You are one of very few posters who can see past the pretty pictures.

If I had $1 for every buyer who has been duped into buying them I would be very. very rich.

It's just makes me wonder what people are thinking? They send you seeds and expect them to grow into that garbage.  Jack & the Beanstalk and his magic beans. lol

This is the latest scam

I thought I had read awhile ago that the roses are actually a cream coloured rose and you have to split the base of the stem after cutting and dip each split section into food colouring to achieve the rainbow effect. In view of that, I did a seach on eBay and found a (Hong Kong) seller who gives the instructions on how to do it. 331147324794

At least this seller tells you straight out that the roses you are buying are cream, unlike all the others that imply you are actually going to grow that coloured rose.

appears to be the same piece of melon, wow fancy that. How can the same piece of melon be both purple and blue? 😉

Photoshop is remarkable, isn't it Chezzy??

It is so easy to do that I am surpried they are only sticking to 2 colours.
