ID is so difficult since photos differ so much in terms of flash, indoor, or outside lighting conditions. The other issue is mislabeled bulbs. Did you actually get the red bulb you ordered or a knowing or unknowing substitution. When I am asked to ID a bulb I always ask when the bulb was purchased, since there are fads in bulbs, what is the big seller that year. It may be "hot" for a few years, then never seen again. Getting the new bulbs is difficult. The nursery will list the bulb knowing that they may not be able to get that cultivar from the grower. I have been trying to get Sofia for three years, last two years were mislabels, tried again this year, ordering from two different sources. We shall see.
