Kell, Have a safe trip back east. Sending you big hugs to comfort you.
I thought I died and went to heaven!
We surely will miss you, hope all goes well.
Awwwe Kell, I just had to get you to come out and play. :) It is a gorgeous flower!!
I too hope your mom is okay. You be safe and keep in touch.
Liz, she better have communication available or our phone bills will be high. Kell, take care of yourself.
Kell hope all goes well with you trip. Hugs to you and your mom
Best wishes are being sent your Mom's way!
Please keep us informed about your mom, we will be praying for her.
Kell,Have a safe trip and don't worry about the Brug,it will be fine,Tom knows better then to let anything happen to it,LOL!
thanks for sharing this beautiful flower with us, kell. these are the moments that make all your hard work worthwhile. i know we all want to grow beautiful ones like this and i expect it will be a long time before i will get a chance so please keep us posted with more photos. :)
p.s. when you take a photo of the flower again, can you include an item that's colored for comparison. (kind of like that photo of the red brug with the cherry tomato.) even better if you can find something rainbow-colored.
Maybe someone can let her use a (Abads) color chart ,tomato red can have many different hue values and is not a reliable source of color reference =(
Kell, have a safe trip. I hope, all is well with your Mom. We are with you in our thoughts.
Kell, I hope all is well with your mom and that you have a safe trip. I know that it will be difficult for you to leave your beautiful brug, it is the most beautiful color I've ever seen and I'm nutz for everything about it!! I love the way you and others work together and you have certainly hit the jackpot, with a knockout brug. I cannot wait to see what you guys have coming up...when/if they are sold, I'd surely like to be on the list!!!
My best to your mom, kell & have a safe trip!
Nothing more that I can say that hasn't been said already!
Except.....Hurry back!!!
i think photographing with the color chart is a great idea. where can one get one of those abads color charts?
mmqc: Are you a member of ABADS?

If my memory serves me correctly, its extremely expensive (the chart), but I think they may have copies you can purchase... Gretchen
Just had to get my daily fix!!!!
i am a member of abads but i didn't see where you could order a chart from them. i guess you can always buy from the source: http://www.rhs.org.uk/publications/pubs_library_colourchart.asp
I wanted to see a new picture too! But Kell has more important things going on right now. I am sure Tom will take good care of her baby (or he will have heck to pay) lol Kell you could send it to me for safe keeping. ( on 2nd thought no way) I don't want to be responsible for such a beauty. Take care of yourself and your mom. That's what matters most.
Thanks all for your good wishes. My Mom has started her trip home. I am praying that it is an easy one.
Unfourtunately this brug is lighter than the first blooms were but Monika assures me it is due to the coolness here now. I can't wait to see if it holds its color when it gets to hot Texas.
Here are a few taken the other night.
and another
I'm so sorry about your mom Kell! You'll be in my thoughts. If I can do anything while you in New Jersey please let me know.
Thanks Kristi. This one is a hard one.
I tried to post this earlier but it would not let me. I shall try again before I go back to bed! It is 5 here.
opps, I hit the wrong one!
Kell, please know that you and your Mother have been and continue to be in my prayers -- God bless you both! Gretchen
Kell, I am so sorry to hear this! Your Mother and you and all your family will be in my prayers! Blessings dear friend!
Kell, I think about you and your family a lot and will miss you, but know you need to go be with them all now. Be safe and be strong my friend.
I liked the name Cherrie Jubilee, but think I am brain-washed into liking Lady in Red. I also like the idea of naming it after Judy Garland (remember the ruby slippers)?
Oh kell, I didn't know how serious it was about your Mom. So sorry to hear this, it sound like she missed your Dad too much and he called for her. My prayers are with you and your family.
Take care.
Thinking of your ordeal with mom, hang in there. Hoping she has no pain.
I just saw the posts about your mom, Kell. I'm so sorry to hear she is ill. We are all praying for her recovery and for you.
Oh Kell I'm so sorry. Try to stay strong. You and family are in my prayers.
Oh Kell, My thoughts are constantly with you. Praying hard for you to stay stong.
Kell, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. You're all in our prayers. If any of us can do anything to help you, just let us know. We love you and want to be there for you. Soft gentle hugs to you and Mom.
Kell, As you journey home to be with your Mom remember back to the good times shared with her and keep those memories close in your heart for they will help when the time comes. Sending you and your family strength and love to get your through these difficult and heart-wrenching times.
Kell...how sad for you all...I will keep you & your family in my prayers. Stay well & take care of yourself.
Hugs, Margie
Kell, safe and peaceful journey's for both you and your mum. I can't say it any better than Trish did above. Linda
Wow, that is a stunning beauty...
You know I was just looking at it and I agree! It is getting darker too. I think my first pollinations took. The calyx is still hanging on each of them! I need to give them a squeeze.
Thanks all for your kind thoughts and words.
Kell: Praying for you, your Mother and your family. Take care and God Bless.
kell take care of your mom someday you will be thankful you did.Too late for some of us.Both of you are in my prayers........have a safe journey and and don't get too stressed out. (((HUGS))) Kyle :-)
