I must admit I have a few others that look very similar to this - nice colour - another one that I'm itching to cross with.
How can you tell the days when I take pictures?? LOL
Right now most will have the sun in the background so I can feel summer when I look at the pictures during the winter. But I will make a point to do every one with the black backdrop later in the fall.
Liz..I used this one many times in crossing varieties..it sets seed well and make a great pollen parent too!
:-)
Beautiful plant Liz.
Liz, all your plants look so nice. You should be proud. Take some time to sit on that bench you mentioned and just enjoy them. Like around 7 or 8 in the evening when you can take in the fragrance. Then, while sitting there, think about some way you can bottle the fragrance for us all to enjoy during the winter months when we miss the brugs flowers so much. :-)
Brugie - thanks - now I really should post a picture of the nursery bed. It's a disaster area. It has all my Patrice's and LBJ's - it's an earwig breeding area. Tonny posted a picture of one eaten plant - I have 30 in there that only have portions of leaves. Hideous! If I had half a brain - I'll cut my losses and chuck the bunch. But no - I faithfully water the disfigured remains.
And actually - the brugs are duking it out with the scent of the casa blancas and stargazers. I have huge stands of them.
Liz, its beautiful and you are taking great pictures. :-) What are your secret plan of crossing it with? *lol* When I look at the rips or veins on the tube they are of the same kind as in Morgensonne, the color as well. I wonder, if JP is the father, but can only guess. Of cause the mother is unknown, but by judging of the holes in my MS, these must stem from the mother. *lol*
I have no secret plan Tonny. Last year I played with the sangs only. I know how much time and space now that it takes to hybridize even on a small scale. I only have so much space - I need help. If I send you my list of brugs blooming or that have pollen in the freezer - can you narrow it down for me? As I said - I have hybridizing paralysis. I have some good plants but don't want to cross what has been done over and over.
I'm in the same boat as you Liz with lack of space. That's why I didn't do a lot of pollinating. Just crossed what I thought would comliment each other and what I thought hadn't been crossed a million times before.I'll still need help growing the pods I will have.
Just beautiful Miss Lizzy
Liz, that's why I'm only working with Eric's and C. double white. If you have no where to grow them..... I'll have plenty of moth induced seeds to get rid of. You just can't do them all unless you're Cala!
Liz, Awesome. Very very pretty.
Just beautiful Liz. I prefer the natural setting of pictures because it also encompasses the beauty all around, but I think the black background for data base pictures is a good idea because it isolates the bloom.
Beauty-ful.
brugnanny, well I think this plant's background is not up to the Vancouver Babe's usual level of blue!
