  Hope the next hybrids to flower will have some bright colour, but I love these flowers, and they have green on them too.

  Howard - our house name is Derwent so all of our hybrids start with that, and then think of an appropriate name, this one was flowering this week (Jubilee) and bright red.
  
  I like to give them names which are descriptive if I can. If we get a poor flower, then we discard that plant. Lots more to flower soon so it will be interesting.
  
  Some of the names of older plants we have grown are: Perfumed peach, Goldie, Candy Stripe, Pale Primrose, Ruby Wedding, Bess, etc. ! (A bit of reverie on my part!)

  You have to have names for them, as a lot of the plants are very similar !!
