Hi Oleg,

Well, my Susan has the same faint red in the throat, although yours is stronger.

Susan

and my Vera doesn't.

Vera

So, I would say that you have them labeled correctly. Also I've never seen a Susan with such a vibrant flower, sadly I have neither of these bulbs any more, deceased for one reason or another... of the two, Vera was my favorite.

Donna

I love my Vera, and it looks like your Vera.

Hi Donna!
Yes, your Vera is very bright!
Please tell us, perhaps you remember where Susan blossomed - in the room or in the garden? I guess she blossomed in the room.

That's right, Vera was planted outside in a bucket for this picture and Susan bloomed inside a few years later. You are probably right, the blooming outside makes for a much more vibrant flower. I still prefer the color of Vera over Susan, she is a more coral pink to my eye. ;-)

I like them both - each in its own way, as I like to chat with you! :-)

Susan has a fragrance, it is the flower type - medium strength.

So my smooshed bloom from a month or so ago was in fact H. Susan, just as I had guessed.

Hi Kristi.

You are shown a photo? Can I ask for a link or picture?

It's on page 2 under "Smooshed bloom ID"

*Susan, just as I had guessed.*

I watched. Yes, apparently you're right. This is Susan.
