I suppose it is Enthusiastic! Haha
I must be missing the point here. Someone correct me if wrong, but this plant is overpriced by $785.

I think the decimal point needs to move four spots left, that would be a more appropriate valuation!

Good money if you can get it tho! [GUARDSMAN]

Not just a Crassula. It's a "Rare Bonsai". :palm:
It's kind of like "Home Made" these four words always raise $$$$$$$$$$$. The old adage, a fool and his money.... :shake:

Did you see the other quality plants from that seller....agave and yucca...?? We're in the wrong game! .....well it is the silly season I suppose. Pitty help the budding bonsai artist that gets a yucca (well named) for Chistmas! They will need a pair of safety glasses if they want to spin a yucca on their lazy susan!
