I should have been a sack of just the yellow ones - but I wouldn't

Was the sack sealed when you bought it, or was it open? If open and
bought from a garden centre, it's not unusual for people (particularly
of the young variety...), to pick up bulbs and put them back in the
wrong place!

Nope. It was a complete and unopened sack of traditional yellow daffodil
bulbs from a reputable garden centre.


If you buy enough then you invariably get the odd volunteer.


I once bought a 56lb sack of a named variety (from Nyssens) and planted
them out in grass. Only when they flowered did it dawn they were not the
ones I'd ordered. Obviously a labelling error. Nyssens apologised,
refunded the cost and the following autumn they sent me a sack of the
right sort I'd wanted. Now that's what I call keeping the customer
happy...
