Would You Pay £8,000

For a house plant? I know there are some rare ones out there, and collectors who but them...but this is a bit OTT.

looks rather drab, doesn't it? I'd go for the monthly payment plan if I thought there was the slightest chance it would still be alive after 24 months.

... and there are 10 watchers, Pasta! Crikey, keep it away from me, I can kill a plant just by looking at it, no more how much care and attention it gets.

* matter, not 'more'

[pastafreak]

I'm pretty good at keeping plants alive. Thankfully plants with lots of white in their leaves don't appeal to me. I want green!

Can you smoke it?

[Bazile]

Would go well in a salad with a nice vinaigrette dressing .

[Mamyalynne]

That's a costly smoke or side dish.

Our Oxfam shop sold an LP of classical music for £600 once. If people want a specific item and have the money then why not!

I don't have anything expensive in the house, I discovered that ornaments can jump off shelves during the night. The cats told me that they actually saw the ornaments do this.

Love it Susan!

If I can't pronounce it or even spell it, I'm not interested...I wouldn't even buy a rasberry plant:)

[pastafreak]

The spelling police are watching you ^^^ ;)

[DarceyK123]

No one is seriously going to buy that off eBay!

The watchers are just being nosey to see if any mug does buy it, it wont sell.

[sanmac]

Really, pasta:)

I've just realised that's someone's hand and arm holding it, I thought there was something else growing in there.

doesn't sound as much fun as the item from hell - can't remember whether it was a washing machine or a fridge, but the description was a hoot!

Most I've ever paid was £25 for a rubber plant, a few years later Fred was being used as a litter tray, so no, won't be paying that lol

The most I have paid for a houseplants was about £150 for a massive weeping fig. First husband was a houseplant nut. He killed it. He loved them but had the horticultural equivalent of a death stare. Well it might have been our ginger kitten to be honest... Used to climb it, and leave it weeping sap. Said ginger kitten also used to nest in the very large ladder fern we had in the sitting room. His tabby sidekick just chewed all our palms to stumps when our backs were turned. Learnt the expensive way cats and houseplants don't mix.
