New this morning is a NOID unofficially we named it Levinicus as it came from my neighbors mum in CA and their last name is Levin. Goes back in their family over 80 years.

The other pic is two blooms that I have thought to be the same variety but comparing the two seems like they maybe different. I thought it had red petals with a fuschia tint on the center but now the second plant is showing much more of the Fuschia color. I thought they were cutting off one of my original plants. Could there be that much variation?

Those Curly Locks seedlings that started last November are growing fast. Tapped one out the pot today and found roots curling around the inside of the pot. Will be potting them onto to hanging pots and putting them in a better location. They need to have somewhere to hang and not be in a bench pot.
