You have to be very careful with sellers on eBay, especially coming from Thailand. I know of two reliable sellers that have partners in Thailand and that will ship from Florida. I'll give you their information if you would like. Florida Colors Nursery also sells some different purples: Jacks Purple Jack's Purple is a very nice purple.

That color is definitely enhanced on eBay. Don't waste your money with seeds either as they won't come true to the parent.

I have several purples. They used to be rare, but now the explosion of hybridizing from Thailand has made them very accessible.
