That's sad, about ebay. I have bought a few things there, one even from Australia. Cost a bloody fortune to have it sent to Alaska. It is really disheartening to think there are that many dishonest slugs in the world that it blotches an entire internet site. Or is it only people buying flowers and plant? That would be even more upsetting. You (well, I) tend to think of gardeners as a cut above the rank and file. I did a trade with Buggy last fall and was quite satisfied. I have my bulbs planted and am eagerly awaiting growth. I had to put them in pots in dirt over winter (got them too late to go outside) in the garage so no growth yet, but the bulbs are quite healthy looking. Hopefully what I sent will do as well.
