[QUOTE=gngrhill;785711]I have a question maybe you could answer. Different genera, bloomed red red first time, rebloom was more maroon. If light made the difference, would it need more light or less light to get the red red back ?[COLOR="Silver"]

I would say if the second time it bloomed darker, use less light...but it could be other factors effecting the bloom color too, its hard to say.

Bright light will affect colors of Cyms differently. For whites and greens, deep shade will clarify whites and result in deeper, clearer greens. Sun will cause most greens to yellow and whites to blush. However, sunlight on reds, roses, yellows and oranges IN THE BUD STAGE will result in deeper and more vivid colors but if kept in sun after they open, will cause premature fading, especially of the red shades.

That is a fantastic color!
