Thank you for the suggestion. I looked at the page and it IS possible mine is just a late bloomer, but the website says Southern Belle blooms mid to late June and the color looks pretty pink instead of the red or red-purple-orange look that I see on mine so far. It wouldn't surprise me if you're right and it lightened up a tad, though, as it blooms.
Now you guys are making me even more anxious to see what this flower ends up being!
