wrong color: Peach colored Gladiolus bloomed bright Purple/Yellow
I ordered 'Legolas' gladiolus (peach colored) in April 2023 after receiving a confirmation that they were back in stock. The gladiolus bulbs were in great condition (Gladiolus 'The Bride' was not and did not grow), but since I planted them late, only one bloomed in the season they were ordered (August 2023). It was a garish purple/yellow bicolor. (for a garden that is booked for weddings, so very bad color clash) Thinking the bulb color might be a fluke, I waited till this year (July 2024) to see what color the rest were. All have been wrong color. I sent my order documentation with pictures of the promised bulb and a photo of the actual bulb, but to date have received no response -- not even an acknowledgement of my request. I recently re-sent the same information as a second request. After sending the first request, I found a complaint from April 2024 on a similarly colored gladiolus where the customer received... purple and yellow -- not pink-- flowering bulbs. The facts point to a systemic (not occasional) problem based on reading other reviews, so I agree that this is a company that should be avoided. It was within their power to avoid this negative review. I did not go public with my experience until they failed to address the issue.
