Congratulations Kell and Susie. That flower is magnificent! When I logged onto the forum this morning I was stunned and amazed!
Plant her at the church Kell. Who knows what she'll do once she's on hallowed ground...LOL
I thought I died and went to heaven!
Congratulations! She certainly is a beauty.
OMG! I bet you did think you'd died! I'm still wondering if this is April Fools day or is this for real?
OH MY!!! Kell and Susie, you really outdid yourselves here. Outstanding!! Bikini Babe??
Wow !! that is really gorgeous. You both did good.

Kell, that is surely a major milestone in Brugmansia breeding in this country! Congratulations on an amazing success.

I sware! I cant stop looking at it!! Kell and Susie.. wow!!! Congratulations. Im just so happy for you.
Kell! lol it wasnt too late, I was too excited to sleep! :o)
It really is the best color yet. Bravo!
Kell, please don't tell us this is all a trick of the paintbrush. It is just unbelievable. Next you'll be showing us a double pink. All I say is "Wow!"
Paraentage is my question too, since I'm also growing out some of her seeds; Dare I hope?!! Beautiful Kell and Susie!
Please tell too, how is it growing for you in what zone? Greenhouse, sun, shade? Cool weather or Southern heat?
Grasping hands and hedonistic minds need to know!!
Kell being very new to this world of brugs, even I know you have an incredible brug there.
I hope it grows like mad and produces a lot of wonderful flowers and seeds for you.
Add me to that waiting list however many years it takes!!!haha
Like Others, I keep coming back to look at it again.
It has everthing, color, form, (I love the long tendrils) .... does it have a nice scent too?
Didn't you have this one growing at a friends house? I'd think you'd want to bring it home .......... I hope it's a good friend that will understand ;-)
Kell and Susie I hear theres a rumer out there of a plot against you on the church grounds. LOL Fine work and we are proud of you. Ted
Kell and Susie, absolutely wonderful bloom Congratulations to both of you. I would say add my name to the list of wanters but I'm sure you have too many on the list already. Such a beautiful color and the tendrils. Donna
All I can say if BEAUTIFUL !!! Love it!!
Oh my gosh! That's just about the prettiest thing I've ever seen!!! Congratulations to you both!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had to come back today and see if I was just dreaming last night when I saw this exquisite bloom. Congrats Kell and Susie.
Kell...
has it turned frosty yet???
I gotta say I'm in awe....
Its gorgeous
Even Chuck said he liked it
and told me to say send him a cutting...LOL
So it has to be awesome!
I had to come back and look again I saw it from work today and almost spit my Mt. Dew out. I couldn't believe my eyes. So wanted to check it and make sure. It's even prettier than, when I looked earlier. Kell you and Susie did good! Congrats on a beauty.
Kell, do you think they can handle the picture of the other seedling that just bloomed?
I just can't get over how dark this one is, especially for you Kell, since your pinks tend to be so light. Wonder what it would do in South Texas???(think she got the hint???)
Kell....Susie wants a cutting. LOL now you don't have to worry whether or not Kell got the hint.......lol
We are ready for pictures Susie!
You have to wait till I get home, lol. It's on my computer there. I'm at work and only have the laptop.
MORE PICTURES
PLEASE-PRETTY PLEASE
I needed another look too. It's becoming an addiction. My spousal unit thought they were unbelievable! Still waiting to hear who the parents were..
I am oh so new to brugs but have never seen one like this. It is gorgeous and such a deep, delicious color! Did you say whether it had a particularly nice scent? This just makes me want more brugs. Now I see why you are so into this. Please post more pics so we can all enjoy. Jenny
I'm thinking it needs the heat of South Louisiana, too, hint hint.
Perfection!!
Bonnie
I am still in total shock! Kell I would just be happy with a dab of pollen, don't cut on that yet!!!!!!!!! Let it get nice and big a put on a private show just for you, you deserve it! Then I will just have to sell the child to pay for one!
I bet you could hit Ebay and put the Kid through college on that one!!
WOW!!!
lol, Root...
Kell and Susie will be the first people that are contacted BY ebay requesting they put it up for auction..... :)~
SOMEONE CALL THE NURSE....I JUST FLATLINED HERE!!!!!!!!
Kell kell kell..... I know its diseased...run outside put it in a box AND SEND IT TO ME..the DR. Here will treat it right!! ;-)
Awesome..we are getting there on near reds I see.Keep up the good work people.Now wheres the grape purple ones???? LOL
lolol, Kyle...
Who knows what they're working on now..... :)
That brug is totally Awesome. What else can be said. Congrats to both Susie and Kell.
Accolades from Monika AND Kyle? Kell and Susie, you must be so pleased.
Kell, get a guard dog and big lights. LOL
No,she needs Susies crocigator to guard it!
Congratulations to you too, I know all the hard work it took to achieve this goal and I don't know 2 more deserving people.
When I was making crosses last year, I kept thinking "What would Monika put on this?" I can't believe how dark it is, I am just amazed! I think it's really passed the test when it's dark for Kell, she's had such a hard time getting her pinks to be dark.
I picked a pod today, I hope it's gonna throw some dark seedlings too. I should send seeds to Kell to try!
