Love Grateful Red!! Go right ahead and show us the other reds that you have, even if they haven't bloomed yet!

Don't think my avatar qualifies -- it doesn't look like a red -- thought I'd save it for shades of purple................?

Hmmm, my red LA is more of a bi-tone, as is the other red that has bloomed. Since it is "Show Us Your Color" I think I will only show my colors and not database ones. I can wait until we get to bitones, etc. Big Grin

Neat category. I am on the road and can only make comments! I have "Red Zinger" it is good plant. It looks a lot like "Sultan's Palace", but I got them from different sources, so if think they are both correct.

Keep them coming!!

I'm going to include Rogue in the Reds, even though descriptions range from *brick red* to *copper brown* -- Shrug!

It looks red, and it's beautiful!

Here is a Noid that I consider red

Thumb of 2015-02-07/grannysgarden/ae8bb5

It was dug up and deposited by my gate in a Wal-Mart bag. It continued to grow and bloom during and after being dug up and replanted. It must be a tough one.
