Oh well, I was in the middle of responding to this and WHAM!! My computer just begin to orderly shut down. No warning, no I'm going to update in 5 minutes no nothing. So, I'm back after a complete power down of my laptop. Microsoft was kind enough to bring me back to this thread, but not kind enough to keep my 10 lines of typing.
I might be guilty of doing a search to find a picture of one that I planned to buy. Then, share that photo with ya'll if it was just so great that I couldn't wait for you to see it. Most times, I'd just provide a link to it if you wanted to look. But, to use someones photo to sell my plants, nope that's not nice. I do think if you want to use the hybridizers photo, that this is ok, but please post that it's not your photo. After someone has had a plant for several years and then wants to sell that plant, I don't understand why they don't use their own photos. I really do like seeing a picture of the plant I'm buying or atleast one that shows it growing in your garden. I'd ask before using, that's for sure.
I spend many many hours taking photos of my plants. So, I know why anyone would be just a little bit angry if someone just up and takes their photos for personal gain.
So, be a little angry, then if you can, shove it aside and smile, you'll feel better. This is a great place to relieve pent up emotions. That's why I love coming for a visit every day.
Blessings, Mona
