This is the clone "Dwarf Pink" a smaller version of the species with spikes a more manageable length.

Very nice. I always thought they were coral, but this kind of bubble gum pink is a delight.

This fades to a very pale pink as it ages. Thanks for commenting, Bud, and have a great day.

It is a gorgeous rose pink. Such innocent looking flowers. Beautiful.

Looks good Ron! How much smaller is this variety?

[ronaldhanko]

My plant is 6-8 inches tall though I have seen plants that were smaller and though they had the same clonal name wondered if they were identical. The spikes are about 10-12 inches

Hehe, he is watching 60 minutes at the moment.
Jane Eyre has always been my favorite book especially when I was younger. I must have read it 10 times. Used it as a username when social websites just started to pop up and the name stuck. I have been thinking of changing it here to something closer to my name. I can't decide if it's time to part with JaneEyre. My real name is Nastia (short for Anastasia) by the way.
