I straight up don't understand the purpose of plant shops anymore. I went on Facebook marketplace and just randomly found ALL THREE OF MY FAVORITE PHILO VARIETIES! For like 20-30 bucks! And picked it up from a wonderful witchy woman who just ran to my car with a bag so that they don't get cold! I'm the happiest woman alive. Welcome, pink princess, prince of orange, and lil birkin:)
