They look like mine too. The only thing is mine are both supposed to be Miracle, but I have the color on one and not the other. Are the leaves identical in shape? I have often wondered if one of mine is Tiramisu and the other Miracle. I should take some photos this weekend.

Gorgeous photos by the way.

Hi Evan, Before Miracle bolted here last year, it had a very slight silvery color on the leaf vein. I haven't had any shine to T's leaves, so I'm guessing your id is correct.

That is beautiful. This will be the 2nd year for mine and it is not as pretty as your pic. Mine is still has very little color. With all the that I seem to lose I am just happy when they return though.

I never looked at them so closely before you guys infected me. I wonder what people driving by think, dressed for work squatting and looking at the ground.

I'll take more pics as they get larger, so I can tell leaf shape. I wonder how much difference sun or shade makes. T was green all summer in 5-6 hours of sun. Moved to part shade where it developed some red at veins in fall. Will look for silvery sheen when leaves get a little size as well.

Is it normal for the new growth to be that Pinkish/Orange? Sure is pretty. Lovey dubby

Very true - there are some that have some gorgeous color in the fall as well.

I am finding out that these 'Georgia Peach' have great color in spring, even better than fall. From a distance these look blood red and I am very impressed, thinking about a few more. Green Grin!

These are current pics and it's blooming now? Really great color. Mowed over mine last fall but it seems to be doing OK. Fingers crossed.

Evan, I just took this picture 15 minutes ago. I mentioned before about the blood red color and there it is. This container gets morning sun for a little over 5 hours. Green Grin!

My neighbors are way past paying attention to my antics. :)

Finally we had rain on and off here today but I'll get a pic of Berry Marmalade tomorrow which is a blasting fuchsia color this year. Wondering if the plant was mistagged or if heux are like wine that get better with age.

You're all so far along. Jealous but fun scoping out the great pics. My heuchs in shade are much further behind than those in sun.

Susan by looking at leaf shape and how red it is, I was wondering if that is Peach Flambe.

Really!!! Blinking I got it from Yahoo coop. It's been looking like a georgia peach the whole time, but more recently the red color keeps drawing my eye. What about the flowers, do they look familiar? They are small, look hard. Hilarious!

( don't forget zone8 and 5-6 hours of sun, maybe you are not use to seeing a Heucheras in full sun, it is considered a shade plant, I keep increasing the amount of sun by moving the pot around and the color gets better and better, I do keep it watered.
At first I had it in dappled shade and it did nothing. Sad

Susan, the picture from Springcolor above is a Georgia Peach. The leaf shape and color of yours is definitely not the same.

Edited to add that I've received plants from co-ops, and even reputable on-line stores, that have been mis-labeled before. Unfortunately it's not that uncommon.
