ebay iochroma
I'm new, but that seems unusually over priced, but I've been wrong before, so maybe it's okay, I dunno...
I have never heard of Red Iochroma!, wonder if Kell, or Norma has
I went to ebay and found this one auction is for 20 days

BUTTERFLY GARDENS BY ROBYN

i just cant believe someone is actually going to pay 97.00 for one.
even the other one on ebay is somewhat over priced but dang a hundred dollars for a plant. just mind boggling thinking how much others will pay for one thing and it has no guarentee at all.
edited for spelling.

Kartuz Greenhouse sells red and any other color that you may want and I can assure you that they don't charge $97 for them and the plants are nice. When I got mine from them last year one of them was blooming in the box.
I have to admit I surf ebay everyday without missing a day but you can get shafted really bad on some of those auctions if you're not careful.
That's why they call it an auction. People get caught up in what they are doing. What's one more dollar?
I don't care enough to look at it, but I wonder how many bids there were. And I'll bet that all but 2 or 3 people dropped out at the price it should have been.

I was watching this auction too, I wonder if they'll pay up. Even I wouldn't bid that high and I've been known to spend muhlua.
Well with a plant there is not sure way of telling if your getting the real thing, I ordered a bananna plant from a nursery it said it was cold hardy to 20 below, I got it three days ago and it was in a flimsy box, and it was FROZEN, turned into mush, when I notified them they said that was the box the Post office gave them, DUH
