No, I don't think your "stranger" is an Archie Owens. Archie is a much fuller flower, more a double than a semi-double. It's really DEEP PINK (carnation pink like the Crayola crayons) sepals and pink-to-white corollas. And, while the anthers are spread out, they are not much longer than the flower itself. Wonder if there is some way I can ship a blossom to you when it blooms? I'll try to think of a way to do that. Then you would be able to compare for yourself.

Besides the much longer anthers, the flower of your stranger looks too white.

Gorgeous weather here. Bright sunshine, 72 degrees F. Hope the weekend will be the same.
