Last month I posted photos of an Amaryllis blooming.
I expected it to be a peach color. I have many reds and whites.
I wrote to the supplier and told them that the bulb I ordered,
Amaryllis Exotica, had turned out to be a double red/white.
Their emailed reply stated that they were sorry
that the bulb BLOOMED INCORRECTLY and that they would ship another.
I just received an email that a new bulb was being shipped at no cost to me.
Now folks, really?
Why not admit that a person packed and shipped the wrong bulb?
Why blame the poor bulb?
What is this world coming to, when we blame a plant instead of a person?
Let’s admit that a mistake was made.
I will let you know if the new bulb BLOOMS CORRECTLY in a few months.

One year i had a project with 10,000 tulips planted as annuals, and yes, the wrong color was planted and somebody put preemergent herbicide down on them. Bad tulips.

I have had that happen and I think the expensive colors I ordered came out white. I also have blooming shrubs that are grafted with 2 different colors that bloom at different times. And a rose that was labeled improperly and ended up being a robust climber.

I bought a beautiful floribunda rose, Gruss An Aachen, even though I swore never to buy another rose of any sort. The bloom was exquisite and seduced me into the purchase. I think the graft died and left me with a weedy and vigorous root-stock. Grafted plants are tricky, because the graft is usually picky.

The flowers in my garden may bloom incorrectly if they wish – I won’t tell them off for it, hehe!

I got such a kick out of that email. I still order from them. They have the best amaryllis bulbs.
