    I think the heat sent a lot of things dormant and now they think it is Spring. My Hamamelis lost all its leaves, and now has new ones.

    I have three pots of nerines open and one in bud. These were a job lot of four different varieties, all labelled and planted separately. They didn't flower last year. This year I have three pots of identical pink sort, and possibly a pot of white. Do you think it is too late to complain to the supplier?

    @fidgetbones. I do not think it is too late.
    That is the trouble with having plants sometimes waiting until they flower.
    If they are reputable there should not be a problem.
    We bought a Clematis Perle d'Azur for a relative last year, and when it flowered it was a pink stripey one, no way a blue shade of any description.
    The company we bought it from apologized, quickly refunded the costs and said keep the plant as they did not have a replacement.
    They either trust customers, value their reputation, or know/knew there was a problem with a batch perhaps. Mistakes happen.
