Insignis Pink in the garden

This is from Glory. TiG, it's the "big stick" I had in Bill's truck last Christmas, lol. I had to share as I took my morning walk this morning.

surely you didn't overwinter this in the ground?

So pretty.

A beautiful flower, Cala. It has well formed flowers. Wonder if the corolla edge will be even darker in summer.
The inflated calyx gives it a special note.

Cala,
The "Big stick" has truned into a beauty.

Isn't it though Glory? TiG, I wintered it in the green house, put it in the ground in April and then worried about the frost.

Look all that worrying paid off

Cala, you sure have a lot of brugs blooming. I think you're winning. LOL.

Cala, when you cut this one back in the fall, I'd sure like a start of it. Mine from up north didn't make it. Can't remember for sure who I got it from, but the cuttings didn't look right when I got them. They were very nobby and misshapen. Just wouldn't start for me. Anyway, I'll write you more toward fall if that is okay and beg again. Thanks......S :-)

PS. She wasn't a DG member.

OK, just let me know when you are ready for it. I can check tomorrow, I may have one already started.

Thanks Cala, you are the best.
