A pint of blood in America sells to hospitals for $180 to $300, depending on the market, and expired blood often is sold to research laboratories, said Ben Bowman, chief executive of General Blood, the blood broker engaged in a legal tussle with Oklahoma City-based OBI.
âCristatumâ crested lady fern (Athyrium filix femina âCristatumâ) is an evergreen fern that is easy to grow in USDA zones 4 through 9. This 1- to 3-foot-tall plant thrives in full or partial shade and produces ruffled fronds that fall slightly in an arching manner.
Over 500 types of evergreen trees exist today, but only a handful of varieties make it to the living rooms of Christmas celebrants each year. Three of the most common genera are the pine, fir, and spruce.
