For me it would not matter which picture was first as long as you show them both somehow. I know how it would look blooming because of some experience with horticulture, but not everyone does. The one photo shows honestly what it looks like so no one is suprised when they recieve it, while the other shows what it would look like after planting and care of it. It is a win-win siuation when done correctly and your sales should go up accordingly.
Make sure you do it in a way that people know that there are two pictures. On another note, you might want to try one auction one way and another auction another just to see which sells better. It will definitely get easier for you as time goes on. Do the hard work at the start and then you don't have to worry as much later.
