Is it me or the seller of my calla's?

15 years ago

I am new to calla's and am trying to grow them in pots indoors. A little over 2 months ago I purchased bulbs on ebay for about $60.00. I ordered 4 varieties, flame red, royal purple, yellow and an orange apricot. In each pot I planted 1 large bulb of each variety. One pot has grown very tall solid green leaves and has bloomed pink cala's. The other pot has large elephant ear type leaves that are dark green with white spots and has bloomed only one flower which is white. Both pots have the same miracle grow potting soil, get sufficient water and are in a very sunny window.I can't figure out why these plants look totally different. They were shipped to me with each variety in clearly labeled paper lunch bags. I've tried contacting the seller twice and have not received a response. Why are these not blooming the correct color and why would the leaves be totally different? I appreciate any help you can give me.

It's not you. The leaves are correct for the flowers. Pink and Crystal Blush have leaves without spots. The seller must have sent you the wrong bulbs. I hope it wasn't me!

Oh, I see who you bought them from. This is the lady that stole photos off my website, and when I confronted her, she first tried to say she took them, then tried to say some friends of hers took them and sent them to her.

She refused to take them off her auctions, I had to go to ebay twice, faxing in forms and going through a heck of a lot of work to get her to finally take them down. Oh, and she had the photos on her website too!

All that aside, if she is a reputable seller she should refund your money or at the least send you new bulbs.

Thank you for your help, honeybunny. I wish I had purchased them from you. Unfortunately,I can't even get this seller to answer any of my emails. Next time, I'll be more careful. Thanks so much.
