Redder than red (5 pics)

Sorry, I just had to share this with you. Every year when my L. lesliei 'Fred's Redhead' are changing their leaves I'm so amazed how dark they actually are. This is not a red color as suggested by the name. This is dark velvety vine color. The one in the middle is almost black! 
They are quote small for their age and I doubt they will flower this year, but who knows. Would be great to sow more. They are so unusual.

Thanks for your comment
