Sharon, the picture you just posted is indeed 'Tahitian Sunset,' but it is a totally different flower than the one in the picture you posted earlier. It is different in remarkable ways so this isn't a matter of climate or seasonal differences. Look at the shape and cupping of the two flowers, the coIors in the center, the petal shape, etc. I don't like to put names to pictures, but your first picture is very similar to 'Guillot's Sunset.' Take a look for yourself here: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/101498/index.html and compare your picture to the other pictures. My 'Tahitian Sunset' looks like the O'Neill picture that you just posted, especially as colors start to fade. I got mine from Florida Colors, and they are using the same O'Neill picture: http://www.floridacolors.com/Tahitian Sunset.htm Maybe it is just your picture that is misnamed? Please feel free to get another opinion of someone at the PSA if you feel that I am wrong, but I think your first pic is classic 'Guillot's Sunset.'

Edited to fix spelling.
