volunteer from thrown down seeds last winter. very much like my spring peach seedling only longer tendrils, very long calyx doesn't show in pics, almost 10 inches. so much fun in the dark when i can't see what i am doing.
had 3 cotylons, or however you spell it, brugman had asked us to track these.
Very pretty Arlene. I love those long tendrils.
medium fragrance, not overpowering.
ms brugie, you always get me in between pics!! i had another first bloom tonight but i can't find the tag. small, barely pink so far. and of course another white one like all the others.

Very pretty, Arlene (o:
How much longer will you have blooms? Does the cold weather hit you before Christmas? It was 60 here today and tomorrow will be nice again. Then, look out.
hard to say ms brugie, could frost in a week or after christmas. i'm gonna do better protecting this winter for earlier blooms next year. i sure wish i had your soil.
A good mix of the two would be better for both of us. Mine packs to easily. I'm going to grow most of my brugs in pots next year. Hoping anyway.
Love those long tendrils. Where are 3 cotylons? What are they?
Hibiscus, i didn't spell it right. i think it's when they come up with 3 leaves instead of two, that's what i based it on anyway.
Look at those tendrils. That is really pretty Arlene.
Nice spurs..Thats what I call them! :-)
Is this the first night it's opened? It's a lovely shape.
yes, poppysue, it was yellow and opening during the day, rained most all day. i'm still hoping for color.
Cotyledons is how it is spelled, but don't ask me how to pronounce it........... :-)
Arlene, I remember when you talked about throwing those seeds out. Not only very pretty but obviously very strong. Your garden is still showing you wonderful things and I bet that makes you happy.
Love those long tendrisl Arlene. It might get darker the next flush. Hope your frost holds off till after Christmas.
Ms Frannie, it does. i have lots and lots of blooms.
nice hangy thingies...
Enjoying your pictures . . . wish I could see it in person.
hope it's as pretty as SP, and with those tendrils.....
Very pretty Arlene. Love those long tendrils.
Very, very pretty Arlene - what a lucky girl you are being able to drop seeds and they grow so beautifully.
this pic was from saturday. this is one of the longest lasting flowers i have ever had, still on the plant, starting to fade, it went honey colored after a day or two.
Look at all of those blooms there in the back. Beautiful Arlene!
Look at those seed pods!!
i am biting my fingers to try to keep from picking my first kyle's pink pod!
Arlene, are your Kyles Pink pods super long?
4-5 of them are, lots are still growing. some are fatter than others, one is curled like a sickle.
I can't believe I missed them all. Wow!!!!!
Wow Arlene! It looks like you're going to have a few seeds.LOL That is a long time for the flower to last. Hope you're going to keep it.
Yes, it turned colors like milk n honey does, and has only had the one bloom. i'm gonna stick it in a pot and over winter it. medium fragrance. my milk n honey blooms don't last long, any one else have that problem? it's a huge pot and gets more sun. Cala, those are buds on Creamsickle.... and i think a couple of pods on V orange.
I love the huge blooms on Creamsickle. Mine has buds again too.
you are a busy girl Miss Arlene!! and very productive!
ms kell, i wish i were productive.... getting better with the naps though. now, are those my special seeds you are getting ready to plant?lol i am going nuts trying not to pick my kyles pink X rosamond. it is getting nasty yellow looking.
so why not pick it now Arlene??? I thought you pick it when it turns yellowish. Mine are still all very green! I moved my big CG into the hoop house last weekend. Am about to go out and see how they are all faring!! My bird is having a mental breakdown so I have been spending every available moment with him.
Arlene, I'm so proud of you!! Letting that pod get completely ripe before you pick it. I would have ripped it off the plant already(or at least cut a slit in the side to look at the seeds)
oh my goodness cala, running outside with the razor blade, i forgot about that..............
kell, hope your bird recovers fast!
take your nu-skin with you!!!
i picked the pod. it only had 28 seeds. all nicely ripened.
