Following from discussion of R., 'MayDay' in a Bulb Log reply thread......

So 'May Day', old but still worthwhile. As you mention it it suddenly occurred to me that an unknown red flowered at a friend's near here, perhaps 2008. I had a feeling he got the plant from a mutual friend in Vancouver. When you said 'May Day', she had 'May Day' in Vancouver and was quite fond of it. Is there a chance this is the mystery plant shown below? Note the calyx.
Whoops, missed your follow up shot. Certainly not May Day here so:
Any ideas on the red here?
