Congrats on your new purchases, Teresa! Woohoo! You are very welcome. You know, the characteristics match much more closely 'Kauka Wilder' than they do 'Teresa Wilder.' It could be a very pale 'Kauka Wilder' if it has not been exposed to much heat. Heat will bring out the red color and the intensity of color. It doesn't look like a 'Kauka Wilder' now because of the muted colors, but that could change with a little heat and sunlight. Does it smell like strong coconut suntan lotion? Scent is subjective, but 'Kauka Wilder' has one of the best fragrances and reminds me very much of Hawaii. Here is a link where it describes characteristics from petal overlap to growth habit. You can compare your plant to the plant described on Page 19: http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/OF-31.pdf Here is a picture below of my 'Kauka Wilder.' I think you should go with what you were told it was if you purchased it from a reputable seller.
