My Lucky Orange

I'm posting this photo to let Cala see what came out of one of her ebay seeds.
This is the Eventide x Bert cross. This flower is 7 1/2" in diameter, not counting the tendrils. It's 10 1/2" long. The tendrils are 2 1/2" long. It looks like the new buds that are about to open are a bit smaller so I imagine those measurements might go down a bit.
It opens yellow and turnes orange by the next morning then darker as it ages. The photo is on the second day.

I know you'll are crazy about pink, but I wanted an orange and can't belive I got so lucky to get one.

Very beautiful! I like orange flowers too..and yellow, and white and....LOL :-)

Very nice! Does it smell good?

Looks great. I think we need some new oranges and yellows. Great cross Susie. Nice picture Kerstin. You did well with this seedling.

Finally an orange with long tendrils (6!)
Love it :)
Congrats!

Nice shot. I like it .. nice long tendrils. WTG Kerstin and Susie.

Very pretty dark coloring! Congratulations on growing it so well, and congratulations to you Susie on the cross!

I love it. It would really stand out in the garden!

It's a beautiful flower. Is the plant small like Eventide?

Beautiful orange!

Now that's a rich color! Very pretty!! I have some of Susie's Eventide x Bert seeds going. I'd be happy to get one half as nice.

that's a wonderful orange!! Although I am partial to pink I can easily fall in love with the other colors as well, especially when they are bold like this one

Great color.That one's a keeper.

I'm usually not much on orange (DH's favorite color of flowers, of course), but that is one gorgeous brug!

Beautiful bloom. I love the color.

Very pretty.. I like pink too and now I want orange one too lol

Thanks for the compliments.
The flower has a nice scent, I'm not good at describing a scent, but it's kind of sweet with a hint of vanilla in my nose.
The seedling Y'ed at 4 1/2 feet, it's over my head now so it's not a small plant.
The second and third flower is open now and both of those have the normal five tendrils.
I't a bit smaller now, still 10 1/2 long but the diameter is about 6 1/2. Tendrils are still the same lenght.

Here's a photo of the second flower, on the second day.

Wow, I'm glad Violabird brought this thread to my attention! I LOVE that color!

That is an absolutly beautiful color! I love the orange ones. If it ever gets big enough for a cutting I would love to have one.
The pinks are pretty, but the orange ones just take my breath away! It is a must have!
Thank-x for sharing the pic!

Gorgeous. You lucky girl!

OOOoo too rich orange so pretty, I like it those so wonder is that smell good?

I think this is a great looking brug if you decide to cut it back this fall or any time would love to trade for a cutting

Is this the name of the beauty? "My lucky orange" ?

Congratulations Susie for breeding such a beautiful brug!

Shelly, this is a seedling that has only had three flowers so far, it doesn't have a name.
I just think of it as my lucky orange. I have been trying to find an orange brug, but never found one.

Then I planted these ebay seeds and the very first flower that opened was a pretty orange. That is why it's lucky to me.

Paintedlady, Love your Lucky Orange. I hope to find something like that among my seedlings. Donna

How neat.. lol I guess I should have let the 1st post sink in a little more. It looks like it loves your care and weather. Really pretty flower.

I have one of Susies seedlings that bloomed last year and looks a lot like that one,I still have it to use for breeding because the orange was so strong.I used it in one of my creamsickle crosses

CC, Hope you get some beautiful double oranges from that cross. I have my fingers crossed for you.

That sounds like an interesting cross Karyn. Hope you get something big and beautiful from it.

Most of those seedlings got killed over the winter along with the Creamsickle X ep when my GH plastic pulled away from the bottom of the GH,when it was -0 f ,figures.....
but I noticed some of the ones that I thought died are coming up from the roots

Candy, your orange blossom is oh so pretty, I love it, orange is my 2nd fav, after pink. Computer problems here, more when I can. Ooops, BTW, I have a seed that sprouted today, I am absolutely thrilled, gosh, I'm glad I didn't kill it. I hate to ask what do with my very first seedling, so I'm going to play it by ear. Later, and Happy Saturday to all, ours was so very nice. SherryLike

CC, was your Orange from Bert?
(Can't help it--I want Bert!)
Do you have a pic?

I bet you will make some pretty babies with her :)

Wow Kris that is a deep orange. It is beautiful.
