Seminole Moon blooming

La Grange, TX(Zone 8b)

This is the second flush for Seminole Moon. The first flush was frost damaged when the heater ran out of propane and I didn't notice it until the temperature in the greenhouse had reached 30ºF. The blooms are supposed to be orange. Right now the blooms are gold rather than orange. She should look more like this:

Maybe as the weather warms up.

Seminole Moon appears to be mite free even though Brugs nearby have spidermites. She produces hugh leaves. I'm growing her as a standard, but she has new growth all up and down her trunk that I have to rub off. I'm so tempted to leave a few as back-up.

Very nice, when will you get your warm weather? For us it is still a long way off.

What is the cross on this one, it looks a lot like some of the Little Monkey crosses?

This week is supposed to be the official last frost date, but late freezes are common. We've had some night time temperatures in the low 50s for the last few days.

The cross on this is Kleine Aap x Unknown by Ludger Schneider.

I want to see how this upload works.

Then it is a little monkey, I thought it looked a lot like Ludgers Windsong and Ludgers summer Dream.

Oh to have a last frost date in early march, ours is at best mid may. Must be nice.

Oh, this seed pods look nice, What are the crosses?

This is Maya x Unknown. Rubirosa, Dorthea and Wild & Crazy were blooming at the time as well. I know the seedlings will be albino, but maybe there will be one exception. The only crosses I made in late fall were Dorthea x Jacayna and Rubirosa x Wild & Crazy. The moths took care of the rest.

I love my Jaime's Monkey Business. It bloomed in the greenhouse for the first time. Unfortunately, before I could take a photo of it, the temperature in the greenhouse dropped down to 30ºF. All the blooms suffered frost damage and dropped off by morning. It's recovered, but hasn't sent out any buds yet.

Very nice Veronica.
It looks stunning in its Orange wear :-)
