To me, the first one looks like Gay Parasol, and the second one definitely looks like Stairway to Heaven. I have StH, and have often considered getting Gay Parosol.

I agree with Valery that neither looks like Dream Lover. The falls of Dream Lover are described as blue violet, whereas the falls of Gay Parasol are described as pansy rose violet - like what you have pictured. Were you perhaps sent the wrong cultivar? Your picture in the database for Dream Lover is the only picture of it showing the falls as rose violet. Perhaps a camera difference, but I am thinking the color disparity is too much. Having been the recipient in he past of numerous vendor mislabelngs, I can vouch for the fact that mistakes get made. Shrug!
