Complete fake.
Dealing with these types of vendors is a waste of time.

Yes, it's fake. You can tell simply by the purple peat.. lol Don't buy these kind of seeds from Chinese dealers, it's a waste of time and money. I could do a better photoshop job than this.. (photo credit: www.droseragemmae.com/) |

Hi Mackthompson - I've seen that poorly photoshopped image before. The thing that I've failed to do is figure out which species of pygmy dew it is.
Anyone out there with better pygmy dew identification skills than I know which one it is?

It would be worth buying just to see what you got (if it was cheap).

I wouldn't recommend it. I tried with Aliexpres and eBay and got weed seeds
Edit: Not to mention the extremely long shipping time

It would be a good idea to report bad eBay sellers on the OCPS.
Aliexpress seems altogether bad, do they sell seeds?
It's also a good idea to post broad patterns of bad behaviour, such as "all Chinese seed vendors are dodgy". Then people could compare their experiences and maybe narrow it down to a few, specific rotten apples.
I've bought tons of stuff from China with no problems including a $1000+ ultrasound machine and a $200+ oscilloscope. There must be some honest Chinese plant/seed retailers.

I agree I've bought lots of electronics from Hong Kong eBay sellers for my rc planes and had very good success so far. So maybe there is a good seller out there for seeds? |

Same as the orchids, there is no such thing as a blue orchid, but you see them all the time in the stores and they are pretty pricey. People that don't know much about orchids fell for it and buy them, is nothing than injecting food coloring in the flower spike or even adding that food coloring in the water while they are soaking the plant's roots. It doesn't harm the plant in any way, just gives a fake color, you can try to experiment that if you have a plant to sacrifice in case something bad happens.

They are terrestrials in the genus Thelymitra, the sun orchids. Not all of the species in that genus are blue, but there are a few. However yes, the blue Phalaenopsis people claim to sell online are totally fake, or at least not genetically blue. |
