I don't know a lot about houseplants and such, but I do know a few people that work in green houses and they tell me things about exclusive strains and patents and exclusivity contracts and such and it's all bizarre to me. I can't imagine certain plants commanding so much attention and money. They even have had people going through their trash and compost in hopes of finding more expensive plants to take home and try to revive. The whole expensive/rare plant thing creates some crazy behavior. Sometimes, I think people let enthusiasm and passion take them so far, it kind of overrides sensibility.
