I bought some Crocus and a Crocus has come up but not what I was expecting. Same supplier as everyone else. Are we about to name and shame?
I'm all for naming and shaming PROVIDED that the suppliers attention has been drawn to the problem and that he has failed to respond to it in an appropriate way. There can be a number of reasons why the 'wrong' bulb comes up; a mistake in packing; a mistake made by a wholesaler supplying a retailer and no doubt others. I would not expect any reputable supplier to intentionally supply the 'wrong' product in order to deceive or defraud a customer.
When this situation happens at our nursery we apologise, give a refund, let the customer keep the bulb.....
We too had offered & supplied Crocus cvijicii in autumn 2007, purchased from a proven wholesale supplier that summer which then turned out not to be Crocus angustifolius
