I just had an ad pop up on my phone for some interesting flowers and off course supposedly a lot of people are buying them. If that is really the case they've not done their sure diligence to see if the site is legit. I took a screenshot of the flowers and then promptly googled the web site.
The domain belongs to no one. No surprise there. The ad showed flowers in the shadow of a kittens face and also flowers that looked exactly like a butterfly.
Now to see if the image will show up here.
(I've been scammed a few times by fake ads so now I try to look everything up first. Although there are times when an item might have a high rating and your find out later the rating is done by the company itself).
Whoops-i spelled the web address wrong. There might actually be such a place. Although I don't see how it can be legit.

I agree. When things look to good to be true they probably are. Or in this case when it looks impossible it probably is.

It is real smart to look things up and double check on this nowadays.

@MarshaMusselman My antivirus blocked the page informing that it was a dangerous site and I have found online that people have reported having been scammed.

They are scam flowers. There are no such thing as that type of flower and they're just taking people's money.

@MarshaMusselman Surprising that people would make an order and not check out where the company is and where their money is going, This is a site I found online

There's no way those are real.
I did just look up the site and it does seem to have a lot of seeds of 'normal' plants available too, but this doesn't seem believable. They give the scientific name as Cryptanthus ?i?ittatus but when I looked that up it turns out to be a bromeliad, as they say, but it looks nothing like the pictures, see it here described by the Royal Horticultural Society, they describe the flowers as inconspicuous:
The whole page is odd as well, why is the text in a mixture of fonts and sizes? All very suspicious.

It does sound like a scam. But those are cute flowers even though they are fake.

Now if plastic flowers were made like that it would be one thing. But for them to appear to claim these as being real are preposterous.

The site might be legit, but some of the products definitely not. Candy Cane Oxalis for instance is not grown from seed - that is a bulb. At least they have return policy, but it does require the product to be unused, so if your catty flowers turn out to be real dogs, you cannot return. And a bit on the pricey side. Interesting for a look around, put I would not pass on any money to them.
