G,
This is the one DH is going to pollinate for me while I'm in CA....I have located some Aurea Pink pollen.
Boy! I'm not sure my DH would know the first thing about pollinating, or if he would even try it, you have some DH there, hang onto him.
Do you have any others growing out there? She is sure looking good. The compost must meet her growing criteria.
Hope Ron has good luck with the pollinating. Won't he be proud? Maybe he will really take an interest in the brugs then.
Another plant with such pretty flowers. I bet your whole yard is looking great at this time. I am so happy that you fund some pink aurea pollen. Here's hoping for that very special flower. You just might that "double pink."
Whew Glory. When I first read the thread I thought you threw it out in the compost. LOL Glad to see it's just growing in it.
I wonder what would happen if I planted some in my manure pile from last year??I never even thoght of it till I saw your post...hummmmmmm
Real good looking healthy plant, ought to make somebody a good bride, or husband, whichever. Save me a seed from the new babies.

CC,
I'm sure you must have an extra Frosty pink you can use to experimant with in the manure pile...I noticed when we were at Earls in March he had a big pile..sure he is using it too but maybe not pure.
Roz,
Let keep our fingers crossed on the pollination.
