In 2021, I embarked on a search for sports hybrids and unexpectedly stumbled upon a plant seller in a remote area of Indonesia. The seller resided in a modest house constructed partially from concrete and wood. He proudly displayed his collection of hybrids, among which one particular seedling stood out due to its unusual mutations.

Curiosity piqued, I inquired about the seller's occupation, considering the widespread joblessness caused by the pandemic. He revealed that he would accept any available job offers to support his family, yet always returned home to tend to his plants and find solace in his small space.

Impressed by his dedication, I purchased the lone seedling and compensated him generously for his efforts.

A couple of years later, I revisited the same spot only to find it vacant. When I questioned the locals, they informed me that the land had remained unoccupied for over a decade.

To this day, the disappearance of the plant seller and the mystery surrounding the vacant land remain unsolved.
