Here is a seedling from Monika's Aurea cross. It should open in a day or two.
Getting ready to open
which cross is this? my aurea x v. candida will open tonight. I have written monika to ask which were hers and which were nursery seeds. mine have long tendrils, I'm holding my breath here, can't wait til tonight. as with any seedling, I get so excited.
very nice tendrils. someday i'm gonna make it to your place.
Can't wait to see it open. Hope you and tiG will post a pic when they open up.
Yep Arlene, you should come up with Dee, lol.
All seeds originated from Herrenhäuser Gärten. After the experience with the aurea x RK cross, who knows, what this will turn out to be!
But the start is promising, Cala, it can be either a x candida or aurea. Maybe it turns into a bright golden color like Herrenhäuser Gold.

Cala - what do the leaves look like?
I have buds on mine too. We had clear skies last night and the temp went down to 41f. I almost died when I saw the thermometer this morning. That is our January temps. I simply CAN'T lose the buds on these ones.
my tendrils are already showing pink. I collected pollen from the first two blooms, and will pollinate just before they open this evening.
OHHHHHH,such nice tendrils!
Is it open yet?
mine is, it's pink and gorgeous. I just got up and am going to try and start making pictures. it's still dark here.
I haven't made it to the greenhouse. This one said Aurea X versicolor.
I hope you take your camera and come home at lunch!!!
Oh, I can do that, it's raining anyway. I have a couple of seedlings of my own that are budded really good too, showing the corolla, but no color last evening.
can't wait!
It's white!!! I should have known. Had some more open today too, all white!! I'm doomed to only have white. Gonna toss them all out the door and not grow another seed!!!
Calla,you had your ration of pinks for the year...LOL
oh Cala, I'm sorry.
CC, I'm gonna send my pods to you and TiG to touch and then plant them!!
all my seedlings have been frosty look a likes or white so I think Tig has the pink touch!
Yes, it's TiG(wonder if she stole all our pink vibes and that's why we dont have any?)
no, I've been very lucky that I had wonderful friends who sent me great seeds. I can only hope that I get one stunner next year out of my seeds!!!!!
Are you guys sure Kell hasn't been into your brugs and replaced them with R. Traum and hers'(Frosty, etc.)
ya know,just about the time kell showed up Calla lost her pink touch.........she's the pepto fairy!
Kell did it!!! She stole all my pink. Now all I have left is white!! I did have a seedling open the other day, blooms shaped like Whiskers, but not that long of tendrils, and a pale gold color, it's actually pretty. It got beat up pretty bad in the wind storm, but here it is. The bruising from the wind is why the brown spots are on the flower.
maybe tigs the pink queen and you're the gold princess.......
was the aurea cross a pretty white???
I'll take gold, lol. I love gold!! Well, guess we both can't be the pink queen, lol.
where's a picture of the white aurea cross??? it had to be pretty!!
