Judy, your's pictured may not be 'Pink Favorite', but it is a nice pink. Very nice tendrils!

My 'Pink Favorite' is my best performer, hands down, three years running. It's rarely without at least one or more blooms. And a full flush? I've not been able to count the total flowers on a full flush... I quit counting after 100. Mine grows in part sun, with probably 60% or so shade. I have another that has not 'Y'd yet that I am trying in a much sunnier position - probably 80% to 90% sun. I'll see how it does.

The blooms can be very large, but in extreme temps (either hot or cold), they will be a little smaller. And in the summertime, they get a very dark pink. The flowers also lost longer on average than others for me. In the summer, I will sometimes get 3 days out of a PF flower, which for me is really good. Most only last 2 days or so.

The pics I posted in that thread aren't even good pictures of her. Here is a better one...
