OMG, that is outrageous! I hate to see them get away with it.

This seller should be kicked off ebay! With all of those complaints, they likely will before long.

It's dishonest that there is not even a hint in the listing that the colour is faked. That was the first thing I check for in the listing before I read the rest of this thread.

It's just a NoID white Phal that I could get at my local supermarket on discount when the flowers are faded for a few quid.

We've had various discussions on these blue Phals and I tended to think that if they appealed to the 'disposable' market who most NoIDs are aimed at then fine... but to sell them for this price without any reference to them being a fake colour is outrageous!

On the bottom right of the page is a 'report' link. I just reported it. It's hard to explain eBay why because text length is very limited. Maybe it helps if more people report this auction.
I reported it as misleading title, explaining the blue flowered multi hybrids don't genetically exist and that the plant will reflower white. Didn't have enough space to tell that these are not 'worlds first'.

Good! If enough of us report it, they'll boot the guy off.

Is Habenaria Rodiata really hardy to zone 5? I looked at some of this sellers other items, and he is selling some unusual plants.
