| Hello Hanazono, the flower you showed us is very nice.
It's not completely red but is deep pink, very big and well formed.
And the asterias is superkabuto too! We also have some red flower asterias but this character seems to be recessive. This summer we crossed two of them and we will sow the seeds next days.

It is a very nice red flower. The body color, dark green ruri(azure) is also very good.
Your plant is still young. I hope it will be true azure in mature.
There are two types red flower asterias. One is a flower color mutation of asterias, dark red.
The other is transferred from pink flower myriostigma to asterias.
I think your ruri is a flower color mutation one.
