Default What a rip-off!!!

I'm definitely dischuffed! I went to Tatton Park Flower Show in June, and
bought three nice big Colchicum 'Waterlily' bulbs at £3.00 each. Expensive,
yes, but they are so lovely when they flower, I didn't mind paying the
price. The trouble is, now that they've flowered - you've guessed it - they
are certainly NOT 'Waterlily'. Nice as they are, they are just the ordinary
single pink Colchicums which I could have bought locally for a fraction of
the price. Even if I had thought to make a note of the Nursery who sold
them to me (which I didn't), I think they felt safe in assuming that I would
probably not be able to travel all that way north again to complain and
demand my money back. I'm sick of being ripped-off at Shows by being sold
plants which are wrongly labelled. Has anyone else been had like this?
