CC companies, Paypal, ebay, etc., have never sided with me when it came to plants. All the vendor has to demonstrate is that a plant was shipped. Whether it's the correct plant, whether it's virused...

Glad to know you think so. I guess exposing a tacit understanding is too much for some to handle. I personally think it's unhinged to be offended when someone states an unspoken truth that a certain...

It appears Floralia made an exception for me and refunded the order amount, a resolution I'm satisfied with. But it doesn't really give confidence for future orders. Here's the email text they sent:...

I got the Tamiami vendor list from a guy on Reddit, then messaged all the import vendors to try to get an order in. Floralia was the only one that responded with a price list, and so I ordered 2...

It seems like many here are more protective of vendors, but I share the same values with regards to virus. A virused plant should be considered an unhealthy plant, regardless of how it looks on the...

I assumed the green was a recessive "alba" characteristic (I don't know if that's correct).

I love smelling the development of a flower's fragrance, because we can imagine that there's a continuous tuning of a number of chemicals that it produces. Apparently when you remove all the tannin...
