Lycoris fraud

The same is true regarding the sale of Clivia seed on Ebay.  While there is
excellent hybridizing of Clivia occurring in China, you'll be very
disappointed if you buy blue, purple, or fuchsia flowering Clivia being
offered on Ebay.  The vendors selling the bogus seed are invariably from
China.  Ebay seems unconcerned about the fraud.  I've contacted them about
it to no avail.  You'd think Ebay would want their customers to be
comfortable buying through them, knowing that products being sold were
legitimate.  Not so.

As always - it's Buyer Beware.
