Title: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 26, 2011, 11:21:10 AM 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.
dave Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: Maureenpm00 on December 26, 2011, 12:04:44 PM Very pretty, saffron or burnt saffron?
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 26, 2011, 12:37:15 PM Neither of those but the color sure resembles Burnt Saffron
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: davidwood on December 26, 2011, 03:05:05 PM Dave I think that maybe your Denim Revolution.
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 26, 2011, 03:34:05 PM This is the first bloom on this cultivar which opened this morning, then it reflexed.
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 27, 2011, 07:45:04 AM A couple of day 2 pics from early this morning.
dave Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: Charlie on December 27, 2011, 08:25:45 AM Sure is a nice full bush you've grown but I still can't tell what variety it is.....
Charlie Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: farmer d on December 27, 2011, 10:58:27 AM No idea but that is a very healthy and robust plant you have there.
Farmer D Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: Doll on December 27, 2011, 11:10:54 AM The ruffled bloom looks like Prosperity
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 27, 2011, 01:10:54 PM It's not Prosperity. Hope I can snag one of those on the 30th.
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 28, 2011, 09:04:53 AM Mystery bloom 3rd day. There are several photos of this cultivar's normal flower posted in the forum this year.
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 31, 2011, 11:33:46 AM 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.
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: farmer d on December 31, 2011, 05:42:43 PM 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.
Farmer D Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: helixturnhelix on December 31, 2011, 06:40:03 PM Is this Picante?
Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 31, 2011, 07:21:04 PM 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. dave Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: Charlie on December 31, 2011, 08:13:58 PM Flickering Flame? The cold sure did a number on this flower!
Charlie Title: Re: Late December mystery Post by: roadrunner on December 31, 2011, 08:20:38 PM 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.
