You'll have to do your own research on that.

Not necessarily. As I said, he may be being told they're ABC and passing that along without the knowledge of what they really are. Going on what it resembles rather than what it is genetically. But they really missed the mark on that Low Giant.
Or, it's also possible he knows they're not cultivars, and he's the one that's not being square with you. In which case, it won't matter where he gets them or what he tells you.
I don't mean to sound so cynical, but I've seen it too many times that people take advantage of others who see the pretty plants at a good price and jump in headfirst without doing their own research as to its legitimacy. I remember a young Chef who, years ago, bought a triple pack of seeds for a blue capensis, a blue spatulata, and blue VFT's. It wasn't a total loss, he ended up growing enough basil to make a nice pesto.

Diflora is a much more reputable seller than Ernesto21. If Diflora is claiming it's ABC, then it's a very, very high likelihood that it will be ABC. As to your pic of the B52, and your complaint that it's small, remember that plants grow. Plus, they're not going to sell you a full grown, mature plant for $9. For a fully mature B52 that has reached its full size, you'd likely pay closer to $50.

Absolutely not. If you want to spend a lot of money I can help you with said obsession. Just send the money to me so I can buy some. JK. lol
