Ooh, I'd love to have a string of dolphins but have never found one here for under $30 (and that's just too expensive for me to justify the purchase).
My first few string of pearls plants also turned very sickly within a year or two of acquisition. But! I have since learned that this plant--especially a healthy, established one--doesn't live beyond five years anyway. So the trick is to take a string or two when your plant's at its peak and root those.
How did the plant swap go, and what sorts of things did people bring? It's interesting to see what plants are "big" in different areas (and I'm jealous of all the plants that grow well in your zone!)
