Thanks everyone! I'm still figuring out how this site works. Posting photos here of the rust like Seedfork asked about. I'm in the Southern California area near Pasadena, CA., so I believe it is Region 7. Maybe the summer heat will help eliminate the rust. I'm finding that some of the flowers don't look like the photos the sellers post. Often close, but sometimes they seem to be misrepresentations. But overall I am loving these beautiful flowers and the nice folks that share that passion.
