So as the subject line says: I ordered Bee's Knees but it actually looks like... well I don't really know. I'll let you all be the judge of that. There are actually some small pink streaks on the innermost petals that don't show up well in these pics - but I thought the pink was supposed to be on the outer petals?

Is it possible this is the correct plant even though to coloring seems way off? They are pretty blooms, just not as shocking as I had imagined. Opinions?
