It just opened today and is slightly droopy from the hot sun.
A Susie Hybrid
Another shot.
Pink and beautiful!!! And, it looks like your place is drying out too, Ada!! I hope that doesn't mean a drought...
Very nice Ada & Susie!!! I love pink and this is a pretty one!
Wow, so many of my little babies are pink!
>>>Wow, so many of my little babies are pink!
And, oh, so pretty, I LOVE pink!!!!
Wow!! That corolla looks so fat!! Congratulations Ada and Susie! How's the smell Ada?
I like it! Very,very nice.
Looks like a huge pink one, LOL, my favorite kind! More pics!!
Looking good....... I wish some of mine would bloom. (pouting)
Me too Peggy. Nice pink. How will we ever keep them straight when we all have yards full of them in the future.....hey, I plan to have a yard full. LOL! I'm glad you have something to be joyful over Ada. This hasn't been a great spring/summer for you.
Sherry, yes, we didn't get any rain today. Thank goodness. They were calling for big storms but they stalled in the mountains.
Shirley, this is one of the good ones I have. Most of them look pitiful from wind, too much rain and the boiling sun when it's not raining.
Looking good!! How is the scent?
Root, I can't really tell you. I'm all stopped up and can't smell anything. LOL
Ada
That one is lovely. I wish the weather would straighten up a bit for you!!!!
Alice, we've had two days without rain so that's a plus. LOL
Ada, it is very pretty. Congratulations to you and Susie. I hope, that the weather will become better for you.
Ada, it's beautiful.
I hope you can smell it soon.
Thanks Monika and T_C. Susie has some beauties out there from her crosses.
Another picture of this cross from Suzie. Root, it smells great.
One more.
Darn nice looking brug. Wish it could have just a little more pink in it with more length to the tendrils or maybe just turn orange. I WANT ORANGE.
Nice Ada. I'm sorry, I'm tired and just fooling around here. LOL!
Very pretty Ada
Shirley, I know that feeling. LOL
Thanks, Donna.
Ada, it is very pretty. How is it doing in the heat?
Very pretty! I can't wait to see the next flush!
Looking good Ada!!! Hope you are feeling better and I sure do hope the weather clears up for you!
I hate to say this, but don't be surprised to see a first year brug look totally different the next year. I had a pale yellow with long tendrils last year that I liked because of the tendrils. This year, it is orange. It's in the same pot, so I know it didn't get mixed up. Still has the same tag hanging in it. So...my point is, maybe we toss our babies too quickly.
Sorry about the picture quality. I have to get new batteries today.
WOWIE, Shirley, I LOVE that color, one of the flashiest orange blossoms I've every seen, just beautiful!! I love that bright orange...
Shirley has to change the name into Orange Fizz lol
Shirley, I really like the color on that one. It sure has changed from last year.
Maybe I could change it to Mimosa....is that spelled right? At least the OJ in one makes the Champagne look more orange.
Mimosa is a pretty name.
Both the pink and the orange are very nice!!!!
now,I want to see it in one bloom!
Ooooooooo, like Mango Crush!!!
I think Mimosa is perfect!
But Mimosa is the name of another genus of plants. The name wouldn't be excepted by the ICRA ...
It would be accepted, I think, if you add something else to the name, like Mimosa Dream or something like that. I'll have to look that up.
Okay, ICRA rules
A name is not established if after January 1996 its cultivar epithet (name) contains the latin or common name of the genus to which it is assigned.
A name is not established if after January 1959 its cultivar epithet is the name of a genus or the common or vernacular name of a species or other denomination class IF use of such epithets might lead to confusion. Names such as Dianthus 'Victoria', Lilium 'Erica', Magnolia 'Daphne', and Rhododendron 'Calypso' would all be acceptable since, although the epithets are names of genera or species within their genus, they are unlikely to cause confusion.
So, yes, you could name it Mimosa.
That doesn't make sense to me...
"the epithets are names of genera or species within their genus"...
They aren't in the same genus. I spose the key words are "IF" it doesn't cause confusion.
