Here's another shot of it. I wish the color was truer, it's actually a darker red than the pictures. The close up is closer. For some reason (I'm still fighting with my camera) reds and yellows do not seem to photograph true.

That is soooo pretty! I have to find myself one of these. Is it a large plant?

Thanks for the additional pic. I have the same problem with my camera. The reds are either too red or not red enough. Yellow isn't such a problem.....course I don't have anything yellow that has bloomed yet!

This is the first year blooming. The spike is about 18". I expect it to be of 'average' height next year.
I'd say a medium compared to some hybrids that have spikes 3 and 4 feet long.

Very nice shaped flower, and the photograph is of good quality!

I have found that I am able to capture the truest colors when my photographs are composed in the outdoors, under natural light.

Thanks Corbin, I can't wait to try outdoor photography of my 'chids but the temps are just to cold. It's 46f here today. Maybe by July!
