Sorry if the blooms are a little tattered. I tried to not tear them up applying the pollen. I've crossed two to GTX, 2 to EP and 2 to Pink Beauty.(yes Kyle, I tagged them)
Tiara for Monika
Cala....ya dun goode baby!!LOL
Cala . . sure sounds like some good crosses.
beautiful shape!
Beautiful bloom and some great crosses. Next year should be very exciting.
Cala, it looks like Tiara. No other double has such long flower stems. I would say yes, its Tiara.
Beautiful Cala, good luck with your crosses.
Thanks Monika, I knew it looked different from Knightii, Flore plena and Golden Lady. I was trying to remember what Monika said to cross to get colors, too much to remember!!
Pollinated it with a golden yellow as CG, Whiskers or if possible, a golden aurea. Avoid versicolor genes. Tiara has enough of them.
I'm not sure if I have a golden aurea, but I have Whiskers and CG blooming now. Glad I only used EP on 2 blooms. I thought the calyx looked like versicolor. One of these days I'll figure it out.
I have Solid Gold, does anyone know if it is a Versicolor?
What genes in it?

Good luck Cala....it's another beauty!!!!!
Isn't Solid Gold and insignis type? I have Jean Pasco blooming, but doesn't she give lots of white babies?
I don't remember who it was that said that SG is Aurea Gold x Charles Grimaldi. Aurea x suaveolens x vesicolor cross.Maybe Eric.
Native Habitat, if right, has all the 'common' brugs listed by versi, candida, etc.
Thanks tiG and Calla, NH lists SG as Insignis.
what beauty Cala!!!
She is a nice one. Hope you get some great stuff from those crosses.
Cala, Tiara is candida flore plena x versicolor Kaskade, a peach colored Brug. I would use Solid Gold on it also. I pollinated Tiaras sister Charleston with Luminosa and the rsults were the golden double Anouschka, peach colored Fandango and Floretta as the soft yellow Sommerkönigin and Bolero with it peach touch. Luminosa is a CG x aurea gold cross.
I have Insignis Gold, will that work? I don't have Solid Gold.
Calla it looks awesome!!!!!
Insignis Gold would do it too if it is the one, I once had from Logees.
very nice cala, and i hope every pod takes!!!
