hope you see this julia j, you had asked about rebecca. i was in one of the gardens watering this morning and noticed my rebecca had bloomed. there were 3, 2 were very faded and i pinched them off and took this shot of the newer one. embarrassed to see bug bite in flower too. but i am posting it as you were wondering about the red and how different and true it is. i find it very red, much redder than any other clem i have seen bloom. my hoshis have not bloomed yet and i have not seen a hoshi in person yet so can not compare rebecca to that.
i did notice the 2 almost spent blooms i plucked off had faded to a burgundy ish. i am growing rebecca in partial sun, and had wondered if i should move it to a sunnier location, but based on this i am leaving it where it is. i am very excited to see something this red.

anyway here it is.
