please don't scream at me:) it's just that I haven't had anything to take pictures of til lately!!
pink/reds are the hardest color for a cheap camera. I've been taking pictures trying the get the true color that I see with my eye. The color goes up as far as the color does on Butterfly. It's as deep a color as Bfly, but the hue ? is more a watermelon red than pink. The corolla is 6 1/2" long closed, didn't measure width when open.

Wow - it is almost red!! Very pretty!
I hope it will be blooming when you come.
I love this one. The color is just great.
Me too - Snap-Snap, Lol!
seems I'm going to have to watch Ms. Azalea!!!! nothing to snap yet, except blooms.
That really is a beauty!
Just teasing- you know I wouldn't touch it without your permission!!
just teasing back!!
tiG - you should try a night picture after the flower opens up wide. They come out pretty good with the flash. I make DH come out with me and hold a flashlight on the bloom while I get the camera focused. Then he moves it away before I snap the picture.
I'll try that with the next one, I don't know if this one will fully open again or not.
I bet it does! It doesn't look like it's tired yet :) Is it still hot down there?
OK, tiG.....I love watermelon:)
Owen
it's hot as blue blazes poppy!! and very humid. but the nights are cooler, and that's helping the brugs a bunch!
glad you like it owen! package going out tomorrow if at all possible.
Really GOOD picture, beautiful brug!!! Can I please get one of those?? Is this a seedling???
it is a seedling Gloria, this is the first bloom. But I won't have cuttings of it, maybe in the spring. it looks really tall, it's next to Butterfly, I was trying to get them next to each other for comparison. it's only 4 ft tall.

Bonnie, what a beauty!!!! I'd be proud too. Brenda
tiG . . it is truly a beautiful color and I can see why you are so proud of it. I am sure that is even prettier in person. Enjoy your pictures.
It looks good enough to eat!! I love watermelon.
Love the color. It's a real beauty.
if you ever decide to get some cuttings, can i make the list? i think i like that one almost as much as the red one i saw on monika's site...is it really that dark pink, almost hot pink! its really awesome.
it's really that dark. meiyu I won't be taking cuttings until at least spring, sorry. it's only 4 ft tall. and it's got buds on every branch! Eric did a good job on this one.
this flower is unbelievably fragrant. when I brought it inside last night for that open picture, I got a headache it was so strong. I'm going to be asking for name help once I see the second flower (soon)
The color looks different now. It is more pink on my monitor. Is this correct? The first picture still looks watermelon color.
I love this new feature. We can show the progress of one brug on one thread and not have to keep jumping back and forth. Way cool feature and a big plus here at Daves. I just checked a members threads, and that isn't working right so I reported it. He sure did do a lot last night though.
it's still watermelon, and does darken in the middle of the day. like I said, it's so hard to get the correct color with this cheap camera. up next to butterfly, the color has more coral/red hues than Butterfly. will try moving her one more time, it's cooler today and she's still open. will be back:)
you know how dark Butterfly is. the sunlight plays a big part in this picture, and there's nothing I can do about that. so both pictures are lighter here than in person, but ek3 is darker, especially around the rim. put ek3 in a chair to get them close. the sun washed out the top of the Bfly (left) but you can still see the inside where it didn't. same angle, same light, no shadows
from underneath
Ain't this fun!! To get all these extra pictures in one thread. Way to go....
I love it. I do hope the threads don't get filled with just junk pictures, but love being able to update on a particular plant, or if someone asks a question in a thread, being able to show what you mean.
Oh - this is great!!
Nice pictures tiG.
Another beauty that's for sure...now for a name and it will be perfect!
You did good Tig, excellent photo's indeed.
I hope the name is okay, did you see the last pictures?
Boy it almsot red so beautiful also another one so pink so lovely, I love both! That 2nd photo the Pink one more like old fashion color of Bubble Gum.
