This one just opened and is quite reflexed which isn't it's normal look. If the bloom form improves I'll add more pics.

Sure is a nice full bush you've grown but I still can't tell what variety it is.....

No idea but that is a very healthy and robust plant you have there.

The ruffled bloom looks like Prosperity

It's not Prosperity. Hope I can snag one of those on the 30th.

Mystery bloom 3rd day. There are several photos of this cultivar's normal flower posted in the forum this year.

First bloom lasted 5 days. Second bloom opening this morning, looking slightly closer to normal appearance.  Third and fourth photos taken this afternoon.  This one is also currently in the online store in Multi-Color.

OK - I looked over the multi-colored list a bunch of times and this is still really hard.  I see the ruffling so that helps narrow it down.  I thinking Sleeping Beauty or Bonnie Lass.  It is so red that if it's SB that is really a cold weather effect.

Not any of those.  I'd never guess it if I hadn't seen the tag though today's pics are starting to hint at its identity.

One of the parents is Heavy Metal and Farmer D has posted several pictures of it.

Flickering Flame? The cold sure did a number on this flower!

You've got that right. Charlie have you noticed the difference in the bloom color in today's pictures compared to the first bloom right after being brought inside from the unheated laundry room? The plant has now been inside the house for about a week. This second bloom is starting to show some gold and a hint of orange. I'm wondering how the next bloom will look with longer exposure to the warmer house temperatures plus some direct sun. If you are interested I'll post any relevant pics.
