Do you remember sending out cuttings from Eric a while back. I think it was the fall before last. I recieved some cuttings marked "Frosty Pink hybrid". I assumed it was an Eric cross that looked like FP. The plant never bloomed last year but I've had several blooms this year.

Anyhoo... I have been going all summer long thinking this plant was Dr. Suess. I even collected it's pollen, and used it as a pollen doner. This morning I thought... I wonder why that Dr.S isn't turning orange like my other one. I thought .... maybe it's in too much shade. I finally bent down and looked at the tag... it's the Frosty Pink hybrid. What a numbskull I can be!

Is this what the FP hybrid is supposed to look like? I had expected it to be pink. Or maybe it's a tag mix up??
