D'back, I was wondering if the Cheeseman that you got from Thailand was the real red looking one that was on eBay. I have been wanting to ask someone how their experiences have been buying these Thai offerings.

Would you kindly address this and offer any pointers on these auctions. I have been skeptical of the Thai sellers just because of International Law being involved. As I see it, once you send your money, it is gone. One only hopes that the seller is reputable and will ship your purchase, and that it is exactly as you expect.

Did yours come with a legitimate phytosanitary certificate? Any other issues, concerns or praise? Thanks!

I have been wanting to ask someone how their experiences have been buying these Thai offerings......................yes that was them on ebay,all i can say about the tailand thing is the ad said 7 days shipped ,and it took 4 weeks to get here,probably why it took the bulbs a bit longer to start growing again..shock...but the man himself seemed honest,and after the third week and no package yet i emailed him and he assured me he had sent the package,and that he understood that a person might feel uncomfortable sending a hundred dollars or so to a person halfway around the world,that they dont even no..ad also said that photosan. cert. was included but it was not with package when it arrived,dont no if customs took it or what,but package did get here,i ordered somethings from puerto rico and photosan. cert. was with package when it arrived.i hope this might have answered some of your questions and concerns about ordering from abroad...

i no what you mean about space plants do need and take up alot of space to grow. i have that same problem here
