Actually, I have most of those for sale in different sizes, so you wouldn't have to be all that busy, its just coming up with the money to get the collection together, or just getting a few things a little at a time. Even breeding plants can be found on some of those species if that is important. For me, that is how I paid for all my plants. I would get breeding plants, start some seeds, sell the seeds for the cost of the plants, or even make a profit to use to buy more plants for more breeding. As an example or two, I just found a sexed pair of latifolias that cost $600 and I just set a cone full of seeds that will go for $1100 next year if I want to sell them. Hildaes are even cheaper than that. I just sold a sexed pair of hildaes that had cones ready to go this season for $150 and the female would hold $250 worth of seeds if pollinated. It sure beats shelling out a lot of money I don't have for plants, thats for sure.
