Yes this is another big box store mix up. This was supposed to be Star of Holland, but obviously it is not. It is a rather small solid red type. Its flower are somewhat down facing. In the second photo you can see the backside of the petals and how they have a slight white/green stripe. Hope that helps. Thanks!

I will consider myself lucky if my Star of Holland produces a bloom like this. Beautiful color.
