Becca Lynns hybridizer and parents please......

I need info on hybrid Becca Lynn...I need parents and hybridizer .Thanks anyone that can help. :-)

Becca Lynn is Glory's http://brugmansias.com/showpicture/7147/

poppysue..thank you!! ((HUG))

eclipse, i think glory said it was whisker's X CG, but then decided the dad was DrS....

Arlene.....Dr suess (father)X CG (seed parent?)....?

Kyle, I think Arlene meant Whiskers X Dr. Suess

OOPS!.... LOL LOL

Here's an old thread of Glory's. http://davesgarden.com/t/117187/ I think Becca Lynn, Jessie Noel, Old Glory, and Biloxi Belle are all out of the same pod. BL and JN are named after her grand daughters.

whiskers X probable dr s... i think her charles ended up with serrated leaves and she decided it was the doc.

Arlene..thanks! :-)

On the tag Glory sent with my Becca Lynn she wrote Aurea Gold X Charles G.

Looks like we better wait for Glory to come to this thread. Whatever it is, I like it.

mamajen, aurea gold X charles grimaldi = whiskers.
whiskers X Charles Grimaldi = becca lynn. except i am pretty sure she decided her charles grimaldi was really dr suess. poppy's tells the heritage.
you are right tho, brugie, glory is the one that knows this best.

So Arlene, are you saying that Whiskers is really a product of aurea gold X Dr. Suess or was Whiskers from some of the LBJ seed? Sure wish someone would post a list of the better known brugs and their parentage. Hey Arlene, when does the doc go on vacation again? :-)

I think a parentage list would be really interesting. It could be added to the abbreviation list that tiG was putting together back on Oct. 15.

Maybe a good cold weather project for someone. Right now, I'm sure most people in the south are enjoying their brugs while the weather is nice. I certainly don't know anything and could benefit from a list. I'm sure if I had the time to go back through threads, I could find some information. Just don't have the time.

well look who is back................. not only Eclipse but Miss Arlene! I was just sending out inquiries about you Arlene...........

brugie, whiskers was from an lbj seed the cross was:
aurea gold X charles grimaldi
then glory crossed whiskers with CG and made becca lynn and the other babies. exept i am pretty sure when we went through the CG DrS thing last winter she decided hers was DrS not CG. glory is good at telling the heritage, she marked a pack of seed for me with whiskers (aurea gold X CG) X something.

Becca Lynn is a Whiskers x Charles G cross to my knowledge.

Whiskers was a seed I received from LBJ and it was an Aurea Gold X Charles G cross. I then crossed Whiskers with a plant I had marked Charles G and got Becca Lynn. The Charles G plant that I crossed with Whiskers died so I'm assuming it was what it was marked as...I just can't remember what the leaves of the Charles looked like...sorry.

Since Whiskers and Dr. Suess both have deeply serrated leaves and Becca Lynn doesn't, I'd bet the pollen did come from CG. She sure is a pretty one.

The Becca Lynn I have has serrated leaves! :-)

both of mine do too

So does mine.

LOL
A little mystery adds to the allure!

Oh gosh, I better go look.

Well, I'm back. Took a lot of hunting to find it in the jungle, but mine also has serrated leaves. Does this mean that I have another unnamed? :-)

OK Guys....I'm confused too. LOL
I'll have to go out and see what I have done here...this getting old stinks. LOL

we're all sitting here waiting:) hoping I haven't marked something wrong again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ok,
In the picture below the top row of leaves are from Jessie Noel...the bottom row is from Becca Lynn.
As you can see there is both serrated and not so serrated on leaves on the same plant...this is another one that is going to be just as confusing as Dr. S and Charles G.

mine really look like the bottom ones. did you look at mini's threads and all of our pictures there?

not yet....I'll go check.

Gloria, what about the calyx?? mini's has one split, mine more. both in the long thread she started.

tiG,
I just came back from looking at the calyx and I have some flowers with one split and some with two splits on the same plant. Mine looks like it has a fatter corolla but that might just be the way the picture was taken.

Brugie, since Dr Suess is Charles Grimaldi's parent, i am not sure how the leaves carry genetically.
my question for experienced hybridizers is this:
If you crossed Dr Suess and came up with Charles Grimaldi, would you keep it and distribute it? they are apparently hard to tell apart, so i am curious about this. maybe cause i am working so hard to whittle mine down anyway, i just don't have room for 5 that look exactly the same except a tendril is 1/2 inch longer or there's one less split in the calyx, in other words you have to really really look hard with glasses on to tell one apart from the other. Brugman would be proud, i am getting really good at pitching brugs!

Gloria do you have pictures of them both you could post?

Okay, I can say for sure that what I had was not Becca Lynn. The leaves were deeply serrated and all of them were. No smooth ones at all. Actually, everything on it looked like Dr. Suess. It even did the recurve when opening. So, I'm going to pull back all requests for cuttings and just see what the one I have from Susie turns out like. It is about two foot tall, but not a lot of leaves yet and they can change with maturity. I'm kinda getting like Arlene, if there isn't noticeable difference in the plants and blooms, time to kick someone out of a much needed pot.

well, mine have serration, but it's not deep at all. and both of mine have the same leaves. Just 3 or so light serrations on them. I got this from Glory, so I'm going to stick with it until she says no, and even then, this one is staying, it's gorgeous. (that's why I'm sure it's named correctly)

well, now rethinking. Gloria i'd really like to know if you think this is her. I have this on my list of cuttings for postage and don't want to send out anything wrong. I have two, they are identical. leaves, flowers, and calyx. lmk

tiG,
Yes, I do think yours is Becca.

whew! thanks lovely lady

Boy, the memory is going. I remember now. I was supposed to get Becca Lynn this spring but didn't get it. It was Jessie Noel that I had to begin with. I knew that I got my plant from Glory and now I know why I don't have BL. Geez Glory, I am the one getting old, not you. You sent me the JN. I need a keeper.............does anyone understand what I just said? :-)
