Default Who's the most reliable supplier for basjoos?

I read earlier in another thread that someone said they had a hard time getting true musa basjoos from the mail order sites. I'm curious, what's the consensus of those out there for who's most likely to actually ship the correct plant? I'm leaning towards Brians over florida hill even though florida hill is cheaper at this point.... Thoughts?

I never got a true basjoo from Florida hill - i've got all kinds of bananas that I have to over winter in the house that I don't know what they are. Time to thin the herd -I want a Basjoo too!

I hear you, I'm planning on buying a bunch to get some good patches going this year that I don't have to pull out.

I'd imagine that Goingbananas certainly has the real deal. They're not super cheap but worth it, and right now have a deal where if you get 3 Basjoos, the 3rd is half-price.

Definitely stay away from TyTy!!!!
Three corms ordered... three different species received - none were basjoo.

Hardy Tropicals has always been good to me with basjoos, but the pricing is meeehhh... and they don't sell basjoos bigger than a gallon or so.

if Florida Hill can't even send a Basjoo right, does that mean I risk not getting a true Sikkimensis if I order through them? I understand people make mistakes, but it sounds like they do it all the time.
