Actually, it's more of a purple than red looking bloom to me . . . The individual flowers that make up the bloom on the Royal Red ones have a white mid-section to the flower with a deep red / maroon dot in the very middle.

The ones I ordered called 'Twilight' have more of a solid purple flower with the same deep red dot in the middle. Basically the same bloom structure and color, minus the white.

I'll attach a close-up photo of the Royal Red one I have now.

And here's a link to the one I ordered - with photos.
