Here I am begging again. Now I'm looking for Saalegold pollen...anyone have some I can have for postage. I'd love to be able to use it on that new seedling.

Ludger,
Great...I'd love to try the Saalegold pollen on my new little brug.
Gee Glory, I do not even know what what a Saalegold looks like!!! LOL. So what are you going to pollinate?
It will be a lottery. Not much is known about Saalegold.
The parents are supposed to be Esmeraldas x Gelber Riese, it is well flowering but the flowers dont last very long. For that reason I gave my plant to Ludger.

Monika,
If they don't last long in your cool climate they won't have a chance here with this heat. LOL
Ludger,
Do you have a picture of Saalegold you could post on this thread?
Kell,
I though I'd use some of that pollen on one of the new seedlings when it blooms again....just a thought.
I am not Ludger but here is a picture of Saalegold.
The pink color is natural.

Monika,
Again, Thanks...it is pretty but for some reason I thought it was more in the gold family. I did a translation and from German to English it said..Halls Gold. Is the word Halls someones last name or does it mean something else?
Saale is the name of a river and cannot be translated. Since the color is more pink than golden the meaning could be translated as somewhat like treasure of the Saale. Rheingold ( Gold of the river Rhine) is out of the Nibelungen Myths and means exact a treasure.
Gloria, this is Pfalzgold, it is very dark orange his year.

I understand now...thanks.
Oh, Glory, I sure hope you get that pollen and get one of those beautiful plants. I love the pink ones, and that is really pretty.
