I took the pictures at various times during the day. Starting with the one on the upper left and going clockwise. I sure hope it will get darker, but I can't really see any change in today's pictures. If it didn't have the long and inflated calyx, it would look almost like Butterfly. Sure smells good. I'll change my tune if she gets darker. LOL!!
Whew,This one has it all!!
I love this Brug.
Wowzers, Shirley, it is a real beauty, so very pretty, I LOVE pink!!! And, I've got to have a L'Amour!!!!
Ahhh ha! Beautiful! Congratulations Shirley! Did ya pollinate her?
That is really beautiful.. congratulations..
Yes, Shelly. My paint brush needed to be limbered up, so she got some. Now the wait to see if it took.
What a beauty. If it needs a little trimming, I would love a start.
I know you want her darker, but she is still a beauty.
She looks a little darker this morning, but it is also cloudy outside and raining, so will just wait and see what happens when she flushes a bunch of blooms. She sure looks drab next to Kell and Susie's new one. OMG, what a beauty that one is. Can't wait for it to be on the market. I'm so happy for both Kell and Susie. This is a brug that comes along once in a lifetime. Who need Super Spot now....the US has it's own red thanks to these to gals.
It should get darker. Congrates!!! One of my favorites.
Brugie, my L'Amour just began it's first ever flush of blooms, too. Mine are about the same color as yours, but others experienced with this variety have assured me that subsequent flushes were deeper in color.
I am impressed with the horizontal posture of these blooms! None of my other Brugmansias look me in the eye as this one does. Your photo is lovely.
Vickey
Thanks Vickey. I can only wait for more blooms and hope that things will change. It's good to know that others have had the same light blooms in the beginning. I have to remember that summer is just beginning and lots can happen to change everything.
Very pretty. Nice picture too.
Brugie that is gorgeous, I have been skulking around just admiring everybody's great flowers!
I know you are enjoying this and it makes all the waiting worthwhile.
I am of course still waiting, but I am getting hopeful that I will still see one in person before the end of the summer.
Great photo
Alice, come on down. By the middle of July I should have a lot of them blooming.
Brugie, great shots of your L'Amour. I don't know how to do what you did getting 4 shots in one. I don't have LA but after seeing yours wish I did. Donna
Beautiful, Shirley! I love it!
Its is very pretty. The color will be darker in the summer. She always did it for me.
Thanks everyone. Donna, I use Irfanview, a small and free download from the net, and do two pictures at a time as a panorama view. Put the two of them together vertically in the same program and save them. It is easy...just something you have to try a couple of times.
L'Amour is beautiful and I do believe that the color will darken for you. It is one of my favorites, along with many others . . lol
Wow, I have this one but have not seen it bloom yet. Cant wait!!!
Thanks for the invite brugie I really wish I could take you up on it.
Just don't think I can make 2 trips to Iowa in one year!
I sure am looking forward to the next round-up though and being able to get to know everybody a little better.
Beautiful Brug and nice picture too. Congratulations!
Bonnie
Thanks all. Yesterday I took another picture and I think she is getting a little darker.
MUCH better. Lookin' good.
Very pretty, Shirley. I've been out of commision for several days so I've got to get caught up here. LOL
Beautiful Shirley! Your yard is going to be just gorgeous soon.
Gorgeous pictures. L'Amour is still on my "must get" list. The pinks are definitely my favorites - well, next to Kell & Susie's red one! Linda in WA
Oh yes! Quite a bit darker! Just beautiful!
I cant stand it... :o) The trendils just make me smile. All I have seen are EPs trendils, and SO many others look so much longer. Cant wait to see more.
Very beautiful, Shirley. I am so glad it is doing so well for you.
thats so pretty i like to look at everyones pic. hope i will have some one day its neat where gets darker.. lovely..
Thanks Twyla. I'm sure that one day you will have this one too. It has taken me several years to get one to bloom stage, so hang in there.....your day will come too.
Wow Shirley! Somehow I missed this post when I was trying to play catch-up reading all the posts that I've missed! A beauty indeed! I know you were pleased.....enjoy!
Shirley: That second pic is beautifully Pink.
Thanks Deb. It never did get any darker. My Butterfly is darker now than L'Amour got. With our cool weather, I'm not going to judge it yet. I'm sure that when it heats up, I'll see darker blooms. I'm wishing really hard in hopes that it will turn red like Kell's new one. Think I have a chance? LOL!
LOL Best of luck, Shirley. We'd all like to have one to turn red like Kell's new one.
yep she is getting darker Shirley. Wait until your next flush. She sould get really dark by then. Mine was almost red
I'm crossing my fingers Donna. I would love to have her as dark as Monika's was.
I am about to get my second blooms,no flush,just two opening,it has cooled off some here,I will continue to watch the color on LA,it has such great form.
