Let me start by saying that I have nothing bad to say about their service and product. I've ordered from them a number of times. I just got their latest catalog in the mail and I was looking through it last night. I was amazed at how doctored all of the photos are in it. How far can they actually go before its considered "misrepresentation"? Take a look at the picture of the pink Dianthus. I'm not sure what page it was, but it was the PPA
plant of the year a few years ago.
Some of those pictures are just plain silly looking. I can first remember noticing it a few years ago after buying a Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue" at HD or somewhere. Looking at the pictures of them in all the catalogs was just ridiculous. All of them tried to make it more "blue" looking then it actually was. :rolleyes:
Bluestone is definitely NOT the only company doing this. All of the bigger catalogs do. It's just absurd if you ask me.
