I told him it was'nt highly sought after....
Looks like I was wrongo.
I gave a big one away last year.

I'm sure the LFS could get it for you :)

I've been seeing more of them at the LFS lately. Not a very hot seller though. I keep seeing the same ones week after week.

One of my favs. I lost it and most of my sps last fall. Looking for more.

I actually really liked the growth pattern, with all of those little nobules popping up underneath it and growing out from under.

I live in the sticks and tend to do business with fellow reffers and have no lfs to speak of, so wasnt aware it was aroun more recently. Good to know :)

anybody aware of any unique colors??? Is the yellowish one I posted kind of a standard such as the mustard and yellow scroll would be??

I kind of liked the yellowish one I had.

Im sure yellow and green are not the only colors out there. Of course, I only had mine for about 6 months before I had a little accidnt and killed everything, I wouldnt be all that surprised if mine couldnt be green in some conditions as well. Could have came in a little bleached and under my strong 10's never got the green back. I however do like the appearance of my yellow one better than the greem.

anyway....... Lets see soemthing blue ....or red...or?? :D
