All my reds except Decelles' Flamingo are blooming so I thought I'd document their growth in my journal. Some of these I've had for awhile and some I just received from LLG and their blooms look...

Bonnie I have never liked Pow Wow. I'm not liking July Renegade either. I have a 2008 Lyons catalog with a color picture of JR. It looks just like yours. The write-up says it's supposed to be dark...

What beautiful reds, Bonnie! Well, at least for the most part! Maybe Pow Wow will hold its blooms higher when it grows a few more leaves? Raspberry Rampage is definitely eye-catching! And I am still...

Nice collection! I like the color of Buffalo Hunt. July Renegade sure looks washed out. Maybe it'll be better on a second blooming. I kind of like the flowers on Powwow, but I like plants where the...

Crazy! On my laptop in the group photo, I see three flowers with red. The rest look like light purple/pink to me, but then the individual photos look more red! LOL I definitely like the red for...

Barbara, on a couple of these I don't think it's your computer fooling with the colors. July Renegade is really a washed out red...looks like a favorite red shirt that been through the wash too many...

Bonnie, is your Lady in Red that red in person? I received mine in spike, and the first bud is starting to open. The color on mine is darker. I wouldn't call it red. LOL Have to buy batteries for...

Barbara, did your D. Flamingo come from LLG too? I often complain about how difficult it is to capture the true purple/blue color of some of the blossoms. On that same note I think the camera favors...

Oh thanks sooo much for those pictures Bonnie. I finally have buds on my Lyons Red Rocket. I read somewhere to put reds closer under lights, which I did, and I am getting results. Love all of yours....

I did put my reds closer under lights and gave them orchid food. I now have two Lyons Red Rocket coming into bloom, but another LRR I have in another room in natural light is also starting to come...

I never thought of using orchid food but I think I'm going to give it a try after reading your positive results. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your blooming reds. Lyon's Red Rocket is one of...

Hi Bonnie Lovely lovely thread. You have some beautiful reds. But they are all so young, and have a lot of maturing to do. Powow is on my want list for the future. I know what you mean about the...

My one big red is Red Lantern. (LLG) It started growing really tight. I didn't like that, so I took it out from under the lights and put it on my kitchen table for about 2 weeks. It losened up. I then...

So Bonnie....looking back at this...I have one question now. WHICH red av is now your favorite? Cheryl Cle Elum, Wa.

Really good question Cheryl which sent me to the shelves to check things out. I don't have everyone blooming but of the ones that are blooming here are my thoughts. Let me start first with the one...

Bonnie I have seen pictures of July Renegade that look like what you describe. I just thought it was poor photography. But, evidently this plant does bloom like that. Even the picture on the back of...

Hi Cheryl...here are some photos of what I was referring to in the above post. I don't have a photo of Apache Redcoats, but if I'm remembering correctly I think the flower seems more pink than red to...

Bonnie Heartbreak Kid's fading routine reminds me of Rob's Slap Happy. It would open that bright coral color...and then start to fade out almost right away. At the time, I had a grocery store noid...
