Has anyone bought plumerias from this seller.
She had the following listing for India.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160024764886&sspagename=ADME%3AL%3ARTQ%3AUS%3A1&rd=1
It is not like any India I have seen. I wrote to her and asked her if the picture in the listing was the actual picture and she wrote me back, "Did you see the second picture? That's the one I took last month. It was sold to me as an India... I'm no more sure than that."
She now has a listing for a Dwarf Evergreen Singapore that I would like to bid on, but I am somewhat leary. She had a previous listing for a Dwarf Evergreen Singapore in which she listed the cutting as 22 inches long. Isn't that a big cutting for a dwarf variety? - 22 inches with no branching?

Anyone have an opinion?

Thats not India by my experience
Heres my pic of India from a friend
OOPS!! Wrong one!!
That one belongs to Milton Pierson
Id like to remove it as Milton doesnt like folks using his pics
Perhaps Clare will tell me how to remove it.
Anyway, its a wonderful pic of India and sure to be the real thing as it belongs to Milton Pierson. ;^)

Josegabriele, I agree with Michael that that is not an 'India.' She just proved by her email to you that she doesn't know cultivars and is untrustworthy, especially since she is willing to sell an unknown under a cultivar's name. I wouldn't trust this seller, and I wouldn't buy anything from her. There are so many bad, unscrupulous plumeria sellers out there, and most of them are on eBay. Please see the list of trusted eBay sellers that we have posted here many times. There is another site just starting up of trusted sellers here: http://www.plumeriaclassifieds.com/ Florida Colors sells 'India' for $15 per cutting and $20 per graft, and you can be sure that you will get a real 'India.' Florida Colors also sells the evergreen Plumeria obtusa 'Singapore' as does Brad's Buds and Blooms for $15: http://bradsbudsandblooms.com/index.php?cPath=21&sort=2a&page=2 I have been burned several times by unknown sellers on eBay and learned the hard way not to do that again. I will only buy from trusted sources now.
Michael, there is no way to remove pictures. Only the administrators can do it, and they are reluctant to do it and don't do it as a rule, only as an exception. Milton is not a subscriber here so no worries, Mate.
Run in the opposite direction. Her feedback is not good, since it contains specific allegations of dishonesty in the sale of cuttings. And the feedback she's left for others suggests that she's trouble. She's left about 10 negatives or neutrals since 2004. And she retracted two bids that she placed in the last six months. Way too many red flags here.
