One sure fire way is to save each picture of a plant you want and compare it to Plant Files. When you see what it looks like for others it may not be all it seemed to be. There's a rose, Ebb Tide, which so many people believe is that very, very dark purple to violet color but, here, it's just a dark red rose and doesn't even have the fragrance of Mr. Lincoln.

I also eliminated a dozen dahlias (and a dozen daylilies or more) by comparing the photo online to DG photographs on Plant Files. We will NOT talk about how many I did order.
