I think my most disappointing purchase was HOT EMBER. It looked stunning in the advertising photo. I desired it. Vibrant, blaring orange, heavy.

Phizzzle. Thin, variable in colour, often wan with low scapes.

Now I use the databases before I finally decide.

I think my others were two that turned out to be not what I ordered when they eventually flowered 1-2 years later. This has happened several times but these two the supplier kept on giving ids they weren't. I think he and I gave up in the end but I don't think he should have.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
