Hi Victor,

I did buy them all in bloom. I tried looking for the tag of the noid but couldn't find it. (I really need to get better at labeling everything immediately!) But now I'm not sure which one is Cardinal Candy - I thought I knew, but now I'm second guessing. One of the candidates is much narrower and upright (but that one was moved several times so it probably hasn't had a chance to establish and grow much). The other has tripled in size and is much wider - probably 5' x 5'. the larger one looks very healthy - no pests, growing well and foliage looks good. The narrower one is not unhealthy but has not grown much - again probably because I can't make up my mind and I've moved it literally about 5 times in 2 years.

I'd love an ID on both. Leaves are similar enough that I can't tell from looking at pictures. When I google Cardinal Candy, I always get images of the berries. Are the flowers insignificant? Do you have any pics?

As for the noid name - I seem to recall the flowers on one of them being really pretty. White - similar to the picture below. I think I'd recognize the name if I saw it, so if you have any ideas based on the flower type in the picture, I'd love to hear them.
