... The funny story is that I had 2 seedlings from 'Ariel' raised in 1999 this one was labelled "Seedling #2" but I never found the first seedling until last week. Years ago I'd given what I thought was a pot of 'Ariel' to a friend and when we visited her she showed me a potful of what was obviously "Seedling #1"! It's a softer coral colour and so I've told her to re-name her pots 'Riversdale Coral' ;D

I asked Cathy to send me some pics of her pots so here are her pics of 'Riversdale Coral' - slightly softer colour than 'Riversdale Red'
cheers

This interesting story highlights the joys of sharing plants with fellow enthusiasts.
When we downsized a few years ago I tried to take divisions or cuttings of my favourite/difficult to find plants to place in my new garden. Any I overlooked or lost in the process can usually be recovered from friends who had been recipients of plants from me over the years 😊
