I'm sure a lot of you already know not to make this mistake, but as a novice gardener, I decided to buy some English Bluebells from a nursery called Humphreys Garden on Amazon. Months later, they have appeared and they are Spanish bluebells. Just a word of warning. I suppose I should have known. These are what came up:
This is what was advertised:

    I have just submitted a review. However the seller might create a new listing later this year so that there are no reviews and they can sell Spanish ones again. If they use the same listing and they're back in stock hopefully the review will help some people.

    I agree - I certainly read them.
    I'd also contact Amazon for a refund.

    I will try to contact Amazon when their customer service goes back to taking calls. Thank you.

    Perhaps also worth contacting the seller with your pictures. The worst they can do is ignore it. Most of their feedback is positive and it looks like a legit UK seller (not like the multicolour roses from China nonsense) so it could have been a genuine mistake.
