Who and Who From.

Hi,

I thought I had a Jean Pasco planted here, but Kyle told me the leaves were wrong. So, from the leaf, I decided I had another Dr. Suess. It bloomed today and I don't remember Dr. Suess looking like this. So, can anyone tell me what brug this is and who of you might have given me a start of it. If it turns out to be a Dr. Suess, I know where it came from......ME....The flower only extends about 3-1/2 to 4 inches down from the bottom of the calyx. Quite small at this point. Only about 10-12 inches overall.

Don't know..but I want a piece!! I like the ruffled edges....The colors a little weak..but would still add new genes to my program.Very different kind of bloom. :-)

No Problem......

Beautiful!

Shirley, Don't know what it is but it sure is pretty.

ditto, very pretty and i have no clue!

brugie, it looks like the one i had labeled charles grimaldi. eventually the color did turn to the orangie color. heres a link to the pic i posted.
i think the final vote is that it was dr seuss.

hmmmm....looks like we got sidetracked Jen. My DrS didnt' have blooms like yours.

those 2 do look the same, don't they? i think if it were dr suess or charles, eclipse would have recognized them.

ut oh, let me check with gloria....shes where i got mine from. i have another pic of day 2 shot that ill post.

Brugie,

This would be wonderful in a striped peach or orange...hint hint...

joydie....or a deep pink!!!! MMMM MMM GOOD!

Kyle,
Most definately a deep pink stripe...something one could call "Stars and Stripes", "Carasol" (spell check that one...lol)or something like that.

Hate to jump in here with the news, but I think it is as Jen says, Dr. S. Sure never noticed one have that little ruffle to it when first opened, but the ruffle is pretty much gone today. Sorry Kyle.

brugie, on the pic i posted eric said the calyx looked to be too long to be dr s.
im as confused as all get out. ...look at my thread unknown day 2

MsJen,
I think I'm just onfused MsJen. I still have a Dr.Sues I got from Native Habitat planted at the neighbors, so I'll have to go over and measure the calyx. Just didn't seem to be so long.

**SOBBING** I just knew it was too good to be true!!**STILL SOBBING** ...LOL :-)

WEll, dry up those tears my friend, we will find something you don't have around here. It would have been nice to see the ruffle stick around though. How does that happen? Just a fluke or what? I mean when you get one permanently.

if its any consolation, all the flowers had that ruffled edge.

Wouldn't it be pretty if we could keep the ruffle in it? Sounds like a good job for you Jen....crossing to get a ruffle. :-)
