What is the name for dark red/orange sunflowers with purple leaves?

What large dark orange red sunflowers with purple leaves called?


I've seen them sold at grocery store before, but I can't find anything online about them.

What is the name for dark red/orange sunflowers with purple leaves?
Tithonia is a bright orange sunflower (Mexican Sunflower), but so far as I know it doesn't have a cultivar with purple leaves.





Here's a place with some sunflower cultivars listed. Perhaps one of them is what you're looking for?

Here's the Burpee catalog listing of some of their sunflowers as well (it's about 3 pages)

What kinds of breeds are there for orange cats?

Were thinking of buying another cat and I want to find out what kind of orange breed cats are there. If you know a couple let me know!

What kinds of breeds are there for orange cats?
Many pedigreed breeds, long haired and short haired, plus non-pedigreed pets can be "orange". If you search for red cats (or cream if you prefer dilute colours) online you will find photos of many breeds. www.tica.org is a good site to learn more about pedigreed cats. Off the top of my head:





Devon Rex


Cornish Rex


Japanese Bobtail


Munchkin


Scottish Fold


Selkirk Rex


Sphynx


Turkish Van


Persian


Exotic Shorthair


American Shorthair


Maine Coon


Oriental

Do consider adopting a rescue, whether it be pedigreed or a beautiful household pet cat.





Have fun!

Reply:There are no breeds that are specifically prange, but most breeds have a allowed coloration where they allow for orange.
Reply:You should know that most orange cats are male (genetically) just as most tortoiseshell cats are female. Keep this in mind when adopting your new pal -- you'll want to consider whether your current friend will want the new friend to be a boy or a girl.
Reply:Every time you "buy" any animal, it means no home for one kitten born in some litter today, one stray you didn't adopt.


Go to a shelter and ask for an orange cat, or better still adopt any cat and then grow to appreciate that color... They are all beautiful.
Reply:Orange Tabby cats are adorable, and extremely affectionate.

Why are some egg yolks Bright orange while others are pale yellow?

The best and richest eggs have a nice orange color yolk...why are most of the eggs I buy (95%) usually the pale yellow%26gt;?

Why are some egg yolks Bright orange while others are pale yellow?
the freer the chicken so to speak (from caged to free range) the more orange they tend to be. Also there is a school of thought that the reason the more orange an egg is shows how little stress the chicken was under therefore providing a relaxed egg which is tastier.
Reply:Colour in egg yolks to a degree is influenced by what the hens are fed on. Hens fed a high maize diet will produce a more yellow coloured yolk.





It also varies per breed.





Free range yolks are most often orange as they are not fed so intense a diet as caged or barn raised layers.
Reply:They feed some chickens Marigold flowers to make them lay eggs that are more yellow. Same deal with chickens that have yellow skin.
Reply:That has everything to do with what the chickens are fed on
Reply:probaby diff eggs from diff chickens.
Reply:Free range chickens (meaning ones the can get out and scratch and peck away at what they want to eat) are the ones that have the orange yolks. The pale yolks are from the confined chickens that are kept in a building or very small fenced in area. These housed chickens are feed grains that we humans think that they should have.
Reply:That depends on what the chickens were fed.


My grandparents have a farm in Spain and they have chickens. The eggs are super yellow, like they are supposed to be, because they are fed good food. The pale yellow ones show that the chickens weren't fed good.
Reply:the way they were fed
Reply:Try getting some farm fresh eggs. They cost a little more but are so much better
Reply:it depends on how old de egg is, how the chick was fed n where it lived


Can I put almond powder in orange chiffon cake? Will it taste funny? I want to get rid of the raw eggs taste?

even though I put orange juice and peel, the smell is still there. I don't want to use vanilla essence.

Can I put almond powder in orange chiffon cake? Will it taste funny? I want to get rid of the raw eggs taste?
Why would there be a raw egg taste? It should be gone once the cake is baked.
Reply:I think Almond powder would be too potent. I would try a little Agave Nectar sweetner. It is healthier than sugar or honey and tastes very sweet.


What is the difference between orange peel and orange zest? Are they the same thing?

I have orange peel, but the recipe calls for orange zest.

What is the difference between orange peel and orange zest? Are they the same thing?
Zest is just grated peel.
Reply:You use your grater to scrape the orange peel to make orange zest.
Reply:The only difference I can see is the way they are gotten off of the orange. Orange peel, you can just cut w/ a knife. But you woudlnt' want to add a huge hunk of that to a baked good. Zest is orange peel that is grated off w/ a fine grater or microplane. OR, if you need lots, cut the orange peel off, put in a food processor, add a bit of sugar, and blend. Voila, orange zest.
Reply:same thing


EDIT


I should say though that zest is just the orange part. A peel usually has the white pith ( very bitter )
Reply:Zest is the outer part of the skin grated
Reply:I think they are the same thing.....
Reply:Zest is made from orange peels sans the pith which is the white part....the zest is removed by a zester which is a very fine grater...
Reply:When you peel an orange, what you get are pieces that are orange on one side and white on the other. The orange bit is the zest. It's the bit with the orange-smelling oil in it. The white is not full of flavour and can be tough and bitter so, when a recipe asks for the 'zest', just scrape the outside of the orange with a knife or grater, so you get some of the orange stuff but none of the white.
Reply:The peel is the entire skin around the orange itself. The zest is just the orange very outer layer and is thin. You don't want any pith (the white) in zest. There are zesters you can buy which scrape a very thin layer off a lemon or orange. You can use a microplain to this as well. The zest contains the essential oils and essence of the fruit which is why it's used for flavoring.
