This gladiolus is pretty, but was not supposed to be pink. This is a picture of the package that the bulbs came in:
See how the flowers are deep orange, and not frilly, a lot like freesia flowers?
That is why I bought this particular variety. Instead, I got frilly, and bicolor, and pink.
There is a "guarantee" on the package, that states if I'm not happy, I can return the packaging for a refund. Well, I'm not happy, but getting sent a check for $2.99 would trivialize my pain.
