Sexy Pink, I believe, but I like them when they have lots of fruit exposed. They're a little less pink at that point but still pretty sexy.

@Aaron That's a gorgeous orthotricha!

So many gorgeous ones! I think my favorite changes depending upon who is blooming currently, but at the moment, it has to be H. chartacea 'Temptesss.' Had to wait a long time for this one to bloom, but it was well worth it.

That looks like Sexy Pink, Josh. Is there a difference?

There is indeed a difference. Temptress is more of a red-orange color. But you know how things are with photography and monitors. The colors are relative and easy to look similar.
