I have to laugh! Before us westerners started buying lucky bamboo (really
dracena and not bamboo) they only charged about two dollars for a very large
straight OR curly stem.

I love that store and think everyone should try a mung bean cake. Great stuff.

Hello,

I went to Hong Kong supermarket yesterday to add to my collection
of lucky bamboo. The prices are really great! The curly bamboo,
which is my favorite, is only $7 per stem! They have lots of it
too, plus the regular straight kind. The stems are very lush
and healthy.

until soon, Hope
