Although listed as 'red', the color stripes on these flowers seems to vary more towards a dark pink, but may get to red. There are 2 Japanese names that I've been told for these, the difference in the names has to do with the leaves rather than the flowers. Some are said to have more yellow-green leaves while others are more blue-green - both are variegated.

The Yellow-green leaved ones are called:
AO(ki) Fuiri Uzuba akabeni fukkake-shibori kikyouzaki

The Blue-green ones are called:
Ao Fuiri Uzuba beni fukkake-shibori kikyouzaki
