This is Giggles....a most disappointing colored flower, no matter what this photo looks like. It is a washed out sort of orange-red, not the gorgeous color in the photo I am about to post...not sure why it's washed out in real life, but I believe I would toss this in the trash (or let it rot in the ground) rather than hold it over the winter if the flowers remain the color they really are.

Oh, and it opened deformed, but I took a picture anyway :)
