Orange Candleflower

From: James Waddick <jwaddick at kc.rr.com> on 2012.03.08 at 02:56:00(22647) Dear Aroiders, I got a Michigan Bulb Company catalog and wondered why they are still in business. Beside that, they advertised 'Orange Candleflower" which made me visit their web site. Hard to tall what the foliage is like, but this is not a flower of Arum italicum. The seed filled stems in the inset may be, but what do you think of this mash up ? http://www.michiganbulb.com/product/Orange_Candleflower/Bulbs?p22504&gclid=CI7ezvOl1q4CFUQUKgode2vHbw Also found on Holand Bulb Farms web site. I'd laugh if it was really funny. Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.

From: Don Martinson <llmen at wi.rr.com> on 2012.03.11 at 00:04:21(22651) They lie! And what is more perplexing is that they actually received a favorable rating from Consumer Reports several years ago – based on the receipt of a single healthy Clematis! I’ve usually depended upon CR for a relative unbiased review of vendors, but in this case, they really screwed up....

I did see something which MIGHT give me a reason to grow Tulips, Variegated Firespray, but it was out of stock. I wonder what sun in what galaxy yielded up some of these colours. hermine +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

The seed filled stems in the inset may be, >but what do you think of this mash up ? Jim, A rather nice colour enhanced Arum dioscoridis perhaps? Pretty if it were that intense, but then I reckon they're pretty enough in reality without the colour enhancement. Cheers.

It is called marketing. It is very common that the pictures are edited to make the plant more attractive. I think the biggest problems are with the pre-packed bulbs with capper. And they do forget to tell about the smell of Sauromatum guttatum (Typhonium venosum, or what ever name you like).
