two webstores share the same photos

I'm dipping my toes in growing passionflowers, and I stumbled into these two websites:

http://www.passionvinecottage.com/

http://www.georgiavines.com/

Their product lists and photos are exactly the same. Does anyone know what's going on? Are they scammers? Related?

Thanks so much.

Whatever their motivation for doing this, they don't hide the fact that it's the same company/people/products. On the Georgia Vines site, they refer to the other one as their "sister site". Passion Vine Cottage also has all sorts of things one can click on and get back to Georgia Vines.

I don't know why they are doing this. Perhaps they want to change their name, and don't want to do it suddenly? Or maybe they are splitting off their Passifloras as a different company. The way to find out is to ask them, and I'm sure it's a question that has been asked many times now.

I don't see any problem with this, although it's a bit weird. What bothers me is when people steal photos, descriptions, etc. without the consent of the other person. Unfortunately, this is pretty common.

Randy answered the pic question but I just wanted to add that there's many much more reliable passiflora vendors then Georgia Vines.

Do you use two monitors (at the same time)?
Q
Comments (20)
Below is my dual monitor set-up at work. My two monitors are different sizes and brands but that doesn't make any difference to how I use them. The monitor on the left is my main workspace monitor, while the one on the right is primarily used to place menus, iChat windows, post-it notes, etc. You can see a slight color difference which could be improved if I wanted to spend the time and energy to fix it with color profiles. On this second close-up photo you can see how the spread works a little better. The headline for this posts reads: Do you use two monitors (at on the left monitor and the same time)? on the right. Nothing gets lost in the translation between both monitors. Jodi-

Thought I'd share, since they're in the same family!

I thought that looked like a Ceropegia bloom! I didn't put mine outside, it's still so small, it would get so crispy in that tiny pot, lol. i should take pictures of the purple ones on the woodi but they are TINY....well, not as tiny as the cat-tongue plant, but very easily overlooked for sure (the flowers). Brad, I only have a small plant I got from VB this year, otherwise I'd offer you cuttings! Maybe next summer? If it's still alive then.....that is. Just because it's happy now doesn't mean it will be the whole year round, as Denise so tactfully explained in her post re: huernias and whatnot. Denise, i have a monster Huernia schneideranna (let Google spell it for you, I'm wrong) that I may have to send you some... probably too late in the year to be trying rooting, but I'm currently rooting a stapelia indoors successfully (hopefully!) guys, seriously, my autocorrect on this thing has a very negative outlook on everything, seriously. That's how serious it is. i almost said very negative outlook on life but...I don't know, think about that for a second.

Should rooms that share a doorway have the same tile?
Q
Comments (8)
I agree with others that you should use the same tile in both spaces as it creates less visual clutter. Obviously having a downstairs shower isn't the ideal but it exists in the event someone wants to use it and the incremental cost of adding a shower isn't that high - there is a basic cost but unless you go for high end finishes, it isn't unreasonable and if it works for your current needs - why not? And while I am not one to advise making choices based solely on resale to mythical buyers in the future, I think many people who are realistic about older homes and their foibles and drawbacks would think an extra shower was positive. I have a shower in my guest bath in my one bedroom condo. I don't have a lot of overnight guests crashing in my living room because I am past the age when people want to sleep on a sofa instead but it has been used in the past. A home probably has more people and it is likely that at some point the abiity to take a shower at the same time as others are doing would be a good thing even though they might have to take a walk in their bathrobe - the horrors 😱😂🤷🏼‍♀️

hm, yeah, I want to know, too. Selling seeds to hybrids seemed a bit iffy to me.

Grassy Knoll, Zone 9, Brushwood and passiflorista on Ebay are some that I can think of offhand.

Again, Karyn said exactly what I was thinking. I would add that though I have received excellent plants from Zone 9, the identification has been wrong more than once. The other 3, with surely over 200 plants sent to us over the years combined, I don't believe I have ever seen a mislabeled plant. To me that is important...
