whew... good thing it is pink... the neighbors threatened to call the cops on me after my last jaunt in the garden doing my dance.. Kell.. your flower looks beautiful and if it started out that dark it can only get darker with time!! Way to go!!!
and it doesn't even closely resemble Frosty... *snickering*
Please all think dark pink!
I knew after I gave up and went to bed, she would post a picture! I like the shape, hope it darkens up for you.
Gorgeous, just knew it couldn't be another Frosty.
That she is! :)
Woke up and came right here...after a quick peek at my garden...so glad for you that she is pink, kell....
Waiting to see her after she darkens....How about photos about every 4 hours...would that be too much?
I forgot it is Sat. and you might have other plans...but what could be more important than photographing your new baby and sharing her picture with your DG friends!
Any meals out planned???? Please let us know, so we won't wait around all day!!!
Kell....you lucky girl! Great Job!!! I hope she gets really dark for you! I can't wait to see more pics!
Very pretty, Kell!!! Love the shape, and I'm a sucker for long tendrils. I hope that it gets darker for you, but even if it doesn't, you have to send a piece to someone in a warmer place to see what it does there! We're cool this morning, but I would have been HAPPY to send you a few extra degrees last Saturday!
KELL...please turn down ronna's offer, above!!!!!
Ronna...thank you for your extra degree offer for kell in CA. I would like to say no thank you...if kell gets them, I will too! We had enough of our own degrees already this spring to last me all summer.
I appreciate your offer, but no thank-you!!!
Wow Kell! I am anxious to see all of the true color come out. We will be looking for another picture this evening.
She is a beauty Kell, great photo. Can't wait to hear how she looks later today!
It is freezing here now. 55 degrees right now. I just went out, no change in this baby. I am hopeful for it is as dark as L'Amour is now, which is not very dark.
I was trying to figure out if it had different genes than its parents. But since it is a sibling baby I bet it has the same genes. Does it?
L'Amour pic this morning
Congrats Kell she's PINK!...Very Pretty!
She is very pretty kell! The summer flower could be different in colour. She needs a chance.
Ah I'm so happy for you! the Lamour is beautiful too
Fish pond water Kell.... I'm telling you, that's the trick to dark pink. Go and buy some fish right now.
I'm so glad it's pink.
Oh Kristi, we filled in our pond 2 years ago! No way my DH is ever going to redig it! Send me some!! I wonder if fish emulsion would help.
And, you wonder, Kell, why we want pink??!! That is such a sweet color of pink and she's flashy too, just my type!!! BTW, if I was a brug queen, I'd want to be the Queen of Pinks...
Sherry....that role I believe is already taken by kell !! How about being in her Pink court...I will be there too! LOL !!!

Don't I know it, and, wow, she does have unforgetable pinks!!
aka "Pepto Garden"
;-P
Thank goodness it is pink....you need to send that baby where it's hot. Really hot here Kell and it could be the darkest pink on the block...express could deliver by monday morning......LOL... congrats....so glad it is pink....
:o)

LOL Scoot, someone has been reading old threads!
I do not wonder why you want pinks Sherry, I got to be Queen of Pinks thru pink lust!
I still have hope for a darker pink to emerge. I am touching it with EP. My hope was for a darker Rosamond.
Kell, when you polinate a seedling, that doesnt have a name yet, do you just mark it "Seedling (BF x Rosamond) x EP" ??
Shelly, that's how I note it when I pollinate a seedling. Sometimes I give my seedlings numbers instead of names. Makes it easier to remember which seedling the seeds came from.
Thanks Susie!
Great pictures Kell!!....
Shelly, I have just been marking my tags, ex. EP 5/14/04. However, I have found come harvest day that more than once I have brought in a pod or 2 laid them down on their plate with the tag over them. Maybe even washed them and laid them out to dry only to come back that day or the next day and have no clue which plant I took it off! Yes, that is how scary it is in my mind these days. So now I am marking my tags with the mother also. I am trying to idiot proof them.
Hey kiddo, why not mark the pod with a PAINT pen?
That's what I do Scooterbug, I mark them as I take them off the plant, just can't leave the pods because as the outside of the pod deteriorates, the ink disappears.

PAINT !!
I use silver because it shows up on 'any' color ... " Paint Pens " are found in the craft aisle.
=))
they are the size of a fat marker
I never thought of that! Silver would show up even if the pod gets all yuckie and mushy! Thanks Scoot.
Kell did you take more pictures, is she darker now???
YES!! It is getting darker!! LOL
Here is the pic from last night and one from tonight!
Kell it looks like you have a winner there!! How does it's color compare to L'Amour's right now?
It has that Outboardmotor twirl to the tendrils!
It is much darker than L'Amour. Now I am getting excited thinking of the summer color!
Here is a picture of my Rosamond tonight!
Its flowers are held horizontal while the new seedling's flowers are pendant.
oops. I shrank that one too much! LOL
