Hi,
I was walking around this morning thinking about next springs garden layout and it occurred to me that I have not seen a deep/bright red trumpet lily. Can someone shed light on this?

Good day,
Andrew

There are no red species of trumpet lilies (that I know of). I think anthrocyanin is the pigment that produces red. Maybe you will find this basic genetic primer on the Cascade Bulb and Seed site helpful...
