wrong ID's on the Bay

18 years ago

Yesterday I alerted one seller and one buyer in a very polite manner that the Tillandsias they were selling/buying were mis-labeled as to the photos depicted. The buyer's response was one of a newbie not having done any research, she took the name at face value. But the seller whom I contacted was pretty adamant that since her plants came from Paul Isley the tags were correct, like, "who the hell are you to tell me?" Granted, she has no idea of my experiences but don't you think she might have been curious enough to look it up? The plant in question is being sold as 1) Tillandsia capitata 'Peach' and 2) Till. geminiflora. Both plants are T. recurvifolia var. subsecundifolia, not even close to either. This is how the hobby gets flooded with bad ID's. There are two geminifloras for sale so find the one with the orange scapes.
