Rare Plants in Common Places

Yesterday I spotted a rare plant in a common place: Cardiocrinum giganteum at my local big box hardware store. This was once a plant only found by mail order or at better specialty nurseries. I guess it has arrived. Sadly I can't grow this beauty thanks to voracious slugs and snails, which love to feast on the lovely huge leaves.
