New Seedling

Not sure yet if this one is a keeper or not.....but I can say that I was so excited that I danced around my greenhouse for awhile ;) I' m by no means a pro, but thought she was a beauty.

Trish Ann, is the hybridizer.
Lovely Lady is the mother plant and crossed with pollen from Marbach, Adeline, & an unknown.
Lovely Lady & Marbach is from my German import collection, both brugs introduced by Monika Gottschalk, a premier hybridizer from Germany.
Adeline, is just a beauty that both Trish Ann and I love. Hybridizer, I think is Ludger Schneider & Delisa Harvey. Not only is her color and form a site to look at, but her name is so much like our Mothers, Adel, that we wanted to use her pollen on our first attempts at crossing.

Seedling is a fast, vigorous grower. Double blooms with curled upper skirt. Color is a peachy pink. Shape & size is similar to Lovely Lady.

Just getting over the flu, so not real sure about fragrance.

Special Note:
This was a double crossed with another double and in most cases will not produce a keeper. Trish Ann & I didn't know this fact at the time of pollination.

A Stunning beauty!!!

Thanks Kim!

Here's another picture taken with my cell photo, so it came out a little darker.

You are welcome! I hope your sniffer gets well soon ; } Bet her scent is yummy!

Another picture...
Black spot is from my frogs ;)

Thank you Kim.....it's a kicker getting over the flu. Lol, taste & smell goes.

Very pretty. I like the color. Sorry to hear you have been ill.
I had swine flu in late July and it was really bad-took a long time to get over it and I usually never get sick lol.

Lenette, Thank you for your comment.
Sorry you got that nasty flu. Like you, I rarely get sick, but the past three years I seem to catch every bug that comes around ;)We've had a lot in the hospital with the flu here, but it's getting better now.

Really pretty!

That's one beautiful bloom! I'd be dancing too! ♥

wow I love it !

Awsome looking bloom!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the color!..mmmmmmm

I like it, it reminds me of Georgia Peach. Everyone seems to only want the dark pink which I, which is nice but it is not the only color I want in my garden. If it has Adeline in its genes that can only be a good thing. Adeline is one of the strongest grower I have. Good luck with this one.

kenboy, I agree about Adeline's growth tendencies. Mine are huge.
I also have several seedling right now of adeline x seminole moon (B. Delph's) that are about to bloom. Most of them are growing huge and have these crazy branches going every which way. They are just wild looking plants lol ! A few more weeks and I should be able to post some blooms.

I think it takes 2 years before you can see if it is going to remain the same and if it does I would concider it a keeper.

I just came across this thread and I think that is a very nice looking bloom. I hope it stays true for you.

Congrats on a beautiful seedling. Time will tell and I sure hope it will turn into a keeper for you!
