Nothing beats selecting your plant in person (ie going to your local nursery, neighbor, friend etc). I've had good luck this year with two e-bay sellers shipping plants to Seattle in the middle of winter! Both of whom were recommended on this board. Neither of them showed me the actual plants to be shipped, so I had to trust the opinions of the experts here. If you choose a plant from an on-line nursery, they won't show you the actual plant either. I think if you use ebay, the best thing to do is to research who you are dealing with. This thread is a great start. I've found over the years with all sellers on ebay, it is best not to offend them. Its so easy to say things on-line which you wouldn't say in person. We've all done it. Its the anominity of it all. And I apologize if I have offended anyone with that comment.

But better yet, check out the auctions here !! You will see the actual plant you are bidding on. And have some knowledge of how he/she cares for their plants.

PS, I don't sell plants here. Just have great respect for our experts.
