    If the first picture is what it is supposed to be and the second is what you got then I would definitely contact them :thumb:

    I know that some hydrangea flowers change colour as they age, but that looks a differnt shape as well.

    That is not a paniculata, it looks like a mop head. The flower of the paniculata has a different structure. COMPLAIN!!!

    Some of these paniculata cultivars start white and turn pink as they mature the one in your picture has not opened up yet give it a few weeks.

    Have to say it looks exactly like my Vaniile Fraise does at the moment. Would post a picture but sadly can no longer get to PB or post pics anywhere due to extreme slow Dialup.
