Pink Beauty in their new catalog. I wonder if this is the real PB... or the PB/Rosamond that we all have? I didn't see it on their website yet. Anyone else get the catalog?
Another new one in the catalog is 'Lorely Camelon'. It says it's a European hybrid. Is this one worth getting??
Logee's has....
wonder where in Europe they got it, cause I've never seen it on any of the big sites :) and they must have a better time of rooting PB than I did, to have enough to sell. Does the picture look like ours?
The picture looks like the color's a little paler. I can't tell otherwise. Maybe I'll scan it.
I received the catalogue yesterday. It looks like the one you guys have... to me anyway...
I put the pictures in a journal entry...

that's a hard question as flowers vary with season, etc anyway. the lorely question is a really good one figuring the 2 year quarantine.
I did a search for Lorely and came up with O hits. I wonder whose hybrid it is....
I couldnt' find it either
Lorely is on abads page, i think VH. the Lorely chamelion is listed there without a pic. apparently they haven't linked with logees yet.
I see 'Loreley' is a hybrid by Mme Neu.... and it's spelled 'Loreley Chameleon' on the ABADS site but there's no info for it.
Ms. Neu and friends, I apologize. one click memory here.
How much are they selling them for Poppy?
Loreley is pictured in my book.
Chamelion was the working name and before releasing it, Mme Neu gave it is real name, Loreley. I dont know, where they get all this confusing information from.
thank you Monika, i knew you would know!
LOL Monika! We don't know where all this confusing information comes from either! So glad you are able to sort it out for us. What color is Loreley? They describe this one as white, changing to mottled white and orange, and then to a rich orange. I thought Loreley was gold?
Kristy it's $11.95 for a 2.5" pot.
It opens up White und changes into a rich golden color.
Loreley is the name of a rock above the river Rhine and legends says, that there sits once in a while a maiden on the top and coombs her golden hair and make ships sink, because the people aboard watched this maiden and not the dangerous rocks under the water surface. Mme Neu used some more names out of legends around the Rhine, because she lived close to it. Rheingold is another one.
There is an old folk song about Loreley,I like it.
THE LORELEY
(Song of the Rhine)
I cannot divine what it meaneth
This haunting nameless pain:
A tale of the bygone ages
Weeps brooding through my brain.
The faint air cools in the gloaming,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,
The thirsty summits are drinking
The sunset’s flooding wine.
The loveliest maiden is sitting
High-thrones in yon blue air,
Her golden jewels are shining
She combs her golden hair;
She combs with a comb that is golden,
And sings a weird refrain;
That steeps in a deadly enchantment
The listener’s ravished brain.
The doomed in the drifting shallop
Is entranced with the sad sweet tone,
He sees not the yawning breakers,
He sees but the maid alone.
The pitiless billows engulf him,
So perish sailor and bark,
And this, with her baleful singing,
Is the Loreley’s gruesome work.
Heinrich Heine
I do not know what haunts me,
What saddened my mind all day;
An age-old tale confounds me,
A spell I cannot allay.
The air is cool and in twilight
The Rhine's dark waters flow;
The peak of the mountain in highlight
Reflects the evening glow.
There sits a lovely maiden
Above so wondrous fair,
With shining jewels laden,
She combs her golden hair.
It falls through her comb in a shower,
And over the valley rings
A song of mysterious power
That lovely maiden sings.
The boatman in his small skiff is
Seized by a turbulent love,
No longer he marks where the cliff is,
He looks to the mountain above.
I think the waves must fling him
Against the reefs nearby,
And that did with her singing
The lovely Loreley.
Big applause for you, kell! I didnt even know, the verses were translated into english! People say that this lovely maiden shows up once in a while. But today, the rocks have been removed and ships can pass this needle ear (LOL) safe.
The trip along the Rhine from Bingen up to Bonn is worth traveling. Kaub, the Mäuseturm ( the legend says that a bishop, maltrating peoples) was attacked by mice and he had a tower build on a sand bank in the Rhine where he tried to escape too. But the mice followed him by swimming through the river and ate him up.
KELL,
I knew I can count to you.
Very much thanks!!!!
This is the first day in my life I have sung the Loreley in english.
The St.Bernhard asked me whether I need a doc.....lol.
Monika: All guests we have had here ( from other countries ) we showed the Rhine and the Loreley. One of the nicest places in Germany.
GL
What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing it :) It seems very fitting for such a beautiful brug.
I have my doubts that the Loreley in Logee's is the same one that Mme.Neu hybridized.
Thanks Monica and Ludger! I just love how you share your culture with us here. Tonny also! You sure make Dave's much more interesting for me and I bet everyone else also. Thanks
I also doubt it Sue, doesn't sound too pretty to me.
Enjoyed the poetry and song "Loreley". Very touching and beautiful!
I also doubt it. It is not the german Loreley...
Kell, I like to share this with all of you.
When I visited Gone with the Wind ( Atlanta )DC and Savannah I got to know much of your culture and history.
It was very impressive to me.
GL
Here is that lovely maiden named Loreley
Oh, Ludger, I didn't realize you had been to Atlanta. Our little town of Jonesboro is about 20 mi so of Atlanta. In the movie it was said they could see the flames of Atlanta from here. On our city signs it says "Home of Gone With the Wind". Margret Mitchell (the author), came to our court house for research and accuracy as she wrote the book. I live about 2 mi from there.
So if you come to our GA Swap,(May 31st), you can go to the REAL GWTW museum here. The O'Hara family (named changed from Fitzgerald), was supposed to have lived just outside of town and Tara Boulevard is one of our main highways here.
Azalea,
I will think about. Being back in "my Georgia" would be great.
I have had my Loreley there,lol.
GL
Very beautiful, we need to get these beauty's here! I may have to have another winter house this summer.
Azalea ,Is there an Ashley and Melenie Rd too?
Could be, I meant to take Paper Dave to the corner of Scarlett and & Rhett, but I forgot!! That would have been an interesting picture, huh! There is an Ashley Oaks Plantation, and the Fitzgerald Plantation.
When we first moved here (26 yrs ago) I joined the Historical Society and was going to be a tour guide on one of the tour busses, but didn't. I went on several of the tours tho and learned quite a bit of background history. This could be a whole other thread - Sorry Poppysue:)
