Color changes
Bill R
It seems that mislabeling is becoming more of a problem
every year. I bought some very dark (almost black) Glads
(from a local dealer) and gave some of them to a neighbor.
All of our bulbs bloomed orange, very pretty, but not what
we expected.
Well, how do bulb growers determine what color bulbs are going to be? I assume
that the bulbs 'breed true' for a certain number of generations, but there is
always the risk of cross-fertilization with other color groups.
