This is "Red Champion." She is on a grafted tree from Taiwan. Her beauty is so ethereal that try as I might I cannot seem to capture it in photo's. Here are photo's taken a week ago of first two blooms.

That is gorgeous Kadie!

I have a beautiful red but it is hard to capture the photos and it is stingy bloomer. It has buds right now and here are the previous blooms.

Beautiful bloom, Hetty. I love the darker yellow fading to a chiffon yellow towards the outer most part of each petal.
Makes me hungry, not to eat the flowers, but reminds me of Lemon Chiffon Pie. Think I need breakfast.

I can understand what you mean about capturing the red color in photographs. I have noticed that of the reds I have. The red hues seem to change for the camera. Shrug!

Your flowers are quite beautiful! Lovey dubby

Kadie, Your camera did great, your flowers glow. So if the pic is not up to the color you see, they must be beautiful

Here is my first bloom of the year. I have 18 plants, most are from big box stores, a few grown from seed. I can see lots of blooms coming in the future.

I see a lot of the red blooms pics on here but they seem to be different at the sellers. I am terrible at seed propagation. But would love a red flowered one.
