Really pretty that Sweet Salina! I was wishing I had ordered one of those on my last order..and I think Purple Rain is going to look sort of like Gervase in her pink form without the red or extra stripes..I think I might like one of those next year..if you can show us her face when she fully opens we'd love it..Thanks for uploading all your pictures..

I don't know why Garden Web had trouble posting the last pic and message...It is MAGNUM ln the left and Merry Christmas on the right. They started out looking identical and same size but now MC is getting lighter and Magnum is getting darker I think. I really like them both.

I love those pinks. I am getting the reds easily but having trouble with Purple Rain. The right one loaded and I clicked on the image symbol to see the other in your Photobucket account. Well worth the extra effort.

This fall I will be mail ordering lots of pinks.

Very, very, pretty. Thanks for sharing them with us!

I need some Purple Rain. The one you have looks amazing.

Really great flowers Liz! That purple rain is stunning! Sorry i am not such a pink guy!

A follow up on this posting...As they age Magnum and MC are going in different directions. These two who started out hard to tell apart are very different now then when I posted this. Not sure it would show up in a photo...maybe I can take them outside today and get a pic. Magnum goes darker and darker, now a black red, and the petals round to the back where as MC becomes more orangy red and flared. Magnum is simply magnificent and well worth the shipping from RC and waiting for if you can get it. The blooms are lasting very well also. ITs a clear winner!
