Alice, we've been calling it Three Ring Circus, but we need a name change because . . it isn't really ringed distinctively . . and . . we don't support circuses in the classic sense because of their history of animal cruelty . . bad form for us Peta members. However, we do Luvvvvv the Cirque de Soleil productions! Anyhow, here's another shot of that variety. IF y'all want to play, I'll send a plant of it in spring to the person submitting a name Susan likes (and of course all _I_ do is rubber stamp her wishes.)

What you may want to know is that is has extreme vigor and outblooms 90% of the other exotics who live here, is 6-7" in diameter, and will be offered to Hines this August because it roots at 100% also. I kinda doubt they will buy it because the coloring is more subtle than their typical preferences. But ya never know.
So any list members who have a name suggestion . . post it here and other folks can comment if they wish, and we'll keep this open a week or so. Other stuff you should know about our naming . . we love old songs (and we're young sixties in age), we don't use names that refer to use of alcohol because we object to THAT also . . (picky, aren't we?)
;-)
and we generally try not to use names that might glorify any of Mankind's worst habits . . things like war and pro sports . .
;-)
Go for it!
