I love shopping online through Etsy and Facebook Market place for unique treasures. I mostly window shop, but it’s fun and I get a lot of ideas for things I could make myself or want to add to the garden. I am having one little problem though. People really seem to be abusing the word “Rare”. I shop for a lot of plants and I will see twenty posts for a “Rare” succulent. There are TWENTY of them, and they are all easily propagated. Maybe “Rare” doesn’t mean what I think it means. OR… maybe it’s a word that I can use any way I like, since everyone else does. From now on I am signing my letters and emails Rare Book Basset. Thank you
