I was very happy with the 1.59 or 1.69 price I paid. The 4.69 was, I thought, over the top and even more than you paid, Carolyn. But I AM willing to pay a little more for nice quality heirlooms. I did the math and at 4.69 each it would cost me over 70.00 for the 15 or 16 plants I usually plant each year. That would drive back to planting hybrids, and make due. I might still do half and half if it comes to that. 35.00 is accecptable, 70.00 not so much, for me.
Flowers are entirely different, some are rare, difficult to start and hard to find and can be very pricey. I paid 50.00 ea with shipping for 1 gallon hydrangeas for myself and my mother and the nursery is in my state. (The shipping was worth it since it was about 4 hrs drive round trip to the nursery) But open pollinated tomatoes, when you can save your own seeds, seems kinda high.
