I was struck by these in flower today - they've been flowering for a while but nice in today's sun. First the "normal form"
Very common but no less nice. and a pink form
and the form sometimes called 'splendens'

Nice display Chris. This is a perfect example how big nurseries are working on hybridisation. They are all nice plants, but I prefer always the real one.
