I agree. I was actually going to join the group, but not after that happened! I can't say anything bad about the group as a whole, as maybe they were just having a bad year, with bad sellers, but I got burned, and I'm not willing to try again. Maybe the nursery I bought them from switched the tags, but I find that really hard to believe. The owner of the nursery has been a great seller, and I've bought almost all of my other plants from her without any problems. I think she just got the bad deal to begin with, and wouldn't have passed them along to me had she known. I'm positive that she would have taken the tags off and listed them as "mixed" if she had known ahead of time. I know that she has done that since my problem, which was the right thing to do. I should have gotten my money back on all of them, or an equal number of replacements, but it's all water under the bridge now. Also, the nursery probably had those daylilies for several years before I bought them, so who would I even know who to blame for sure? I just won't buy another daylily from there again, even if it's blooming!
I've also had horrible luck getting the right iris! I've spent a small fortune on them, trying to get some pink ones, and I've got every color but pink! No more iris purchases from me unless they are blooming when I buy them, or I'm standing there when they are divided!
The good news about the daylilies is that I found a new home for all of them. I gave them to my Dad, and he's thrilled to have them. He sends me e-mail updates daily about what is blooming, and he really loves them. I was so mad to begin with, but since they have made my Dad happy, I guess it turned out okay. Yes, I wasted a bunch of money, but it's okay. I got a few pretty seedlings from them, so I guess it wasn't a total waste.
