Wouldnt this be lovely with the bottom skirt pink?
Enchanted Double White.
do the calyx always split? mine did way before the flower opened. I love it though, bugs got to the first bloom, but the second is real pretty.
This one is beautiful. Sure is prettier than the Dbl. Stuffed one.
I agree Terry, much prettier than the stuffed one.
Very very pretty.
Another Ballerina, Lol!! Very pretty.
Wow! I like it!
and here it is....totaly pepto....
Way to go....make your own.... any color brug!
Love it! Beautiful! It would be nice to have double pink!
That is much prettier than my stuffed double candida.
CC, I think another shade of pink would look better, maybe just a dark edge, lol. If we order them, will you genetically engineer them for us?
CC is that one for me???
I love this one. I hope I have it. I think I may. I know I ordered this one from Valley Grow and it died. Is this one different than Species? That one I ordered from Logees and it was really adouble stuffed.
Which by the way I LOVE!!! Yes, I love the double stuffed!! You all are not very loyal!!
Kell, it's different from Species and not at all like double stuffed.(I must admit that I like double stuffed too)
Good Cala, you and me and double stuffed against the world!!!
I think the stuffed double is one of the prettiest flowers there is the first two days. then it's horrid:)
then tiG, you go SNAP!!!! Gee 2 days is short......... mine last longer. I think!! they are so prolific. Maybe they don't. I will have to watch! One of my double stuff puts out all sorts of blooms. I just love it. Always a surprise.
But Kell, you have to remember that tiG's temps get to be around a hundred degrees in the shade and you have very few of those hot days. Lucky, you are too. Those days are hard on the brug blooms.
tiG, the double stuffed does the same for me, but it won't any longer. It is a gonner. I've had Species before, and just recently got another small plant, and it never did that browning thing for me. Blooms lasted very well and I had it in full sun. Now, I just have to keep the mites from killing it over the winter.
Knightii isn't as bad to brown either. Now, for a double, it's gonna be hard to beat Creamsickle, that bloom is at least a week old(maybe more) and still going. It's got one more open now and another starting to open.
but the shape of CDW is soooooooo pretty!!!! I'd take that shape in a single if I could get it. kell, they do last a bit longer now that it's cool.
so are these white doubles the parents of the colored doubles and the pink double???
OK, now we need Monika or Eric. I've pollinated every bloom that I can beat the bees to. We shall see if anything is double with color next year.
Did she say Ecuador Pink would be a good pollen doner to try for a pink double?
lets HOPE!!!!
