My first PINK!

Kell!, I was thinking of you when this was getting ready to bloom.

I got it 4 months ago, as an unknown pink. From Preissel's book, I think it's an Insignus pink. The calyx has 5 splits, and the anthers are fused. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It's grown more than twice the size in the 4 months. This is day 2. Saturday evening they were closed and yellowy green. Sunday morning they were like this. They haven't darkened, but did open more last evening, and were closed up again today. It's been cool all day, about 60F/15C.

It's the very first pink brug that I've ever seen in real life! There's lots more buds too. Oh happy day!

Wow!! Those blooms look big! Great picture!!

Really beautiful! Oh this just make me crazier for more brugs! I love this deep shade of pink. Nice photo!

Linda, she's beautiful! :)

MG99, congrats on your first pink bloom.

It looks great. Hope you will post pictures when it has more bloom on it. I love seeing what others are growing.

Big and pink!! Very nice Linda! It sure could be. I am trying to learn the differences also. It sure has a lot of Suaveolens in it.

Look here for some comparisons.

It's been such an education with these wonderful plants. Always learning. Here it is this morning.
edited to say that after looking at the comparison photos at ABADS, I can be sure of one thing, it's not a tomatoe plant! LOL Linda
