#3 has the largest flowers. #4 and #5 looks like the others. Therefore, I will not bore you any longer with pictures.
Third EP x Rothkirch hybrid
Love your vibrant pink brugs Monika
bore us?????????/ I think any one of us would do just about anything for just one pod like this. Can't believe (yes, I can) that you have all these out of one pod!!!!!!!! I'd grow a thousand seedlings to get just one of these.
Thank you tiG, but I will post pictures of this cross again when there will be something different. Still 27 to come!
another screen saver! LOL, when I just came back into the computer room, Monika was on my screen in her garden. She had her hand up like she was pointing out a particularly beautiful brug to me...........
Monika . . your pictures are never boring!! We all look at them in amazement. Absolutely beautiful.
tiG . . I would do just about anything for one seed from the pod. LOL
well, me too!!! LOL!!
You are NOT boring us with these pics, keep them coming, beautiful!!!
"I heard of a saint who loved you.
I studied all night in his school.
He taught that the duty of lovers
is to tarnish the golden rule.
But just when I was sure
that his teachings was pure
he went and drowned himself in the pool.
His body is gone
but back here on the lawn
his spirit continues to drool"
( L. Cohen: "One of us cannot be wrong")
To die for Brug siblings and I am drooling here. *lol* ... and 27 more to come. Wow!!!!
Oh Tonny, LOL, you are a really poet!
Can you imagine - I am in big trouble! Which ones do I keep? Which ones should I throw away? Otherwise, I might end up with 32 look alikes.
Monika they just get better and better all the time. Please keep posting pictures. We love to see them and you certainly aren't boring us. Besides it gives us a good indication of how one would go about making selections on what to keep and what to discard. Congrats on this #3 is FABU-LUSHOUS
say it is NOT so!!
Oh NO!!
You will be in really big trouble Monika if you throw away any of these!!!!
forget brug abuse, this would be major brugies' abuse.
We would never get over it!!!
It is a problem, kell. But I will wait and see, what the others going to look like.
Bored?? Who's bored?? I am new to this forum, but not to gardening and appreciation of things that are beautiful. Those are gorgeous! My heart breaks at the thought of them being composted. :)
Oh Monika, you could NEVER bore us with your pictures. They give us the inspiration to keep trying for one that looks as half as good as yours. I can't imagine throwing one of these beauties in the compost. We would be in heaven just to be able to own one of these beauties.
tonny, is that leonard cohen of passing through fame?????
BORE US??? Not for a minute! I dream over each picture.
Maybe you could sell us your rejects under an assumed name - like Monique - that way your impossibly high standards won't be compromised. We'll never tell - LOL
I really enjoy looking at your pictures. Your crosses are fantastic. Something you create that you consider a failure, would be a work of art for me. I have not seen anything you have created that I would not grow in my garden. All are so pretty. The EP X Rothkirchs are my favorites. It would be hard to decide which to keep and which to compost.
If we could only get our hands on a Rothkirch the possabilities would be endless.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if just one of us had a Rothkirch. Oh . . . maybe one day that will happen!
With the exception of #1, all others are about 3m tall. Through air layering, #1 has become a nice handy alley tree. The others will be rooted under the Y and get another year for flowering.
I thought, placing pictures of such similar flowers would be become boring after a while.
#3 has tonight a even more deep pink way up the corolla tube. I will make pictures tomorrow of #4 + #5.
monika, do you get bored with them??? I surely hope not, cause none of us here is. You always sound like you still have the excitement we have, and that's one thing that I loved about you in the beginning.
tiG, I still have the excitement. It never has left me and I hope to keep it as long as I will live. At the moment, four new doubles are close to open their flowers. I dont know, if they will have color and the wait is a hard test on my patience.
my fingers are crossed for you:)
Thanks tiG. Sometimes I believe, the plants know about my curiousity and slow the bud growth down - on purpose!
Still loving this cross. Do they get any closer to red than this?
No, Eric. It is a deep rose, darker as EP but not red.
Oh I just love your pictures, I could never get bored with them. They are some of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
Congratulations Monika!!!!!!
Next Donnerstag ( Thursday ) I will be in Lanzenhain. I must see this Flowers eye to eye.
I´ve seen this seedlings, strong growing, darkgreen leafes and very healthy looking. I very would like to see the flowers.
May I come,smiiile ?.
Please keep all of this seedlings, I will help overwintering.
I would like to cross your seedlings with some of my HG, Rothkirch and other crossings.
Sorry, but I have to wait because I only have seeds, I must wait for flowers.
GL
Do you think crossing the sibling to either parent or to each other might produce a deeper color though?
I am SOOO jealous! Ludger you made it to Monika's compost before I did!
Okay..how about Ecuador pink x Rothkirch x(Rothkirch x Ecuador pink? Is this not a good idea for darker pink color....
Now, if I were a bee-you'd now my first victim to be....
Monika - is this from a first year seedling? Do you winter the seedlings that don't bloom in the first year? This one is awesome!! I can't even imagine coming up with a hybrid like that. It's the deepest color I've ever seen.
Poppy,
Now can you just imagine a suaveolens that color. Okay, its be a mixed hybrid...cross that one to say...Isabella...then keep your fingers crossed.
*ROFLOL* Eric, so that`s where you get this bee idea. *LOL*
If we all could become bees we could fly to Monikas garden, when all the nice red hybrids is in full bloom and pollinate the most beautiful with pollen from the 27 other siblings and then in mutual strain fly them to Florida over the Pacific. *LOL* Not so bad at all, not that bad, no, no, no, no. Now we only have to figure, which crimes we have to cast us out in to avoid good karma, so we would become angels instead of bees. :-) I think I will tease someone ... just a little. That aught to give a few minus scores ... maybe enough to become a bee and not an ant. Well, ants can lift the Brugs to the ocean shore and bees fly them the rest of the way.
Tonny, One of you bees better fly past Florida and head north to New Hampshire. I've got lots of blooms just waiting for a nice bee. ;)
Keep it up you guys and la fantastique Monique will have her garden designated as a no-fly-zone.
Wheres the 27 others?We are not boared by by your pictures,its what we look forward to!
LOL Liz.
