A Study in Reds
« on: April 15, 2007, 07:47:41 AM »
Overcast day and a couple of first day blooms that I thought gave a good indication of how "red" 'Charlie's Pride' is.  I thought Gary Coolshades might especially appreciate it as the picture is worth at least a couple of words.<g>

For the record, the red hardy in the picture is 'Perry's Baby Red'.

Hi Craig,

This photo is much more accurate from my memory of Charlie's Pride being a deep raspberry.

Cheers,
Sean

That is a cool comparison. Same color, but very different.

Thanks for the color,

Hi Craig:

Interesting contrast in color.  In my hands Perry's Baby Red is a solid red, but in the picture you have it looks more like James Brydon in color.  Regardless I do like the photo...someday when I have more time I will go back to tropicals, but the annual pot/repot and sending off to a better winter in Miami are over.  Perhaps I will set up a greenhouse similar to Louis

It's been on my list for a while but being one of the Winch lilies I have so far had no luck. If anyone finds a good supplier please pass on the info.
