What a dark beauty!
It has taken on more orange (almost brown tinged) than red that is usually seen in this cultivar.
That makes it even more outstanding
Yes Dorothy,
This is very dark but it has got extreme amounts of light last summer, almost direct sun. It also recieved daytime temperature above 30 degree Celcius during growth and cooler nights.
I have some back bulbs of this plant that decided to flower on very old bulbs that had not flower before. They were much lighter red in color why I think it is the high light that gave the dark red color!
