Well the double bloom rose parade impatiens bloomed today. It's not even read like the package said it would be. it's purple and it's not a double bloom at all. The plant still looks more like a palm tree than a bush. It didn't branch at all inspite of pinching. And it doesn't seem to transplant at all well either. I am so disappointed. And the seeds were 4.95 for 40 lousy little seeds. Never again.

Yeah, got a picture?????

I ordered a pink butterfly bush several years ago and it had purple flowers. I was so disappointed. because I wanted to plant in my mom's yard because she loved pink flowers. I quit ordering from catalogs, but then considered it recently when I found Trillium plants offered. When I posted something here about it, I was told the company was no-no and had a bad track record, so I passed it up. It's hard to pass it up when it's something you want, but it's better than the disappointments, so I was glad to get the advice.

I get stuff from QVC, they have a few different companies that come there...
Roberta's, Cottage Farms, Instant Gardens, etc...
And they've had some really nice stuff...
*Not totally a whole big bargain* but
GUARENTEEDDDDDDDDDDDDD... anything I don't like,
and goes back, they don't question me, or anything..
and you have a ONE YEAR GUARENTEEEEE...
Not many places do that, buy a plant, and plant it, and it doesn't do good, you call up and say,
I wasn't happy with it's performance, and they credit your account the way you want it...

I've never sent anything "garden" back..
*once order had some green mold on the bulb,
but I wiped it off, and pulled the outter shell
off and planted and had really good lookin' plants after..

Well here are the images of the plant. Do you think I should write to Burpee's and tell them I'm very disappointed?

* * * *

it's tall about 20 inches tall from the top of the pot. I was wondering if I should e-mail Burpee's and tell them about it. I think I will. See if they will do anything about it.

* * * *

Ok, I sent them an e-mail I'll keep you posted as far as what happens from this point on.

Me too. No Park's Seeds for me, ever again.
Also, I ordered daylily seeds as that was the only way to get a huge variety of colors, but they never said that it takes 2 years to get flowers, and worse, never said in the catalog or on the phone that daylilies are poisonous to cats.
Once I saw that part online somwhere, I threw out the seeds. No way do I want lilies near, or even the pollen blowing through a window. That was one of the warnings.

Wow I had no idea there were so many problems with nurserys and seed companies. I'll have to start keeping a list of the good ones so I know where to look for seeds when I can't trade for them.

I have some balsam seeds I don't think I want to plant them if that is what they come up like. I guess I can put them in the seed exchange maybe someone else will like them.

* * * *

im thinkin balsams are a variety of impatiens.
and i do know if you plant them out,they will grow amuck from self seeding. had em growing out of every crack and cranny at old place i lived.

After I saw that flower, it just looked like that kind...

Must have been a switch up there..
Refunds are always good..
