Lovely! I'm appreciating like it is a picture taken by others! It was the morning sun that day and I had enjoyed that shot! Many thanks for the choice today. I'm sorry to say that the plant no longer grows in my garden. I failed to collect seeds and it did not grow volunteers. I really miss the bright red colour.

Beautiful morning capture, Dinu! I had these some years back and think your pic has inspired me to try some next year. :)

Thanks everyone. The colour of the petal also is a lovely bright red that appears to be fluorescent esp. when there is a particular amount of light on it. It does not glow like that in full sun. I miss that.

Good luck with that, GGK.

As always Dinu a wonderful shot. I had that at one time in my garden, but didn't come back after the cold winter. I haven't seen anymore in the garden centers since. I have the big yellow that comes back with vengeance year after year.
