A tidbit to whet your appetites, a couple of months back, three newly grown hybrid seedlings as a package went for one million baht (a little more than US$20,000) to a Malaysian enthusiast who reportedly gifted them to the Sultan of Brunei. Of the three, the most valuable was said to be the one with leaves as red as the red poinsettia. The other two are a pinkish-leaved one and a yellow-leaved one.
