I mostly lurk here, but I have a rather amusing story about flowers being
mislabeled or misrepresented......

My son was murdered on November 20th, 1999. To honor him I created a garden
in his honor. I planted it in the symbol for the bleeding heart which is an
inside circle of red, bordered with white. I have kept myself busy finding
plants that bloomed red and white. The first year, I ordered 12 white day
lilies. In the online picture they appeared pure white, but when they
bloomed they were a cream color...... I bought white irises, which were
mislabeled and bloomed white with purple tips. I bought white petunias
which half of them bloomed purple. I planted white roses, which last year
on Mother's Day, bloomed with red flowers. (They had always bloomed white
in past years, but bloomed with several red roses on two different bushes
last year on Mother's Day.) This year two orange day lilies of a completely
different kind bloomed in with the cream colored ones.

I have decided that this is a sign from heaven that my son wants a little
color in his garden, and perhaps he wants his mother's heart to stop
bleeding........... but that will never happen.

I ordered a turks cap lily collection from ww.dutchbulbs.com last year.

Out of 2 red, 2 yellow, 2 orange, and 1 purple turks cap, I recieved 3
yellow,
1 white, 1 dead, and 2 not large enough to flower.

Just felt like airing that here.
