yeah, they didn't make the seeds, they just sell them. I don't remember what my PE bean looked like, but I know the seeds I made with her are dull gray and mostly white. I haven't germinated any of them yet, but I'm sure they will pop. Not all seeds look the same.
I've only used them twice. Did a test order and was happy with the results. Waiting on my second order from them now. If there is a problem with the quality of the seed then it's on the seed company, not the wholesaler, in this case The Attitude. They were recommended to me by another grower and from my first experience I would say they are a stand up company.
