I read and reread the descriptions on Schreiner's site before ordering Happenstance. I wanted a true clear pink. It is blooming but I'm disappointed that the color is so peachy. What should I have ordered to have an undeniably pink color?

I am going to try Exline's Mount Cook A Dawning, which seems to be quite pink. My favorite at the moment is Pinkness, a rebloomer with elegant tailored form and coral beards. It is a really good grower, though it doesn't rebloom all that well. But then I never have particularly good luck with rebloomers, outside of Immortality, Queen Dorothy, and Belvi Queen. Here is a clump of Pinkness and Joyful Skies. I just divided this clump last fall, and the rhizomes are growing so fast I think a lot of them will bloom this spring!
