I would consider "rare plants" to be a bit like intelligence or manners.
They are both very pleasing and a welcome addition to our lives. They are
also available if you know where to look but sadly in our general day to day
lives they are becoming less common. So "rare plants" are plants that are
pleasing, a welcome addition to our gardens but like manners and
intelligence not necessarily easily found.
