A recent purchase off eBay has just bloomed and it is not the plant i ordered. It wouldn't be one I would have bought, but I contacted the seller to find out what they were selling at the time that it could be - i was just wanting a positive id.
The vendor, who has a thriving orchid business on eBay, quickly responds and says, I probably mixed up the tags and thats why it wasn't what I was expecting.
I replied that wasn't possible as all the orchids in that area had bloomed, and I also wouldn't have purchased that type of orchid.
They then replied that it must have been an orchid from another Ebay seller that had been mislabelled.
Now, I only ordered this orchid about six weeks ago and clearly remember it as the spike was broken but had a side shoot.
Now, I feel really annoyed that the seller has shifted all responsibility - I wasn't looking for a refund or replacement just an ID - I know that things can be sometimes go awry.
I'll probably not order from them again, which is a pity as the other plants I've had from them have been good, but I'm just a bit bummed.
