Anybody buy his seeds and are they true to the picture? I like so many but they are $$$ pricey. I haven't had the best of luck with getting what I paid for. I don't mind spendng if I get what I'm supposed too.

Since MG's have so much "genetic drift", I don't think you can ever be sure of getting exactly what is in the photo. I don't think this guy even grows MG's, he just brokers the seeds. There is no way to find out whether the strain has been stable for several generations. On the other hand, while we might balk at spending $25-$50 on seeds, many people go to nursuries and buy plants for that price. And once you pay the initial price, theoretically, you will get seed to grow from the plant each year.

I bought a selection. Last year all the seeds I bought from them were true to type and good growers. Some of them are the parents of my crosses I`m trying out. This year I got a shipment of good looking healthy seeds and next spring I`ll plant and report. I have a good feeling about it.

I have had good luck with them too. But they are way more expensive this year. Last year, the seeds came in the original factory package with anywhere from 8 to 15 seeds per pack. This year, it seems he's splitting the seeds from those packages and charging a lot more for less seeds. But, still, ya gotta have em! lol I just received some today that I bought about 10 days ago on ebay, so they do come quick.
