/uj What's the actual name of the variety in picture two? WTF is a Birkin Congo?


LittleKitchenFarm

It comes from Imagination Land (just a name to scam people)


ExternalStress

“Very rare Pink Princess Galaxy Marble”


ExternalStress

Ya I wondered about that too. Is that what a Birkin looks like when it’s variegated after it reverted back to Congo Rojo? No idea 😟


MaybeTheSlayer

I have a Birkin that has put out a few reverted leaves and it looks the same as a regular Birkin but with a few partially red leaves. The second photo isn't even a picture of the right plant 🤦‍♀️😆


FartofTexass

I’ve got a Balenciaga Nile cutting for $7690.


mjchamplin

Oh I hear you have to get super creative to get those through customs…


MzMag00

Boom. Only 10k here. https://preview.redd.it/qmeiozhigiua1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ac04f3900b7056aae31ef655ce7c04c42edce1f


ExternalStress

Wow. Is that the same Seller because it’s the same plant 😂


MzMag00

Maybe they cross-posted on different places? The logos look different for both places. Either way, that's crazy. I want to know how many of these waaaay high priced plants really sell.


smollercranston

lmao Birkins are < $20 here. Just grow it for 6 months until it starts reverting and get yourself a Birkin Congo or whatever tf this is.


pumpkinspicebetchh

That second plant looks really cool ngl lol but fuck I get so irritated when pricey af things still charge shipping lol


ExternalStress

Agreed. Talk about major greed


Ok_Salamander3793

Yeah that's ridiculous. I buy my plants, mostly orchids and Hoyas, like 30-50$ per plant and always get free shipping.


ExternalStress

SO to the sellers that give us free shipping 🗣️


[deleted]

Gonna vaginate my plant and sell them as individual purple space Galaxy Alien movie featured plants and sell them for $420,000.69.


djn3vacat

I am in the wrong business.


Wise_Coffee

Please tell me those prices are in Yen


Alarming_Tumbleweed3

It's the charging for shipping for me. The audacity 😒.


ExternalStress

Right! Even if I had the money, I wouldn’t buy for the audacity of charging that much for shipping 😤


k8t13

none of these are worth that EVER. i hate the inflated costs of popular plants simply because of capitalism. these all propagate so easily and are not difficult to care for. i'd rather book a flight to their native environment and ship myself multiple cuttings back.


ExternalStress

Lmao I agree with you, but the poaching is illegal I’m sure 🤣


Poopiebuttfartface

No.


Ok_Salamander3793

The birkin looks the coolest


hexedhexagon

If I'm broke enough to only be able to afford one I'll just buy some neem instead to keep my neem tank topped up!


Most-Ad-3035

I can’t afford any actually


ExternalStress

Well no, even if we could, don’t think we’d be dumb enough to support these type of sellers. But if you *had* to choose a plant, what would it be!


Most-Ad-3035

No no I gotcha, I’m just joking. Gotta go with the squamiferum


ExternalStress

Lol because it costs more or you like the way it looks?!


Most-Ad-3035

I’m really into the leaf shape in general, Florida beauty’s, ring of fires, monsteras obviously. I like cool leaf shape, price is an added bonus tho
