I don't have a name for it. It was given a handful of cuttings years ago and I just put them in some pots. They now reside in two huge pots. I think it is just coincidental that both the white and this coral colored one bloomed at the same time, but there are some buds on other parts too.

Like I said earlier, there is a really, really deep red with magenta highligts in one of these two pots that blooms in the fall. Actually it starts blooming in September and keeps it up until December. It is slightly smaller than these two. Also it holds its bloom nicely for about five days or so.

Here is a pic of it. It is such a brilliant red that even the camera can't get it properly. This was taken about a year and a half ago. I don't have the name of it either. Like I said, I was given about five cuttings over 15 years ago, and this is the result.
