I find these plants incredibly beautiful in both their original vibrant red and all of the lovely new colourful varieties.

The winning name was chosen by popular vote (Facebook & Instagram), with a little help from a random name picker, at 6:00 PM (PDT) on Sunday, December 28, 2025.

Hot Tip!
Practice stitching new designs on small fabric “sandwiches” before quilting your quilt.
This will allow you to learn how to move fluidly through the design without having to think about where to go next.
