Ok, this is not the best example ever but I have to get back to work so I'm doing this FAST. But here you go. This is a plain white one originally ...

What shows me that the image in the eBay auction is a fake is the stark light deifferences between the petals and the leaves directly beneath them. If someone else has seen a Plumie similar to this, then soething like that may exist. But this image on eBay has 100% been Photoshopped.

What gets me though is why these people do it? I mean, why even bother selling pieces of seeds for $2, when if they accept PayPal, after the charges from PP and eBay, the auction wasn't even worth their time. Soooooooooooo weird and pointless to me.

The Plumie I could see - getting $45 for something that wasn't worth anything good or that would possibly harm your plants ... now I'm in the wrong business.
