Well, to start July I had this FFO in the garden this morning. The plant was sent to me as SC FREAKY TIKI but I think it's pretty obviously not a round, stippled orange flower. Any ideas? My best guess is JULIE NEWMAR but I am open to other thoughts.

It's a shame that so many people are getting the wrong plants this year.

That stinks JWWC! I'm not going to vote for Julie Newmar though, unless the color in all of the pictures in the database are way off. To me, it's not even close to that one. It is beautiful though!

I was basing it on the eye, edge and midribs when looking through the sellers website. If you look at the database, mattsmom has some pictures that look very similar. Either way, I don't think it's going to stay - it does nothing for me.

It still looks very different to me for some reason. Mattsmom has the closest picture, but I just don't see the same flower. Is the color correct in your picture? I still like it, but would be very disappointed too.

It's pretty close. The petals are lighter than they appear. I will have to check again when I get home. It came as 2 single fans so I will definitely have to check the other if/when it blooms.

I sure hope the other one is correct! Did you contact the seller? I sure hope they will either give you a refund or send the correct plant!

ASHTON'S GIGGLES? I will have to get more pics when some of the other buds open. I think the next one in line is fused.

I would say no to Ashton Giggles also. Did the person who sent it not know what it is?

I haven't gotten a response. Not a huge deal - there was an issue with PayPal and I was never charged. Even after contacting PayPal they couldn't get in touch with the merchant. I guess you get what you pay for! Whistling

Thanks everyone. I just went out to see a bud on what was supposed to be Dragonfly Dawn open. From the same seller/same order. It's not DD. Crying I'm assuming the few other plants from that same order were included are probably wrong. Back to the drawing board for my crosses this year. Shrug!

Did you get these from The Lily Auction or eBay? If so, I'd like to know the seller's name.

No. I ordered from their website. I paid via PayPal with a credit card so I may have some recourse.
