Arlene, Big

Big opens up white and turns into creme with a touch of apricot. If the flower lasts long enough, it will turn into apricot.

Hi Monika, Of course, I'm not Arlene, but just had to jump in and say that I like both of the pictures you have posted and also that my White Pearl X Big has finally made a Y and has a tiny bud forming. I'm excited and I thank you very much for the cross. Now I just have to cross my fingers and wait.

Monika,
What a wonderful color and shape!! May I ask, do you know the parents?

Thanks, Monika, what a good pic. i knew i liked Big from the pics i saw before.

Big looks to have some versicolor and aurea in her. Very beautiful in deed. Love that shape and color. Here's hoping we can use her genes.

It is certainly is beautiful Monika! What pray tell are those lusciously dark watermelon pink blooms in the background? An EP?

Absolutely stunning, as usual. I'm still waiting for mine to Y. Hopefully it won't be too long as we're getting some really nice hot weather. The brugs are loving it.

This is still one of my favorites. Just had to bring this one back up.

Eric, I have buds coming on all of the White Pearl ( Monika's creations, d. white) x Big that I started in December. Hoping to get at least one coloured double.

I too would like to know what the bright pink in the background is.

You don't suppose the flower in the background is a mature Big? Brugcrazy, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I have to admit though that a white with the shape of big would still my heart. Big on the other hand is in color and hence even more special to me personally. Pinks to peaches are my favorites.

I have a Y on white pearl X big. I'll post in a little while.

OK,I'm dying here too,

What is that in the back ground?????????

Monika,don't keep us in suspense....At least we know the one in the background can't be one of her failures,if it is I will personally go raid her compost pile.....

I'm guessing that it might be "Pink Lady". Been drooling over the pictures in Monika's book again. Sigh.....

Beautiful bloom but I'm curious too. What is that gorgeous flower in the background?????

HEY MONIKA................ I will have to send more of us to your garden unless you speak up!!!

Kell, she's sleeping. There is an 8 hour time difference. LOL

Now I see why you stay up so late Kell - so you can have Monika all to yourself! Shame on you -
Good morning Monika!

Good morning Monika :). my clock was right after all... hehehe. btw... is the English version of ur book available now?

MaVie - I'm in the same time zone too - but I guess I'm a farmer - early to bed, early to rise, although it hasn't made me more healthy, wealthy or wise.
Maybe I'll start staying up with the night owls.

LOL!!

Liz........I am still intimidated by Monika........ remember I never made it to her garden...........tiG did !! LOL! I just quietly follow her around late at night and she does not even know I am there............. YES I TOO CAN BE QUIET!!!

So much for staying up with the night owls Liz!! Even Ma Vie split. Monika came and left immediately. Do you think it is my breath??

sorry Kelley, nothing to do with U! have an early dental apptmt at 8 this a.m. ttyl.

Arlene, I hope you're feeling better. Yes, I love the way it sounds, Kell, you've got mail BUT she hasn't answered it yet.

arlene, you are a hoot girl!!! LOL!! would give anything for this plant, isn't it gorgeous???????/

I came and left again in a hurry. My sister came this morning to help me potting 80 young plants (seedlings).

Hey Jeanne
what are you saying here?? "Kell, you've got mail BUT she hasn't answered it yet." ??? Are you implying the elevator does not go up to the top floors? or the lights are on but nobody is home? the cage door is closed but the bird is gone? LOL the truth is out!

Thought you didn't want a visit from me. LOL

What in Oct??? Did you send me an email??? for real???

J - are you getting my mail now??
Kell - she's going to park the brugmobile in your courtyard. Better count the chairs while you have the time.
