Amazing Message Plant grows a message in the leaves!

messageplant.jpg

This thing is totally cool! The Amazing Message Plant comes in a little self contained can that you open up and water. A couple of weeks later, out grows a plant that actually has the message “I love you” in the leaves of the plant. And it’s only $12.

Makes a great gift for someone you love. If you don’t love them, then it’s probably not so great of a gift.
