I have been doing some research, If this is the really tall one, over 1 metre, ( that was sold to me as Supreme Sultan) I think it is actually called 'Gallant Moment'. Quite vigorous. Coincidentally a parent of Supreme Sultan.
The slightly lighter red, less tall (which I don't think was the one I sent) is from a neighbour, along my road. She can't remember the name.

Thanks everyone :-)
I thought it was black when it opened Siris till the sun shone through it!
It is very tall yes definitely over a metre, off to google Gallant Moment ;-)
