You just don't understand the lust of collector's mania. I want it! I
want it! Some day I will get organized and get them all planted nicely in
tanks like Kasselmann shows in her book. In the meantime it can wait on
the shelf until I get around to providing it utopia for plants. It is a
good thing that plants don't have nervous systems. Actually, the only
plant I have that is close to endangered is Cryptocoryne parva, and I am
taking good care of that one.
