it's a medium pink, and as I know the parentage, (Isabella x Butterfly) I'm going to move out all my other medium pinks. That way anything I cross with it, I'll know the line as much as possible (considering no one knows what Isabella is except heavy blooming, fast grower)
If I'm gonna keep it, I'm naming it so there is no confusion with this one. This is the 3rd flush, name is now Cotton Candy.
I love it tiG! That's a nice soft pink. Perfect name too.
Lovely tiG! Perfect name for a beautiful pink bloom!! John
Tig. This is so pretty looks so soft just like cotton. Bobbie
What fun to name your brug! And a great name you picked!
tiG, Cotton Candy or is it Kandy.....great name for a great brug:)
No, I ain't gonna ask for a cutting:) LOL
Owen
tiG, It is a beautiful brug and the name is so Perfect!
and a good idea to keep the one you know the background on.
I just today named one of my brug seedlings....Moonbeam....pic someday when I learn to take one true to color:) It is a very pale yellowish-white, nothing out of the ordinary.
Owen
Beautiful perfect name for that!
Very nice tiG, beautiful soft color, Cotton Candy is perfect.
Very pretty flower tiG.
thanks guys, it's Erics, I just got the fun of seeing it first. but it's a great grower and the blooms have a nice shape all day. There may be another medium pink come along, but for breeding, this is the one.
Very nice soft pink. I like the color a lot. Isn't it amazing how many different looks we have gotten from the Isabella X Butterfly seeds.............enjoy your pretty baby.
So if I grow the isabella x butterfly seeds I could get something diff.? tiG, it is pretty.
every seedling is different Diane. this and Remembrance are the only ones I have that's bloomed from that cross.
tiG those flowers are absolutely lovely! Like the name too. :)
I think its time we made a list of named plants and hybrids here so we don't take each others names. :-) And yes I love the name very original..you didn't even mention pink in the name!!LOL
Eclipse has a good idea there.Can't we store these on that website Tonny started?And how about one rule.You can not pick a name until you have a plant to attach the name to.
BTW Tig...I started this to tell you how beautiful your new baby is.
I thought it resembled Remembrence a lot - no wonder - they are sisters !!
actually I don't think it looked like Remembrance at all, but seeing in person is different than pictures too:)
I love the idea of setting up a list of names, but we have that here in the database. I'm entering this one and any other ID'ed brugs I have pictures of. we all need to do this, and then it's in alphabetical order too. Even if all we have is a name, someone else can come enter the info. So get busy!! we have a lot to enter I think. and it really helps if we put any info we know, like the cross or hybridizer in the notes at the bottom
tiG -- (question from a novice) -- Are you growing these outdoors, planted in the ground? Or are they in containers that you lug in when winter comes?
How I'd love to have brugmansias that would tolerate a 7b winter!
both. if they are established, you might lose a very small percentage of them. I left two out in pots last winter and they are both blooming right now. but I doubt they would have time to get established this late, I stopped planting in the ground early August I think. and I have tons I bring in. I can set you up with all the cuttings you need, but you really ought to come one weekend, and see them! if not, I'll be posting lots of cuttings when we get near frost
TiG I love the name Cotton Candy. The flower is very pretty...good work both TiG and Eric!
You have two pretty pinks . . Rememberance and Cotton Candy. The names are perfect for both of them. Can't wait to see some of their babies next year! I know you will have some very pretty ones.
