pink beauty
oh I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice!!!!
"eyes"
Both of them are gorgeous.It's great to see them side by side and be able to compare their beauty.
it's the first flower and first day open on PB, i expect the color to become more intense.
I agree....very pretty. Love the deep color of Butterfly, but Pink Beauty has great qualities too. Boy, it is hard waiting on buds and blooms........ :-)
Both of them are beauties! Love the pink ones.
Arlene, great looking plants. Those two and Ecuador Pink are my pink favorites.

Barb,
My E.Pink is blooming today and it really looks like the heat had done a job on it....wished they would do better in our heat.
Arlene..great plants...I have always liked the pinks the best...Guess its cause I have so many white and yellow types. :-)
the pink beauty did get darker in color. i went at dusk to do a smell check, pink beauty seems to have a softer scent than butterfly.
i watched a hummer moth go straight from butterfly to pink beauty, do you reckon i can put a BF X PB label on the PB? lol
Arlene, just wanted you to know that my Butterfly from you has buds already. I'm sure glad it is in a gallon size pot right now instead of the ground. Those blooms would hang in the mud like some of the others have. Thanks so much for sending me this beauty. Looks like it will bloom at about the same time that CC's Pink Beauty does. CC, your brug is doing great. I can't wait for bloom from it and all the others.
Looks like I need to add butterfly to the wish list, its a beauty.
Arlene . . they are both sooo pretty!! The Pink Beauty sure has a rich color of pink. And Brugie, I am jealous . . my Butterfly does not have buds yet :(
Frannie,
I don't think many brugs the size of my Butterfly do have buds. I'm sure glad Arlene took the cutting from the flowering region. I'll get to see it bloom this year. I'll bet yours blooms before frost too. Hope it is surviving the heat down there. So good to know you are back online again too.
BrugNanny, someoneelse has buds too. the cuttings all came from little shoots growing up the side, you'll have buds soon. Brugie, i am glad you have buds. this fragrance will knock you out, to strong for me!
Very pretty!
Very pretty.. I like the both! :)
Arlene . . I can hardly wait until it blooms and to smell it. Strong fragrances do not bother me.
Arlene, very nice....love the color
color update, today pink beauty is almost the same intense color as butterfly. i might like pink beauty better.
well the bushes are side by side. the PB goes the same color as butterfly, and that nice open flower right there is pregnant!!!!!!
Brugman, how long do aurea pods take to mature?
To be honest Arlene, I have never timed them. I just pull my pods when the peduncle turns yellow or when they look ripe. Generally the seedpod softens enough within 48 hours of the peduncle turning yellow that the pod just slides off. Otherwise, a sharp twist generally snaps the pod right off. I sure hope you get us a Rothkirch from these two. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Brugman, i have one BF X Rosabella or vice versa also, it's an awfully pretty plant.
Bf x Rosabelle, well that would most certainly be easier than Rosabelle x Butterfly, but both are possible.
Brugman, it's one of your seeds.....
Ahh, you sly devil. I did get seepods both ways. Thats how I know you can do it. Rosabelle is a booger though to get seedpods on. Sorry, I had forgotten.
Just had to add...she should be ready to bloom by now or darn close to it as that was last years cross. Ahh, heres hoping for you. I must confess I am tickled pink that you got on of them to take off for you. Did you ask it if its the Rothkirch look alike?
i'm just sorry it's my only one. i drowned several, sent some to someone i can't remember who. the third one sat in a jar of watersorb for about 4 months, i took it out and planted it and it sprouted right away. i just don't remember know which way the cross was, seems BF was the mom. this little seed wanted to live though, can't wait to see her bloom. how are yours doing?
I sure hope my Frosty turns into a Butterfly!
ha! I put a jinx on your pinks!!! so don't count on it!! LOL!!
Maybe your Esmerelda will be pink, lol.
Arlene they are so wonderful I can hardly wait. You have a "card" coming in the snail mail.
