GT X First bloom

Isn't this a good color. The seed came from Monika.

oh man! what a great color. is this a first day pic????

I think this was the second day. It opens this color though.

Gold Traum cross? It's a beauty. It was worth the wait!

Cala, can i send you my list for a trade for that one? love the color. i think tonny posted a pic with colors like that recently, can't remember the name though.

Love it Cala. Beautiful colour.

Beautiful!

Very, very nice - did we ever find out what the X was?

Cala, maybe this one and Tiara is a fair trade for my Esmeraldas though I was holding out for L'amour.

I missed that - you have an Esmeraldas too?? Make up the spare room - I'm hitching a ride with brugcrazy in October.

I think she's playing with you Liz.

Seeds came from HHG, I think. All the package says is Brugmansia Hybride ( Hybride vom "Goldtraum')

ah brugcrazy but you should see the list she just sent me - yes there are a few we NEED.

Liz, why do you think we call her Esmy??? she's playing a trick on you!!!!

very creative way to unload frosties

Send on that list Liz.

I think we all want on the list for this one Cala, hoping mine is similar!!

LIZ.........that list was not my list!!! That is why I asked you if you had ever heard of them. Someone actually wants to trade with me!! YES trade with me!! a frosty freak no doubt! That was a partial of her list!!!

Cala . . this is truly lovely and amazing. Love it!!!

Congratulations, Cala. What a beautiful color!

Beautiful. I love the color.

Love it Calla,feel bad that we'll all be wanting you to chop it all up just so we can have pieces of your gorgeous brug........

that's what those teeny side shoots are for!! LOL!!

Color and shape are wonderful. Nice thick calyx from the looks of it as well.

Yep Brugman, it's got a bit of substance to it and it's loaded with buds. This little brug is only about 3 feet tall(1m)and had lots of little side shoots. I took them off the other day to give the buds more(what am I trying to say? nutrients from the roots?) and will share them.
Now I need Monika to give it a name so we can quit calling it GTX,(sounds like a car or something)

That is beautiful. I am with you, it needs a name, isn't GTX a motor oil? How long did it take to bloom from the time you started it?

I planted the seeds this year. Maybe Jeanne can help me remember the month, lol.

first week of march or so....................

Thanks Arlene

it did a nice fast job of growing, didn't it! less than 6 months to bloom. it sure is a great looking flower.

I'm finding that everything that came from those batches of seed were very fast to grow and bloom. And grow BIG!

Liz, did you get pretty flowers from them?

I wish I'd had more come up, I think I babyed these too much.

I have buds, close but not blooming - in the next few days if the weather doesn't go south. But the plants and the leaves are huge. And I planted mine on March 5th. So there goes the theory about waiting until the second season. I guess if you breed for quick bloom and you know what you're doing this is it.

can't wait to see your pics. the TS eddie is headed back this way, we are supposed to be cloudy/chance of Tstorms through next wednesday. sounds like a break to me.

Cala, this is a beauty, can I get in line too?? You have my list don't you?? Sure hope I can get the hang of brug seeds. Will be practicing again this winter.

Dee, if I can do it, anybody can!! Before last summer, I didn't even know you had to have 2 different kinds to pollinate.

Congratulations Cala, you have yourself a beauty there. Great color.

Very pretty one.
