Not currently. I'm not sure if I have it any longer. I'll watch out for it this winter.

One that you may like that has a red eye and pink blush is "All that Jazz"  Darren has this one, and it looks to be a good bloomer.  I do think that wings of grace has better for, but the coors on ATJ is pretty close. 

Blushing Peach is one that was offered this year that was also this pink/peach color bloom with a red eye :)

Thanks Chris. Actually, the main reason I was interested in Wings of Grace was that it is a High Voltage cross. I figure they have a better chance of being heat tolerant.

I keep hoping that Fallen Hero shows up in the store also. :)

ah well then blushing peach would probably be pretty good since it is a saffron cross, which does well in hot weather. 

Another one that blooms very well in the high desert of California (where my parents live) is cinnamon girl, probably why your cinnamon splendor does so well.  Space Oddity also does very well at their house.  Although these arent in the right color category as wings of grace, still good hot weather ones :)

Chris, Blushing Peach has grown well and performed well for us so far. Hopefully that will continue.

John D, I'm glad you mentioned Fallen Hero. That one has not been easy to propagate but I like it and have kept several plants of it going. It sells quickly when we have it so I try to make some plants available each year. I haven't done so this year but will give it a go soon and perhaps by mid summer a decent size plant will be ready.
