I thought I died and went to heaven!

I like Lady in Red, too. French Kiss could be saved for the double red. :)
Thanks for the info on the VF-11 fertilizer. I found it in gallon size at Fred Meyer.

Add my congrats to you and Susie, Kell. Suggestion for name:
SUSIE'S KELLBELL

Pen

Wow! Congratulations on your's and Susie's beautiful creation. It is the most beautiful brug I've ever seen. It looks like it could be a culebra-aurea hybrid? It is nearly the color of some Sanguineas. Amazing!

I think it is just amazing. Any later photos, Kell?

OK.. I am at Mom and Dads for fathers day, and the thing looks bright red! LIKE RED!!! On my monitor at home it looks redish, but not this red! Whats it like compared to a mater Kell??
OMG!! :o)

Tomatoes taste better Shelly. LOL!

Been wondering when you would come to this thread for your brug fix for the day.

I seldom check out this forum because I only grow a few brugs. This is drop dead gorgeous, Kell! Wow! It makes me wonder what the seedling I am growing is capable of. It just Y'd. I can only hope for something as stunning!

i would like to be added to the list if possable i lvoe that one never seen a red one would love to have it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG Kell.....look what I have missed! I've been out of town the whole week!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO and HOOOOOOOO! This is just great!!! You go, Girlie Girl!!!! I am so very happy for you! I've been up dancing around and doing that 'grow, grow, grow' dance for you from Oklahoma! Did you hear me screaming and yelling???? (DH thinks I have gone absolutely mad.....LOLOL...and I don't even care) Yes, yes, yes, & YES!!! You and Susie did such a great job! I'm so happy for both of you!!! Post another pic for my addiction!!!

Oh Kell!! Oh Susie!!!! Oh WOW!!!!! Monika showed me this one,and my heart stopped.Congrats to both breeder and grower.I am sure you were both well pleased to see this one and Susie,you got the magic touch!!!!

Every time that I get on the computer, I come back to look at this beauty! 'Scent so strong that I almost puked' isn't USUALLY a glowing recommendation, but I know what you mean. In an enclosed space, some scents are overpowering (like a lady in a elevator wearing a strong perfume). I LOVE the name 'Lady in Red' it really fits this gorgeous flower. I'm so happy for both of you, you've worked so hard for so long for something like this!
MORE PICTURES PLEASE!!!!

It has buds that are just emerging so I will have new pics soon! I kind of messed up the flowers that are on now though they still are going strong. We still have cool weather here.

We are still debating on the name. I think we have decided not to name it Lady in Red because this one is not truly red. It is the closest we have seen but still not there. We are hoping if we cross it with EP and RK we will get a real red one!! Though we will wait on a final decison I guess, until it flowers for Susie in her heat. It might just be real red there! LOL

The cover of the album wasn't a deep red.... ;)

I keep thinking about a name too. Maybe a number for now, until we see what else may come from the same cross. There may be a series. I think of 'Ruby' or maybe follow the current trend with babies and go with 'Apple' (ha). Susie may want to start a 'French' series. Whatever, it is just unbelievably beautiful.

Let's look at the colors close together.....

Up closer....

When I first saw this brug I actually gasped in shock so I call her "Breathless". :-)

How about "Leaving me Breathless"!

How about "Suddenly Susan"?

What is it, by the way????? Sure is gorgeous!

Little Red~~who's your daddy?
Did I miss the parents on this thread some where . I really would like to know You go girl Kell!!!
Cala will be taking pictures of alliagtors with red brug blooms in their hair!!

I would just be happy with some pollen LOL

Alligator w red brugs!!!

LOL picturelady

Kell, I have to come back to this thread at least once or twice a day. The beauty of this brug is unbelievable. It has great class about it and deserves a wonderful name, but I think I would grow it for a while before chosing a name in case there are changes in it. You might even want to have some friends test it in different parts of the US as it may be different colors in different zones. Putting the name "red" on it might then be confusing to those people who might not be seeing red in their blooms. The only other thing I can say about this brug at this point is that it is absolutely awesome.

I'm with ya, Shirley

It always is the first thread I go to....

What an enchanting brug, it's got us all mesmerized...lol
The idea of the different zones really makes the imagination wander, doesn't it?? lol

I'll gladly volunteer my hot and humid saltly air gulf coast zone 8b to test it lol.

I'm with you Shirley. It is an outstanding color. But Kell needs to send it to Susie and Tracey to see how it does in their climates.

I know I would like to see Tracey get a shot at this one,I have seen her set up,Amazing what that girl does with Brugs!
Plus Tracey is close to my climate,I want to see how it reacts to Midwest heat and Humidity.

Me too ... have to peek in a couple times a day. I agree with Shirley and Liz ... see how it does in other climates before deciding on a name. It is one gorgeous brug!!!

I'd volunteer to grow it on the eastern side. LOL

Imma just a prayin' it does well and it's easy to propagate ... unlike some of the red overseas ones!!!

I agree with Brugie! I'd like to grow some of it and check her out! :)
