Hi Jo Ann. you were asking if that copper trumpet was Copper King. No. Here's how it came about. Back in late Nov of 2010 I ordered a Spirit of '76 mix from B&D--a dozen or so. It was not a current offering but Bob sent me about 12 mixed. I got them about the 1st of Dec with a note from Bob that said: Lorn, mulch good--it's getting late. Well, come next June, I was nicely surprized; there were nine copper tones, one pink and 2 standard, everyday type Regales. The bulbs each had a little different look about they so I could separate them into groups by 'looks' when I planted them. As far as Copper King, I've got two from Judith Freeman. They're young upstarts and one is just about open. I'll Tree Mail a picture tomarrow or post if its good enough.
So, here now then, is a picture of the copper you asked about as it's fully opened today.
And another one or two from the group:
