After 18 months one bloom and a bud on Marrabech.It's sort of a mingled orange peach but this is a greenhouse bloom.I suspect the"outside"color might be more peach.I have noticed that inside several different brugs show more orange.Cypress Gardens is showing some orange edges and Island Girl turned a bright,pure orange as she matured.
Wow - Very Pretty JT!
And a side shot
oh boy that is pretty. hope she takes pollen.
It is very pretty JT.
Beautiful JT! Now if you had Apricot Queen to cross it to~~
I'm liking that one
It's beautiful. Everytime I read that name that old song by Crosby Stills Nash and Young(I think it was them)runs through my head forever - Marrakesh Express.
Very pretty can't wait to see the color this summer.
JT I haven't sent my pollen to Gloria yet, do you know what you want to use? or do you have enough?
Oh my,I think I goofed. I had waited and waited on this one to do something for me and gave up. I can get a start of it again if I want to, but as you can tell, this was another one I gave away. Oh KYLE!!
oh Kyle, take two!!
Tig,thanks but I have plenty of pollen....unless you have some AQ as Snow suggested.
Monika had said,earlier,that Marrabech and Cuba were slow to bloom and she was right as usual.I have had both,growing in pots,for 18 months before seeing any blooms.
sorry, don't have that. good luck!!!
That is an awesome looking flower.
Glad to finally see a picture. I have a couple of small cuttings and I wasn't even sure what color it was supposed to be. It's a beauty JT!
Beautiful picture Gone2Seed. This one is slow to bloom you say...but how much does it bloom once it gets started? Is it a heavy bloomer?....repeat bloomer?
It's too soon to tell how much and how often she blooms.This is it's first time.I will try to keep
everyone up-dated.I fit blooms heavily and often it is definately a keeper.
I love this one, not sure if I like it better than Emberglow though. I keep working on the picture galleries, and Emberglow stops me in my tracks everytime!!
Well thanks Tig.I kinda like it too.
JT, i hope you still have blooms coming, it isn't much pollen, but it's on the way. a flower or two tops, but could make something fabulous!
I have one bud about three days away.
good, pollen is coming priority, so it should be there!!!
Good luck with the cross. I'm drawn back to this picture each time I visit Daves.
The pollen arrived today and the timing was perfect.Marrabeck surprised me with two more blooms and pollen was placed on each.If these take I will give seed to tig for supplying the pollen,keep a few and donate the rest to the BGI seed bank.
I hope it takes for you and for tiG and BGI. What a guy!!
oh, I only want a couple!!! Those would be great in the bank!!
