Betsy, another tough one to ID. Hard to tell from the photo about the color: Is this one more red or more of a coral? This could be Minerva, it has the hint of white on the edge on some of the petals, and a pale red eye, dots way down in the throat. I always think of Minerva as being much showier than yours. However, if you go to the database, there are 60 photographs of Minerva. There is so much variation in the blooms, that either, there are photos of lots of stuff which isn't Minerva, or Minerva is such an old cultivar that there are many strains of it being sold. Minerva is normally a fairly safe bet for this type of bloom, since it is the usual boxed red and white Xmas bulb sold in the USA.
