no bids yet. The Tosamidori went for 132.50 (2.50 above starting bid). I actually gave serious thought to jumping on that one.
Hanagoroma at 95 has one bid, ending in 35 minutes and the Unkai (230), no bids, ends in about 50 mins.
Must. Stay. Strong. I will not bid.

Another Kyokushou, but this is the younger brother , so to speak, of our other listing. This plant has all the wing span of its elder brother, with long, upturned leaves and tiger markings, but it is a more modest 2 growths with one baby. The tsuke and undersides of the leaves have beautiful purple color that fades into lovely purple spots farther out on the leaves. In addition, there are two spikes coming on, so you should see flowers from the first spike in a few weeks and, together with the second spike, you could have flowers for at least a month!
With its extensive roots, this is a vigorous grower, so you can expect this guy to put on some size in the coming year!
