..Sales Ranking:
..Summary: "Lost souls are hot-house flowers--delicate, beautiful, fragile, and rare. Some require special attention. Some like to be left alone. Some thrive with lots of light while others prefer darkeness. They are all very different and spectacular in their own ways. There are droopy, weeping plants prone to fits of trebling...and others just can't get properly motivated despite their best intentions to flower...There are self destructive plants whose thorns turn inward, piercing the plants' very stems...It is important to note that all of these unusual plants do cross-pollinate. As a result, there are hot-houses full of incomprehensible variations...They are challenging to tend to but their potential for beauty is unlimited. With proper care, some of the most hopeless varieties offer velvety leaves, ethereal perfumes, and blossoms so rich with color they very nearly hum. Which kind are you?"
