You know, you buy some plants specifically for their color or form. Occasionally you buy them out of season and trust that the nursery is giving you correct information just to find out when they start blooming that they are NOT what you wanted. Granted, they are still beautiful, but sometimes you just want what you want.
I paid a fortune for a japanese white camellia, only to find out now that it is a deep pink/red, and a hellebore the guy GUARANTEED was red is white.
Sometimes you just have to buy them when they are in bloom and coddle them through the summer.
