RE: Subject: Filipendula rubra 'Venustra' - Reply

I have been trying to find a picture of Filipendula rubra on the
www.flowerbase.com but with no luck. Can you describe this to me? 

I am new to perennial gardens and am looking to add more variety. Right
now I am absolutely loving my Bee Balm! It is so beautiful and has so
many buds. What an absolutely lovely sight. I enjoy these bright colors
against my Colonial Yellow house. Wow!
