Florida Sunset

New one today.

Nice flower, is it a small flower?

Hi Kyle, no the bloom is not small and it is very pretty with a dark maroon center but it is kinda funny you should ask me as this is one of the cuttings you sent me.

Thats news to me..I don't have one like that one...LOL heres what Florida sunset should look like.
:-)

Not sure right now but this one could be Grace Goo. I'll have to review my files when I go home (!writing from office!).
It's a pretty bloom. Here in Europe we have a similar variety, called Columbine, but much smaller in size and bad form.

Yours is Florida Sunset for sure, Kyle.

Regards

Carlos

both beautiful hibbies

Got a better shot today, the center is a very dark red with a pink rim around it.

This is the center,

Stetchworth, that is beautiful. Is it hardy. Fran

Hi Fran, I don't know what this is I thought it was Florida Sunset but I was wrong, this is the first year I have had it and I will have to protect it from the winter. I have searched the web but I cannot find one like it. I'm hoping Kyle or someone will come up with its name.

wow that pink ring just glows. Beautiful Vi

Wish I did know what it is,,really beautiful. Now figure out where it came from??? LOL

Looks like Sahara Wind, going by this thread...

Dave, that's it, The center of mine is more dark red but that is it. I remember having a cutting of the Sahara Wind. Thanks!

Another possible name for this flower is "Topsy"
