This is a deep magenta-fuchsia that almost looks red. I'm taking care of a friend's garden so was glad it opened on my watch. I see it has earned an Excellent rating at HMF. I agree. Its name fits it.

Voluptuous - Zary'03, aka Good Samaritan

Your season is coming! I'm looking forward to everyone's photos.

Seil ~ this one is 3 yrs. old now and still not a terribly large bush per CA standards. My friend is in her late 80's and thought it was red when she choose it!

Iris, I've had mine for 6 or 8 years now and it's never bloomed well for me. It's down to a one cane wonder and may not even make it this winter.

That's sad Seil. Maybe Volup. cannot take the prairie winters. Good heads up for other gardeners.

Phatboyrose --- lotsa pics please. What's in your hanging baskets this year?
