    I started 'Lady Stanley' from cuttings traded a couple of years ago. I have two 18" plants now that are the pretty double pink like these shown here under 'Double Pink'. If someone has these, they could be that variety. It's worth a little study if you want a named variety, which I'm a stickler for.
