Yet another frustration.

No matter how many times I make a resolution never more to buy seeds online I once again gave in to my addiction and ordered for them. The seeds germinated and grew into healthy plants but the flowers are a disappointment. I was expecting multi coloured 4 o clock (Mirabilis) flowers but I see just white. I already have a white. There is just one that is red and a few more have yet to show what flowers they will be. I wonder what benefit these supplies get by cheating their customers. Will I forever give up ordering for seeds on line? I have no answer.

Yes, that's how not all sellers are honest, maybe you should check the store's ratings and reviews before deciding to buy it.

They came up so well - a step better than the earlier lot but not the flowers they promised

@AmbiePam There are two or three plants that have yet to show and I hope they will be coloured.

I gave up. After being deceived several times, I now only buy at one store and I have never been deceived. I have a bag full of 4 o'clock seeds, I would be glad to give them to you, I have many different colours.

I did receive tomato seeds from someone in the UK. We both are members of a garden forum I successfully produced tomatoes up to three generations. He sent them to me by post. So when will I receive those seeds?

@LadyDuck I was just joking. You are really kind I will wait for some more days as there are a few plants that have yet to show what coloured flowers they will have.
