Adeniums flowers don't correspond seeds description
Comments (3)If you are asking if you will have a good chance of most of the seedlings flowering pink? Then I say you are correct. I've planted up a lot of seedlings and a lot of them are pink flowered. I cannot say for sure if this is due to deception on the part of the seller or just more common for the adenium to revert back to the pink flower. I will find out soon as I have been hybridizing a LOT of my named varieties. Once the seed pods are ready to pick I will plant them up and see how they flower versus the ones I've purchased from other sellers. Good luck with your seedlings. I cannot wait to hear of your results....See MoreAdenium Seed
Comments (24)First off, I've never ordered plants or seeds from overseas, so my experience isn't a direct comparison. My other hobby is high-voltage electronics, and many of the parts I need aren't sold in small quantities here in the US. No code here, just fun stuff like capacitors, diodes, and vacuum tube sockets. Thankfully, you can find pretty much any of these parts for sale on eBay originating from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc. The shortest I ever received anything was just over two weeks, and the longest anything ever took was just shy of two months. In both cases I believe the seller shipped immediately upon payment. I think the seller who said "Buyers will receive order in 7 days" is just being, lets say "creative" with his marketing. All the same, I'd wait probably a month before I rounded up the posse. You could send another customer a quick note asking how long it took to receive their order. There isn't anything unethical about that. Just be warned that they might not respond, as it may create the impression that you are up to something fishy. The certificate issue is a whole different can of worms. I could see the seller shipping a large package with proper phyto certificates to a partner the US, then having the partner re-ship them domestically. My totally honest advice is to just wait. You could send the seller an email, but I'm sure they'll say they were shipped right after payment. If the seeds don't show up a month or so after you ordered them, send the seller an email threatening to leave negative feedback. If you don't get a satisfactory response, leave the negative feedback, report it to eBay, then move on! Unless it was hundreds of dollars worth of seeds, you'll be better off just getting over it than trying to get your money back from some scammer in Asia!...See Morebeware fraudulent ebay seller adenium_bonsai
Comments (3)What I learned is to WATERMARK all your pictures with your email address or name across the picture in couple of places. This should detour anyone from using your pic without permission. But it is more a principal issue, again if the person is stealing pics they probably selling bogus items, especially if they are seeds....See MoreSowing 4 cultivars of Adenium arabicum seeds from Adeniumcenter
