Gee kell, I just know how much you love pink, (understatement of the year) and it was such a beautiful dark shade!
Mountain Magic
yeah,but Kell can take any pink and turn it into frosty pink.......LOL
Kell,you know I'm just teasin......
I can do even better than that. I can take Frosty Pink and turn it into old faithful gold, and I don't mean 14K. lol
Snow,What a brug.I had not seen this one until Tig mentioned it at the Ga swap.Keep doing whatever it is that you are doing.
But Sylvia, every yard needs more than one color of brugs, so a few yellows and golds should be in everyone's yard. I have fallen in love with my Charles Grimaldi. Never saw one in person until mine bloomed. I love it. Of course, I feel the same about my pinks, peaches, etc. A brug in bloom has beauty in it now matter what. By the way, everyone knows I'm not fond of whites, but I sure have seen a couple of beauties this summer and I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep one of my seedlings and get one from someone else. Hooked again!!
I'm beginning to understanding what you mean, Shirley. I've had the gold one for 3 yrs., but it has never bloomed as heavily as it is blooming right now. I've decided it is really pretty, and I guess all pink would be rather boring anyway. lol
Pretty and I do like the dark pink . . expecially when the pink goes all the way up the corolla like that one does. You were so lucky to get that seed tig since all the seeds are different in a pod. How many of the other seeds were grown out and what color and shape did they turn out to be? Even if there is only a few pretty ones from a pod it certainly makes it all worthwhile.
BrugNanny, I gave 90% of my seeds last year to the BGI bank and some friends. So far I have only heard back from Shirley, tiG and Poppysue on any results of the many crosses that were given out so I have no idea what came from all the rest.
Hopefully they have added beauty to someone's garden.That would make it worthwhile.
I got to see one flower, wish i had gotten to see the tree. it is a beautiful deep color.
Wow that is a real beauty. I love the pic with all the blooms. Simply stunning.
When you come up for the spring swap, and stay with me or tiG, you can see it then in her GH!!
I have another one of these blooming, it's pink, big and beautifully shaped. Holding it til spring/summer for real color, it was light as most fall flowers are. It only had one flower first bloom.
PJ, i'll do that. aren't we moving along... you have a great winter space, tig has a greenhouse, and i have figured out i can travel, lol...
tig that is a sis????
yes, that last picture is the sis. Much taller and the flowers are a bit bigger. wish it had bloomed in summer, but will be an alley tree next year.
great shape, and i bet the summer color will be super great....
I love the "whiskers" on it too.
Forgive the small sidetrack here,but do some types have different numbers of splits in the calyx when they bloom??
Thank You,
shirley

Another nice one Bonnie. You have some great pinks this year.
You did a great job Bonnie. It is very beautiful.
Just saw this thread. I saw Mountain Magic in person, Wow! I can't blame Ludger for going back to it. I think this will be on the most wanted list.
Cindy
Another beauty! Such a whopping big bloom. U.S. is making a comeback with these new brugs, almost catching up with Europe.
I was so sad because there still not have been a cutting for a midnightplundering:-)
I am patient...one day it will bloom in my yard next to Rothkirch and LÁmour.It is a must have brug,no matter the bucks.
Can you believe us? We want your brugs, you want ours'.
Someday we will all share.
