Nice. I've been afraid of this one- seems like the kind where I'd get one that was the ugly duckling :) My Mac's Southern Springtime has markings somewhat like it (and it's not exactly small either). I've seen some really nice photos of it though.

Very pretty. For irregular markings, it is nicely marked. It looks large but photos are deceptive.

Nice photography, very clear. Good color. Is that the color you are seeing. It is a black cherry red, from the color on my monitor.

I have 2 and I love them! One has huge, lush, darker blooms and one has smaller, tighter blooms with more white edge. Both are heavy bloomers and the blooms last a long time. Fresh blooms are a pink cherry red that age to a light maroon. Mine aren't as variable as your picture. One plant looks like the color of your dark blooms and one like your light ones. I really don't think this one could be an ugly duckling.

Gorgeous!

Mine grows very slowly.

It's grown into a nice-sized plant ... 12" across or so. The blooms are nice-sized, as well.

Lovely plant! Mine grew so slowly & was never robust.

Hi aegis, well I lost my entire collection last year and patiently waited until it was possible to replace a few ( fourteen to be exact). And the vendor was kind enough to give me three as bonus, well frosty cherry was one of my bonuses. It's a small plant as you can see but it has two blooms on it and they are Hugh. I really love Hugh blooms.i only hope I don't have the same luck as last year with them. Velleta
