Sue - Considering how proliferic these types of auctions & sellings are on eBay & Amazon, I'd say, yes, some people really *are* that gullible. Sad, honestly... I've learned the hard way long long time ago to double-check ANYTHING I buy online as far as plants to make sure that what I'm buying & what they're selling are the same thing. For instance, I was looking at this auction here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jean-G...
It's for a Jean Giono rose. I was struck by the extreme golden color & would love to have it. But then I double-checked it here and found it to be totally different and NOT what I would want.
Rose (Rosa 'Jean Giono')
And then I saw that this seller was using the same image for Sheila's Perfume, which, as you know, looks completely different.

Floribunda Rose (Rosa 'Sheila's Perfume')
Buyer Beware. But Blue Strawberries would be super cool...
