    Are T&M are the company others bought the seeds from? It has been stated by others that have grown these that the colour of flower varied on the same plant.  I'm hoping with more sun and a bit of age we'll see some representative of the packet image.

    I’m growing Xsenia this year and they’ve grown into bushy plants without any pinching out and I was so proud of the seedlings and they’ve grown strong and healthy. Unfortunately the flowers are not like the picture, no subtle orange shades shimmering in the light. Just dusty dirty pink. I hope they improve with age. ☹️

    You've got to assume that the packets aren't always the truest indication. Like they pick the best flowers and the best lighting and higher saturation on the photo.

     I bought calendula pink suprise and I think the suprise was they weren't pink, they were orange.

    That made me chuckle, at least one part of the name was true!

    As soon as mine open up I'll take a few pictures but I'm prepared to be a lot underwhelmed

    Give the compost a good soaking in or out of the bag. The ants will leave. The compost will be fine for planting.

    One of the apricot lemonade flowers looks more like the packet, hopefully they keep improving.
