The 'purple' one is a really dark example of Pink Perfection, but a very poor photograph of it. Remember now, Pink Perfection is a strain so the color intensity will vary from dark, dark pink to very light pink. So if you bought 5 of these from the same source, they would each be a little different color. Strains are often planted in groups of 3 or 5 because the color variation makes for a nice blended setting. It would be nice if all the growers would market Pink Perfection showing them as a representative group rather than just a single example.

Others shown are, top left: a very fine example of Regale (strain). Again there will be variation of lighter to darker chocolate rose reverses. Lower left is a somewhat poor example of Golden Splendor (strain). Middle bottom is African Queen, (strain and clone available) another environmentally sensitive cultivar that can show different color intensity, both face and reverse. Lower right is Regale Album (strain). Photo is pretty much representative of this beautiful white lily and there is very little color variation even though it's a strain.
