My EP NOT I now think is really an Isabella............... It sure is not my usual pink insignis. I just love it now! So those in the know, what do you think??? Any reason why it is not?
Isabella.
Very Pretty, looks sort of like a petunia from the bottom! I'm not the one to tell you what it is tho.
So many Frosty Pink Look alikes..we may never get all these things correctly labeled.!!LOL I just got an Isabella that is too small to bloom..but can compare it to my Original Frosty pink when it blooms..until then..WHO KNOWS!!! :-)

Kell, the above two links show isabella. she is very beautiful and if happy you don't mix her up with frosty. very intense pink color, the leaves are relatively long and thin, no serrations. i just love this one, is a keeper for me.
OK, so it is not an Isabella. I have 2 gorgeous Isabellas though from tiG, that have not bloomed. You know I never cared about names before I was Daved. LOL
kell, click on contests, then last years brug contest and my name. you'll see the Isabella your cuttings came from
Yes, it does look so far as if Isabella's genes are dominant over Butterfly's for the most part. Hence, a definite need for more aurea breed back into this one.

Isabella's children look very much like her. Thats why one needs to cross her back to either an aurea type or a versicolor type.
