Hi Ann, Well, I originally thought it might be Orange Sovereign, but it contained so much red I wasn't sure.....so this year I bought 1 plant labeled OS for a comparison, but it was a a softer Orange and didn't have the red. I ended up with another through mislabel that was the same as the one I bought for comparison, and back a bit there was a thread on OS and others as well as myself posted their OS and they looked like my second one, not my original. I had thought my second 2 were Naranga, but I believe the consensus was OS. I guess with these oranges one can never be sure. Here is my second OS which I think is Naranja. See what you think......... From HIPPEASTRUM 2009-2010 From HIPPEASTRUM 2009-2010 From HIPPEASTRUM 2009-2010 The above 3 pictures were taken today without flash and with the back lighting from the window the flower is almost translucent. My original pictures in the first post are of a much thicker texture as well as much redder. Thanks for any insight you can shed on these oranges. They are definitly not the same plant, that much I am sure of.(I think) Thanks!! Donna

That roses description says that the bloom is huge. This one is only 1 and 1/2 inches across. It must be very common around here because I see them climbing all over the place. I had thought about rooting a few of them but they all seem to have powdery mildew of some kind of fungus.
