It's absolutely sick don't you think?
A certiication for a clone?
We're talking about a plant that's imported directly from Australia? So if yes, there's no certification for it, only Gps data to have the exactly location.
I think that's crazy pay those prizes for clones, we're no talking about cultivar! I also have located plants, but there's a lot of differences from a cultivar.
Everyone can call a plant with a nickname in his collection.
Don't forget that also Hummer giant in the early '80s before to become a cultivar was only a plant arrived from Australia, John after many years had submitted his notice about this plant and in a second time the plant became a Cultivar.
Now, the "Triffid albany black clone" (and the name say it!) it's a clone, and there's no valid document to certify and justify this price.
Different the Eden Black situation, The Eden Black it's a cultivar, and ONLY If you buy it directly from Stephen Morley you have the 100% guarantee that's the original, all the rest can be a Fake, remember that also Eden Black several Times can have a "colour regression" caused by stress.
Why all this? Only to prove that 1: Noone plant (except registered cultivars) can be "certified" 2. The most important thing is not the certification, but the grower reputation
So, excuse me for my endless message, but it's really important understand the real mechanism to be' shure when We want to buy "valued plants"
