Are there any saplings to buy on Taobao?

On some flower and fruit forums, I saw some Taobao shops in Suqian, Shuyang and Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province, full of swindlers, who used the long growth period of plants to sell fakes and even used pictures to ps out nonexistent seedlings to deceive consumers. When consumers find that the plants they bought bear fruit, which is inconsistent with the description of the merchants, but they find that the effective time for Taobao evaluation has passed, the system will praise them by default. Therefore, this kind of deception is difficult to be exposed, which is a big loophole in Taobao system.

Recently, a survey was made on the seedlings sold in some shops in Taobao, and some commodities suspected of counterfeiting were listed for expert identification in biology.

Hebak strawberry

Figure 1

At present, I haven't found any information about this variety, and some netizens on some online flower and fruit forums have pointed out that this strawberry is a scam. Most of the pictures used in Taobao shops are as shown in figure 1. The high suspicion is false.

Blue roses (some stores also sell so-called colored roses) Figure 2

Figure 3

The "Blue Witch", which sells well at home and abroad, is actually dyed with water-mixed dyes during the growth process (Figure 2). Although Suntory Company of Japan synthesized the blue rose with transgenic technology (Figure 3, from Baidu Encyclopedia), after consulting the related pictures, it was found that it was obviously different from that sold by the store, and the price was obviously higher than that of the store. It is highly suspected that this rose is fake, and some netizens pointed out that replacing the rose with a scam.

Ginseng fruit seedling

Figure 5

In Figure 4, the leaves of a fruit tree are like those of a pear tree. In Figure 4, there are obvious coverage marks after the words "pirated real shots must be investigated", so it can be concluded that other pictures have been stolen. Moreover, the fruit shapes and plant species in several pictures (Figure 4 and Figure 5) are obviously different, so it should be stolen from different places. It is highly suspected that it is fake and should be made of mold.

Indian blue water lily

Figure 6

After consulting the information, it is found that the number of petals of Indian blue water lily is 2 1, and the product sold in this store (Figure 6) is obviously not, so it can be suspected that the picture of this product is PS. In addition, some online buyers pointed out that the fake water lilies sold should be cold-resistant water lilies.

Other suspected plants: climbing strawberries, cherry seedlings, green roses, etc.

The accused goods are sold in various stores on Taobao, and the main sellers are from Suqian, Huai 'an and Shuyang in Jiangsu. Invite experts in biology to smash the above scam.
