Yours is the best color on it that I've seen.

A little late jumping in here Connie but I think your picture could be of Satisfaction. I bought my Kiss of Fire from The Lily Nook and it is quite a bit darker than yours and the flowers are more out and down facing than Satisfaction. The first two pictures here are my Kiss of Fire taken in bright mid day sun and the last is Satisfaction, also bright mid day sun. I've mentioned the time of day because it makes a big difference sometimes in how colours are represented in photographs.

You could be right, Brian. Mine came from the Lily Nook too. Maybe they ran out of Kiss of Fire and started surreptitiously doling out Satisfactions instead. I was disappointed with the Anaconda so called "clone" that was on the same order. Thanks for your photos of Kiss of Fire. I'll take a closer look at mine when it blooms this coming year.

I hope that isn't the case as I bought a couple more in the fall. I'll have to wait till next year to see what my Anaconda looks like as the rabbits ate one, one rotted and the other didn't bloom. Hopefully I'll have one bloom. Have some backup scales on the go just incase.
