I just received an order from Durham Botanicals last week. Great looking plants and he has several varieties. You'll have to tell him what you want and he can verify if he has it. He wants orders of 6 or more as a minimum. I got together with two people from work to order. You can email him at - chris@durhambotanicials.com. I am very happy with the quality of the plants. He has two different variegated adeniums too. I have attached a pic of several we purchased from Chris. He is also on facebook in the adenium groups. I'll take pics of the five I purchased tonight and post them. Lonnie This post was edited by printmaster on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 6:58

OP-You are going to have to give more specific info. When, where, who, how and why. All i could find relating to the topic was on a forum somewhere or outdated. It is best to do your own research before you buy, there are plenty of sellers not included in any reviews that could be good or bad. Are they using someone else's pics? Is their feedback really all that good? How long have they been growing/selling? What variety are they selling and what are the chances they actually have it? Is there alot of hype involved? Does their credibility come from other's opinions or their own? Does their story make sense or does it have holes, does it change? If something seems to be too good to be true on eBay, it probably is...

Your comments on GP2013 are reassuring, Thanks. I miss Karole Brooks at Krimson Kreek (FL). And recently heard Alan Butler (Brookside Nursery) is moving from Italy to Spain. Maybe shipping to the USA will be easier from there next summer after he's settled. Does anyone know if Juan Chahinian is still selling on eBay and if so how to identify him?

Thanks, everyone. There were a few members wanting to purchase seedlings. Someone said no one in their right mind would ship seedlings. Well, this seller has them ... in several varieties of adenium. Perhaps a good source. I actually just successfully shipped 12 plumeria and adenium seedlings to 2 family members in Florida. I left them in their little pots, taping styrofoam atop the soil to keep it in place, then taping a solo cup (with air holes) on top. They were shipped in a newspaper padded box and arrived perfectly intact!
