this is the most wonderful deep watermelon color. although the color doesn't go all the way up, it's deeper than Butterfly, leaning into red. Eric, where are you, I hope I'm doing right in putting Butterfly on it, will have Pink Beauty pollen tonight or tomorrow. But nothing darker!! wasn't thinking and didn't save the pollen from this flower, but will the rest and use one other EK seedlings. I moved it next to my bright pink mandevilla to give you an idea of the color.
tiG - that is an awesome color!
A beautiful color tiG and sounds like a great cross.
BTW, you've got mail.
TiG, it's beautiful. Do I need to send you some L'Amour pollen to stick on it?
if you have extra, please!!!!!!!!! it's got more buds coming on.
tiG,
Great picture. I really love the color. Is it that pink in life?
Great looking flowe TiG.
Send me one! LOL
Nice one tiG. Looks a lot like the one I have from Eric. Bet it will bloom and bloom.
I won't have cuttings of this one until spring. will of course take every side shoot cutting there is, but those take time.
is the bloom as large as it looks?
Great flower tiG! I love it. And I might add your garden bed in the background looks great also!
Does it open any more than this?
tOTALLY COOL!

Eric, did you see this?? http://davesgarden.com/s/360688.html
Insignis Gold x Butterfly is opening 2 flowers right this minute, can't wait til morning!!! very lemony yellow right now
TiG, I'll get you some pollen out in tomorrows mail. I didn't see your answer before I left this morning. I have some extra Rosamond if you need it too.
thank you!! it has a lot of buds on it.
Lil petite bloom and very rich color...i can't wait to see her progeny.
she opened up to 8 1/2 inches, gorgeous. I'm going right now to bring her in the house to take a picture, taking it with a flash washes out almost all the color. back in a sec!
you won't call her petite in a minute.
here she is with most of her color. 8 1/2 inches across.
tig that is great! a deep colored rim and then light pink? or is it white in the center?
it's white in the base. it wasn't this big last night, DH couldn't believe it!
So cool. Love the way the pink fills the corolla.
It's beautiful.
Wow, now that is impressive! How long is this one? From where the calyx ends....?
6 1/2 inches, not counting the tendrils, which are very nice. a lot of the color washed out in the open face picture, but not all:)
