Well, one never knows the devil, even when his hand is upon your shoulder. 
This I learned the hard way i.e. H. Princess Diana. I have yet to put a 
single cent in my pocket over the sale of this hosta, its not that I dont 
want people to have the plant, I am not sure I want to become a part of the 
industry that has profited from her death.  I have given, donated and traded 
a few. In doing so I have tried hard to keep it out of the red light district 
and do my best in placing trust into the hands of others. However, a person 
who I held in high regards proved to be the person with his hand on my 
shoulder. Little did I know that this person was already making a deal behind 
my back for thier own personal gain. I heard wind of this later and 
discounted it as hogwash, pure garbage. Sadly I found out that this was truth 
not rumor. Hosta, the friendship plant? Better put, it is a plant that lets 
you know who your friends realy are.
