    Sorry...I am tempted to remove the noid phals in the house and get new named ones, so I am a 'name snob' (if you haven't noticed already). However all the noids are my mothers so I can't remove them. One reason is I want to attempt to show the plants, I just have to work on the perfect bloom. Other reason named plants can be re-sold easier when it is time to give them up.

    But noids make wonderful starter plants for newbies... who usually appreciate getting a plant at a lower price to "practice" on.

    Three garage sale noids (total $3) got me restarted. Now I don't EVEN want to know how much I have spent.
