Two new ones.

13 years ago

I found these two at Home Depot today. They had received a new a shipment, because the last time I was there, there was only two left. The plants didn't look their best though. I think I'm going to keep these in the shade for the now. The leaves look like they need some light.

These are from C Star. OH they also had some inflo's. Many of them were broken so I tried to get the best ones with some flower buds left.

The first one is "Playful" with a pinkish flower.

This one is called "Lady Red" according to the tag.

Mark, they look great. Good catch! I knew I had seen a list of AKA names for C star so went looking and found it.
Playful aka Cancun Pink. light bubblegum pink, large bright pink flowers with gold center, very sweet baby powder scent. Flowers easily, but poor keeping quality. The flowers have a sweet fragrance.
There is not an AKA for Lady in Red.
Hope you find more great buys. :)

So the Playful buds opened up. The first one opened up on Thursday, and today there was a second one. The first flower faded to white but still has the golden center.

Mark, searching today and found a C Star "Red Lady Fades to Purple. Beautiful 2 2 ÃÂ½Ã¢ÂÂ butter yellow eye and shaped like Calcutta star." Though I'd pass it on.
