Thanks all!! You guys are so supportive. I am going to visit her today. I had no labels with me when I pollinated, I used masking tape. LOL. So today I need to go put on real tags.

LOL Margie, I love ideas and yours are great. I am not to good on following thru though and making things official. I do this more for fun. But surely a name with Glory in it would be make it even more special.

Everyones ideas are so good. I love the idea of adding pepto to my names. Maybe all my brugs I make should have pepto in it. LOL. Even the orange ones.

Frannie, my favs are the low calyx, exposed necks do not catch my fancy. I use EP to catch the pink color, that does catch my fancy. LOL. The neck sometimes comes along with it.

Donna, you are right, she looks coral at times. I now have a few brugs that look this dark at times. They start out pink and I think I have a pepto winner then they age and get the red tinge in them. At first I thought it was the L'A coming out but some have no L'A in the mix. So maybe CC is right, I have something in my soil. LOL. I can't wait till I see them bloom elsewhere. Though now that I think of it, none but Sexy Lady have gone at my house. The others were split between 2 other locations. Might be our cool nights then?

I promised my DH cocktails in the courtyard tonight. So I best get going and make sense of my garden outside room. It is a mess of plants right now. If you see me back on here today, scold me!!
