Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that have more money than logic or intelligence (or, just want it to be true so badly that they fool themselves). Scammers wouldn't do this sort of thing if it wasn't profitable; and unfortunately, it is very profitable.
whether or not the flower exists may be open to debate but that picture has been altered substantially. The edge of the petals look to have been 'cut and pasted' onto the background or 'over edited'. that is not an unedited photo.

They might repost a roth alba next month!! Lol..
LOL. It would be really fun if someone just went all the way and did something like a Phrag. kovachii var. album fma. giganteum- 18 inch blossoms of purest white.
can really seems like that....but only for the upper part of petals and dorsal.
The darker edge is due to the fact that the flower is not compleately open and so the edge itself is pointing directly to the camera and so is so dark green....
so,maybe this can convince more...
here another photo of the same plant in flower few years back...when selfing was not suxcesfully....

Gee, how did I miss this? It would be really good if someone could propagate this.

or you could buy the flask and plant ...I am sure your 'girlfriend' wouldn't mind....and BTW, the price went down to 750 for the plant
Why the inverted commas? 'Girlfriend'?!
And concerning this vendor: I have the notion, that I have spotted him under several different aliases on ebay - allways the same extremely extraordinary offerings, at sky rocket prices...and allways the same semi-paranoid and aggresive rambling in exchange for any negative feedback!
If it is the same guy (and I can't see why it shouldn't be), I once asked for a photo of the plant for respectively a dark speckled and a red speckled godefroyae (if they had been real plants, then of extraordinary quality...well, I gather they are real plants somewhere in the world). I sent my requests for a photo on two different days - and, lo and behold, received the EXACT SAME photo as response!
So beware!
Kind regards, Jens

We have another project in the works but this would be interesting also.
