Not Vera

12 years ago

I should have known when I bought this from lowes that it wasn't gonna be vera. It kinda looks a little like my lady Jane only it's a darler color. My lady J is more orangy than this one. What do you guys think I should name this one? BTW I have been reading here on the forum all summer and I have learned a lot from all of you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with those of us that are just learning. I can't wait to check in and see what everyone has posted and see the pictures. This is a great place :)

Hi Louana..I agree with Frank (above) most definitly a Lady Jane..some of them are a bit darker and more pink than orange, but a Lady Jane none the less....and a very pretty one at that!!

Thanks Frank and Donna. I will tag her Lady Jane. She is a lot prettier than my other one.

Jessiann,

Depending on lighting, temps and several other circumstances the flowers can show huge differences.

Very pretty, glad you got an updated name for it. Thanks for posting it. It's so fun to see all of the different varieties (whether correctly named or not, LOL, though obviously correctly is best). Enjoy that beautiful flower! :)
