Provence from Royal Colors. This is a nice coral raspberry pink bloom. I accidentally reordered this one. Several years ago, I submitted photos of this one to the database. But, I can never have too many bulbs, so that's OK. What is really interesting is the color change as it ages. The young blooms have a pale coral-pink base with dark raspberry markings and a dark raspberry eye. Within a few days the base color starts to fade and the raspberry markings start to lighten. The old blooms, which have curled back, have lost most of the base color, and the green center becomes more evident. I posted the third photo to show how dramatic the change is, when you see different aged blooms. If you didn't see them together, it would be easy to think that they weren't the same cultivar.
