Anemone & Ranunculus - Paris In Spring Collection

Paris in Spring

Bulbs have grown well even with the cold snaps we have had this year. Looking forward to flowers in the future with them.

Lots of work for nothing

The plants grew but no blooms so what's the point?

Lies and disappointment

I've had my eye on this since I started gardening last year. I ordered it in January and waited anxiously until spring for it to come. When it finally arrived I was disappointed to see that I only got 6 anemone corms, though the website clearly says there would be 10. At that point I seriously considered returning them, but decided not to because I wanted both the anemones and the chamallow ranunculus. Additionally, other retailers were sold out of white anemones with black centers before my corms arrived. Nonetheless, I was excited for my flowers (anticipating 6 anemones and 6 chamallow ranunculus given that 6 of the ranunculus corms were noticeably bigger than the rest). I soaked them for a few hours then planted them- almost all of them germinated. When they finally bloomed, I was very disappointed that all the ranunculus were bright pink and not the two-toned petals that appear light pink as advertised. Lesson learned: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
