Also the guy jumping in the air next to the bulbifer (with the sauromatum leaf) while in the background it appears to be a warzone with a guy crouching and shooting down the street!!?? Wierd choice to say the least!! In the Voodoo Lilies section under snake there is a picture of a couple of guys standing amongst the (badly superimposed) leaves?? They trying to attract lady purchasers or something? Seems an odd picture to be in there. Also the caption that says "Snakes cool off under dense tropical leaves" gave me a laugh..... I wonder how the guys feel being labelled as snakes!!?? They certainly do have some interesting stuff though. If they were reputable and true to actual naming etc they would be a wonderful place to deal with as they have a wonderful range. I have heard warnings myself about these guys a few times, on quite a few different lists, so the horror stories aren't that uncommon by the sound of it. Cheers.
