believe me, i feel your pain
i cut up so many black and white plants last week that i should probably have kept (only occured to me afterwards that getting black and white cacti (like prickly pear, singler barrel, tribarrel) is going to be tricky now with the glitchy way crossing works)
as for yours, since you got it from the seed quest i assume? (or did you get a lucky cross?) you can always get more at a later date *rationalizes along with you so you can cut it up* heheheehe
