| This looks more like a LO than the expensive "Pink Jazz". :*( http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Tall... |

 Not Pink Jazz. |

What a dubious seller! Unless I slept through the truly purple lily revolution, colours here have been fiddled: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-New-... |
Name: Connie Willamette Valley OR (Zone 8a) |
| Yeah, and same seller. I think some buyers will be disappointed. |

| The 1st is definitely an LO Pink jazz's flowers face out/downwards. |

He probably got his stock from that famous name importer/seller--we all know who that is.  |

| An LO for sure! Trouble is in most cases someone actually looking for this particular lily will have a good idea what it looks like. The lily pictured will be luck to top 3 ft! Tracey |

| Tracey how is your PinkJazz doing? Has B&D had it for sale lately? Andy |
Name: Tracey Wisconsin (Zone 5a) |
| 'Pink Jazz' has done very, very well for me. I think the last I heard from B & D is that they were working to propagate it and it would take a few years. You could always email them for an update. Lynette from Valley K in Canada also offered it a few times, for a much better price, like $15 or so. So it is some place to watch for it. Tracey |

Valley K had them last fall in limited quantity. I snapped up a couple.  I'd definitely check them out this fall. |

| It's all about money! If there ever is a mistake by somebody I trust, at least I know it's an honest mistake and I can understand that because I have a mixup myself once in a while too. Glad to hear from you. How are the seed pods looking so far? |

| della: About the e-bay lily with dark center. I always look at the background and leaves in a photo to see if the "contrast" has been fiddles with.That one sure lookes "shopped" The photo looks similar to other images of the same lily. Websites usually buy images from a "image bank" thats how there can be several vendors with the same shopped photo. |
Name: Lorn (Roosterlorn) S.E Wisconsin (Zone 5b) Roosterlorn Mar 16, 2013 6:17 AM CST |
| Yah, Check out the one they all use for Trebbiano. It's not even the right cultivar!! That same picture has been floatin' around for years. |
Name: Jo Ann Gentle Pittsford NY (Zone 6a) ge1836 Mar 16, 2013 7:10 AM CST |
| I feel sorry for the hap-less shopper who believes what they see. Orders and gets the wrong plant. |

| And then trades with others, who swear the name is correct. Pet peeve! |
Name: Connie Willamette Valley OR (Zone 8a) |
| Good point Polly. The misnamed ones probably came from big box, co-ops etc. |
Name: della hobart, tasmania dellac Mar 18, 2013 4:36 AM CST |
| Thanks ge1836. Now that I see the 'blue flash' picture in the other thread, I wonder if that is the cultivar that has been photoshopped for the ebay advert. |
Name: Jo Ann Gentle Pittsford NY (Zone 6a) ge1836 Mar 18, 2013 5:12 AM CST |
| I also check the plant database for images from gardeners who photograph their own plants. I would trust a database photo before anything on the web. |
