So pretty.
Michele, I'll go with you. Meet in NYC? Beautiful Monika. Thank goodness I can dream.
Just think when we will have our own double and triple pinks in the US! This is something to strive for!
Beautiful
Very nice, yes Kell I am patiently waiting too.
I hate to say it but I really liked it in that lighter pink shade......
Monika, beautiful, almost a lavender color. Does the color go up the corolla tube?

I'm in love-will these ever make it to Canada?????
Lilypon
I would think not for awhile Lilypon. But at least we have something to look forward to.
Waaaa I can't wait!!!!!!!! Oh the torment! I NEED one NOW!
The corolla tube stays green. Pink doubles lacking color. My dream would be colored like Rosalie or Rubirosa.
Simply gorgeous!
another beauty!
Monika, That is so pretty. I can't say I am patiently waiting until those colors are available here in US. I would dearly love to have one like that one. Donna
Beautiful.It almost makes me want to compost all my brugs.
Monika, you really have some beauties. I hope some of these beauties will make it to the U.S. one day.
Monika,
we are waiting for more pictures.
I'm bored today and thought that some of the newbies might enjoy looking at some of Monikas brugs. Monika, was this one you hybridized?
It WAS a sister to Carmela. Almost all flowers were deformed. Each bud had two calyxes, a double set of skirts and no anthers and/or stigma.

What do you think causes these types of things to happen? Would it be something to do with the cross?
WOW! That's a pretty picture...
So you composted this one. So sad.
That is so sad, wonderful color though. Monika I would like to see some more of your Rubirosa line when you have time to pull up some of those.
Me too, I love your pink ones!
Tonight’s the Night
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty french gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don’t you hesitate, ah
Tonight’s the night
It’s gonna be alright
I am cursed to hear music when I see certain words! Help!!
So Monika, I understand you sent seeds to us in the US so we could have a double pink!!! Thanks so much!! You are such a doll to help us all out!

I noticed, that too much versicolor influence causes problems in doubles.
Carmela and her unnamed sister are out of a very interesting cross. They have RK and EP on both sides of the pedigree.
I pollinated Carmela with Rubirosa and the seedlings out of this cross are doing very well. I have also send seeds out of this cross together with a phyto to US-brug fanciers. A special cross was send to tiG: Charleston x Rubirosa. She mailed me in January, that several of the seedlings will flower in the near future. I have myself large Charleston x Rubirosa seedlings ready to flower and I am anxiously looking forward to see the results. Maybe double Pinks here and in the US??????????
I also pollinated Carmela x Estella but this pod is not ripe yet.
This will be great! I cant wait to see pictures of these.
So are we Monika!!! So a double pink is so close to blooming here! That is too cool.
Thanks Monika for sharing these with the US. Just think soon due to your generosity we all will have double pinks blooming in our yards. I know you do not charge for your seeds that you have sent here, you just want to share with the US brug lovers, but if you did you would make a fortune!!
I probably could, but sharing seeds makes much more fun!
I cannot guarantee a double Pink but the possibility of obtaining a double Pink is given.
WOW,tigs a lucky girl......
I'm bummed now...most of my doubles I crossed with versi....
CC, it works well, if the double, you use as mother plant, is a double in first generation.
I'm not sure I know what you mean...
The mother plants I made the crosses were Enchanted double white,Candidia Double white and Creamsickle
mostly with EP
I'm not sure if any of them were 1st generation
x candida double White should produce good progeny but I dont know about Enchanted double white. Creamsickle x EP is very interesting. Creamsickle is strongly influenced by versicolor but I would have made this cross also. My Creamsickle has a small pod by Rubirosa.
Very beautiful Monika. I can hardly wait until we can get some lovely double pinks in the U.S.
Patricia
You just can't help yourself ... have to keep coming back for a peek or two!
I can't quit looking at this flower, it is so beautiful!
Interesting thread! I think this flower is a goner Susie.
Oh I forgot, this is the one that went to the compost pile isn't it?? What I wouldn't give for a chance to raid Monika's compost pile!
