*raises hand* oh, this is me perfectly. I'll see a new plant in the
nursery and then want to buy it (in some cases I have). Today i saw some
curcumas (a type of ginger) on sale for half off, but being a poor college
student I had to stop myself from buying them, even though they'd be about
3 dollars US each. I think this is why i think the garden is pretty
eclectic, even if I also think it looks unified (i do try to go with a
theme). Although now i'm thinking they'd be a nice addition, their foliage
mirroring that of the cannas.
