    Today I received my Canna and Datura seed bought from ebay on Bilbo's recommendation on this thread:
    http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/...087-canna-seed-supply-highly-recommended.html

    This is their ebay shop:
    Canna, Brugmansia items in Karchesky Cannas Brugmansias and More store on eBay!

    They have taken only 5 days to reach me (two of those days were the weekend), that is very impressive, and they came with a lovely little note from the ebayer inside too:

    Love all the stamps and packaging, especially the "Happy Spring" sticker :)

      What'cha got then John? I've got a bit carried away with some Exotics ... you likely to be at Shiney's in the Spring? If I don't kill them all! I could bring you the spares.

        It's nice when the supplier gives a personal touch and it gives you an indication of reliability and hopefully the quality of the seeds. They look good to me!:thumbsup::thumbsup::D

            I got:
            Datura; White Queen, Purple Ballerina & Golden Queen
            Canna; Musafolia Grande & Tropical White

            I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to Shiney's this year but thanks for the offer. I think I've got a bit carried away too this year, I'm not sure I've got space for everything I'm growing from seed. I've got some major clearance on my old borders as it is, it's going to be a busy time :)

              If push comes to shove I'm sure we'll be able to think of a different excuse for a meet-up :thumb:

              I really hate looking at recommended sites, because I just know I can get so tempted even though I've got more than enough Canna seeds awaiting sowing right now. So I won't look, No, I won't look, Aaaah Beat it!,..............well, maybe just a little look.:heehee::D

                  Is going cheap on eBay worth the risk?
