If I flower mine indoors or on the shaded floor of my frost free greenhouse they are a very pale pink. If I place them on the bench of the greenhouse, so that they catch our weak winter and spring sun they go a deep brick coloured pink, one sided if I forget to turn them. 4" snow so far today, and more expected this week. Snowdrops, Eranthis, Cyclamen coum and Primroses flowering, somewhere under the white stuff. Brian Whyer, Buckinghamshire, England, zone ~8
