Your new plants have interesting looking bodies. Of course I have never heard of them, but the link you shared showed an unusual bloom as well. I hope you are able to keep some of them happy enough that they eventually reward you with some blooms.

I hope you are able to sell a few to get your money back. That was a great justification 😄 and if it really works out, all the better! Either way, you now own some and the happiness factor in that alone has to make it worth it.
