Out of the blue I started getting email to an address that I don't give out normally.
It says it is a Thai company.
Anyone ever got any email or anything else from them???

Nothing comes up.

At a guess you must be subscribed to some 'member' list which the webmaster has sold to advertising folk.

I can think of several 'webmasters' that treat folk like dirt.

Throwing members on and off, behaving in arbitrary devious ways, condoning malicious cliques, misselling, doing unethical things out of self interest, mendacity...

Various indicators of poor motivation, lack of social skills, lack of professional competence, a bad risk

Andrew, what's all that supposed to mean?

Dido???

Please, we need some due respect here!  Mr.Davis has suggested elsewhere that he may be better at cultivating, photographing and writing descriptions for waterlilies than at least Dr. Kirk Strawn and Mr. Perry Slocum.

Who are we to question the words of such a man.<lmao>

[Joyce]

Me too!

I didn't see anything about the home page, or how to place an order.  This must be one of two things, either a promo sent out to wholesalers that would know who they are and how to order from them.  (Selling in lots of 200 plants per Each type at 1.28per plant)

Or, just a guess, could also be a scam.  You would only know its a scam if they send another email with information as to where to send your money.   Thats all I could come up with

Whew!!! 
Craig, you had me nervous for a second. I thought you were peeved at me or something.

My last name is also Davis. (No relation that I am aware of just a quirk of fate.)

We're off and running again.

ewaterplant.org and .Com appear to be out of thailand, at first blush they appear to be legit but I need to dig deeper.. Andy

Are there any links to click on? DON'T!
It could be a phishing email. I get "look alike" paypal and ebay ones all the time.

Pat Prakobphol is the name that was on the email. It looks legit from what I have found so far but that is a huge amount necessary to purchase.
I was wondering if anyone had ever dealt with him (them?).
Are the cheap plants blooming size?
Are they vip starts?

It's one of those things that seems way to good to be true. If you have to drop $500 dollars to try it, it seems to much of a risk.
