From Logee's last spring.
Different coloration.
I like the patterning to the flower.
Brugmansia 'Loreley Chameleon'
Alice, Loreley is a wonderful hybrid. But the name Chameleon was never valid. Frau Neu used to say that Loreley changes the color from White to Golden.....like a Chameleon! Take good care of it! Loreley has almost vanished out of european collections.

Monika, that is what it is doing. On the way from white to golden it is mottled all over.
Very neat!
And yes, I agree, wonderful.
I am really enjoying this one (o:
So I should just call it 'Loreley'?
It's beautiful Alice.
Loreley is the correct name. Loreley is the name of a maiden out of a well known legend about Germanys largest river, the Rhine.

Thanks Monika.
I will add to the PDB under 'Loreley'.
I will take good care of it ..promise (o:
And will share around when able.
It was small when I got and I was worried.
But have brought it to doing nicely now.
Pictured blooms were crossed to RK last night.
Wish me luck (o:
Very pretty Alice ... I wish I had bought it now.
Pretty, also wish I'd bought it. Would you look at the length on those tendrils.

I thought I did buy it until my order arrived and it wasn't there. Oh well, maybe next year or maybe not at all. I'm doing my best to TRY to cut back a bit. Not working well. She is a beautiful brug Alice. I love the color on her. I hope she will do well for you in the future too.
Oh wow! Is she ever pretty! I love the name! :o)
I wish you luck Alice!!!
Will keep my fingers crossed for you Alice ... and since I have no willpower ... went shopping at Logee's.
LOL Deb, I may just join you! Very nice Alice!
Hi Kell .... did you receive my email the other night?
It's gorgeous, Alice!
Shirley, I had ordered it too and when my order came there was a versi Alba instead. I wasn't sure if they didn't have it or if I just made a dumb mistake on my order form. They must have run out early on. I wonder if it's availible now?
Alice, you have the nicest brugs.
Abutilon, beautiful. Their catalog says it is intensly fragrant. Is it? even if not it is lovely. Donna
It's a beautiful flower Alice.
She is very pretty Alice. Good luck with the crosses.
Very nice Alice, how dark does this one get? Those tendril look a mile long!
my dang wish list gets longer...and longer.....
Since it is soooo slow I'm going through old threads and looking at the really beautiful ones and this is just one of them.......How is it doing and has it bloomed for you more Abutilon?
So pretty and I hope we see lots more....did the cross take or do you know yet....?
Dee
Very pretty, Alice. I have one but it's way too small to bloom yet. Can't wait to see mine bloom. Thanks for sharing.
Should I or shouldn't I go to Logee's web site??? I'm afraid of what I might come out of there with. LOL!! Loreley is so pretty and I was disappointed that I didn't get it last year so............maybe a quick trip won't hurt too bad.
I guess the follow ups on this one got by me. Sorry )o;
I was surprised to see it here again today. lol
And will address now.
Dee, there is a pod. From memory, not sure which cross took.
I will be in the greenhouse today and check.
Lorely has bloomed several flushes since fall. It is blooming one right now (o:
But the winter flowers smaller and lighter than the fall blooms.
It does grow slow. But seems picking up speed as it matures.
And it needs a bigger pot. In my plans to do this week.
Loreley is lovely brugmansia. And, yes, good fragrance, also.
Shirley, I may be able to have you a cutting when I send your other brug.
In the bigger pot, it should grow faster.
I really don't know who to ask this question of so I guess your it.....
When you grow a brug from seeds when do you know if its a "Keeper" or not. What do you base your decision on. Flower, fragrance, heat tolerance.....etc. What all should you take into consideration? How do you decide?
Dee
Alice, that would be great. Thanks so much.
Dee, the cross that took is to Butterfly.
And one open pollenated, too.
Two pods so far.
Ok Shirley. When the weather warms. Not tonight. lol
It is 20s )o:
WillowWasp ..will you post your question as a topic?
End of this one it is lost.
It would be nice to have everyone's input.
Thanks (o:
Good luck with your pods, Alice. I ordered this one too last spring but they must have run out early. Your plant looks like it's quite small to be blooming. I love those long tendrils. The color looks a lot like the Ursuline seedlings that I have. I wonder who the parents are. It's very pretty!
