JB,
That is very true. Some people who sell them don't know which specific one they're selling and others aren't always truthful (they know it's not a 'Hawaiian' for example, but sell it as one). I've only purchased 'Spider Plants' online on Etsy and thus far have had success with those. But, even Etsy has a seller or two I wouldn't think of purchasing from (bad reviews). This seller has gotten all perfect reviews, so I figured if I was going to take the chance ordering online for my first time, she seemed like the best "bet."
