This one is literally stopping traffic. I have it growing up one trunk of a small, multi-trunk, magnolia virginiana in my front yard. It is about 4ft tall now and blooming well. The bunches of deep red blooms scampering up the side of the tree are now bringing stranger (and neighbors alike) to my door to inquire about the name of this plant. People walking by one the sidewalk are stopping to ask about it, when they catch me outside. A few have come to the door.

The color is quite deep, rich, and dramatic. I don't think that photos really do it justice, not even the professional photos used by sellers. The blooms actually have a subtle 2-tone coloring, with a center stripe that is almost indiscernible in the spring blooms but often well defined (sort of med, rosy, lavender-blue) in the fall blooms, at least that is what I see with mine. I will post pics soon.
