Another picture thief.I contacted this seller and asked that the picture be removed.He/she promised to remove it "at once".It's still there.
I really doubt that these are the real Wretched Mess since I don't have a record of ever selling or giving one to this person.Their feedback stinks.

Thank you for taking the time to warn everyone.

J. T., what a thing to do! I even recognize that picture from your website! By the way, I recently moved back to NC and dug up the brugs I got from you and brought them with me so we'll see how they do here -- one was Rosa Traub and the other might be a Pink Beauty (I don't remember to tell you the truth). Do both of these have "fuzzy" velvety leaves? I wish I had more shade here to be able to buy more from you, but, alas, it's too sunny.
Take care of things there in PNS. I sure miss the area, but finances dictated the move (real estate market).

and he/she has 4 of them to boot?
Thanks for warning us. I've been slowly redeveloping an interest in them and have been lurking on ebay watching some of the auctions. I would hate to get taken end up with something that wasn't true to name.
The maya that you sent me when I first moved up here is doing fantastic!
I believe you can report the person to ebay directly and they will remove it.
I hate that! I'm glad you posted this, cause there are more and more cheats out there... Look at that seller's feedback.. 91% scary!
Such a shame..
I emailed the seller... guess I wasn't the only one either! :)
I also emailed the seller and got a reply back this morning saying he didn't know how to delete the photo and didn't realize it was copyrighted. Duh?! I wrote back and told him to contact ebay to delete since I had never posted anything for sale on ebay. I also told him that any photo he takes from someone else's website is copyrighted. Dummy! And he told me I wasn't the only one that had sent him an email.
Thanks for the heads up:)
After getting burnt on ebay getting Brugs, I give up on eBay for getting them:(
Wish I knew the good from the bad seller's..:)Anita
JT is hard to beat as a seller. You can get a real Wretched Mess and it will be a healthy plant.
I did contact ebay about this.Their process is so long that the auction would be over before anything was done.Makes you wonder if that's by design.
Barbara,I'm sorry you have moved away,though NC is certainly a beautiful state.I will be green with envy next July and August.It's odd how we are never satisfied.People who live further north want to live in Florida and most of us in Florida wish we lived where there was occasional snow.In a perfect world it would snow once a year,one foot deep,and last for one day.Anyone know of such a place?
You can definately trust Brenda Delph, She is Seedsprout I have always been competly satisfied with what I have puchased.
Ditto - Brenda Delph (seedsprout.com) and JT (countrygardens.com) are the only ones I buy from.
Thanks Barbara but that is countrygarden without the "s"
Oops! Sorry! should be www.countrygarden.com
Mine should be so nice........it's http://countrygdn.com
