I thought I posted these yesterday, but I can not find them, so I will redo them today. Please, if I have duplicated them, forgive me. SENIOR MOMENTS sometimes happen at 83. Big Grin

The stores who just sell plants to make money and do not think about the needs of the person buying them, i.e. names, how to care for, etc. also seem to get the colors mixed up. There are two that are always being misnamed. The Orange Zygo and the Salmon. They are many times just marked ORANGE. I know because I bought them and found that to be the case. I was fortunate enough this year to have two blooming at the same time to show people the difference. Most of us certainly know the differnce but you would be surprised at the number of customers that do not. If it looks orange, it is orange or so they think. At least around here that is the case.

This is the Salmon Zygo. Soft and beautiful coloring..

This is the Orange Zygo, when in bud the color is really a beautiful bright orange
