I don't understand the reasoning behind any hybridizer not allowing their pictures to be shared on public platform with their permission. I believe the free advertisement should be worth it on this worldwide platform. Heck, he could join for free and upload them himself. I'm sure that he has his reasons. I do agree that some plants being sold are on the meager side. Obviously cost to the buyer is the contributing factor. Shipping is a whole other subject. It definitely does not hurt to shop around.
