Crocus Not As Advertised


It's great to see the crocus in bloom.  These were unexpected, however.  Planted last fall, the bulbs were a promising, new and exciting addition to the garden.


This is what I was hoping for. I'm not sure if these yellow-flowered bulbs were mislabelled or if the orange ones never came up and I'm now mistaking them for the yellow ones. It's easy to lose track of all the crocus in the garden. Has anyone ever seen an "Orange Monarch" in bloom?

I love the early spring crocus, for the cheer they bring when you most appreciate it. Like you, I got a few mislabeled ones last fall. I planted over a thousand bulbs, and only 2 types were mislabeled, so I guess it's not a bad average, but it's still disappointing when you are looking forward to a certain colour. Your bulbs are a bright, sunny yellow, but there is no hint of orange. They do say 'New'. Maybe yellow is the new orange? By coincidence (or not) one of my mislabeled type of bulbs was from the same packager as the ones you show.

I work with a specialist recycling service who recycle trickier items such as: food waste, cooking oil, electrical equipment, computer equipment and circuitry, and air conditioning as well.
I really liked your site, and I wondered if you would be interested in a guest post on your site about recycling food waste? Please drop me an email if you are interested! Many thanks :) seth at jumpingspidermedia dot co uk
