| yeah.. those are nice plants. Is that a tiki torch in the back? |
|
| Yes that is Tiki Torch |
|
| And what are those lovely rosey ones in front of Tiki Torch? |
|
| Hey Joyce the rosey ones are 'Tomato Soup'. Behind Tomato Soup are some faded out 'Hot Summer', and in front of TS are the beginning of 'Double Pink Delight'. |
|
| Thanks rmac78. I thought tomato soup was almost artificial looking in a strong straight out of the can color. I had no idea it could be a more rosey cream of tomato color. |
|
| I think the intense red color lasts only a few days then kind of fades a bit. Also my smartphone camera probably isn't doing it a lot of justice. |

| Sorry to just jump in here, but I am so glad you posted these pictures. I am just now planting some of these new (for me) echinaceas. I love your combos they are just luscious! |

| Rmac, those are very pretty and colorful. How many years have you had your plants? I am so gunshy about the Echinacea hybrids. I bought 2 from the Big Sky series several years back, and they have proven to be short-lived. |
|
| This is the third year for many of them. They have really taken off this third year. I've noticed they do well with some shade throughout the day(6 hours of sun). I have some in full sun and they are not doing nearly as well as this bunch you see. |
