Cherry Treat is such a pretty red. It's a shame it doesn't perform better for you. I pick Christmas Day as my favorite since it is such a good performer.

Now remember Brad, picture posting issues were "fixed" last Friday!! Apparently, this forum was left out!! I like all the reds today. Lots of different ones. I once had Daveo years ago. Large flower indeed. It just sorta faded away. Red Skeletons does look huge.

Red skeleton and Cherry reat are my favorites today. It’s a shame Cherry Treat hasn’t done better for you. Looks like you had a Red day today!

That picture of Christopher Russel really caught my eye. The shading of the colors as they move towards the throat are gorgeous. My favorite by far.......Maryl

Red Skeletons is a very showy flower. Sometimes a little blotchy. So vigorous, it is not appreciated.

I agree, such a shame Cherry ztreat does not do better for you, a nice shade of red. I like Red Skeletons too. I have David Holiman too, I moved it last fall. It is a bit taller and the color deeper than it has been before.

thanks for all the nice comments. I too really like the color of Cherry Treat [I believe it has Cherry Cheeks as a parent, according to NGA. It's had all the advantages of various spots and nothing improved it. Same with Daveo.

My fave of these is Christopher Russell. I threaten Daveo Holman every year but haven't chucked it yet. I don't know why I keep giving it more chances....it is a stingy bloomer but I like the size of the blooms, the few times I've seen them.

Very drawn to Christopher Russell and the Christmas Day clump, too. All are very appealing.

Another vote for Christopher Russell! Red Skeletons also catches my eye. Great group!
