Good job, the color is gorgeous, hopefully your next bloom will be the red your looking for but for the most part you did a great job.

These bloom with richer colors when bloomed during cool temperatures. This is true for sophronitis hybrids, phrag bessae hybrids and many others. Summer blooms generally are pretty diluted and/or muddy with many red flowers.
