No but it's probably too small to get an award, to me (4-5cm flowers, no more. I did'nt measure it)

Hello,
What is hot to you?
here it grows from 12 to +30°C with no problem, as long as it remains wet during warm days

A quality coccinea! I have trouble growing these even though I have no problems with the hybrids.

There is just one "death heat" period lasting from mid July to mid September with highs consistently above 30 and lows around 26-28. I think it is the high night temperatures in particular that are the hard part for cooler growing species.

OK 26-28°C min is too high I think... here it always drop to 17°C or less in summer nights
