This little baby has seven tendrils. Its Insignis Gold X Ember Glow by J.T. Sessions. Seeds started January 28, planted in the ground April 15th. I'm sure excited by all these fun, new buds!
Count the tendrils on IG X EG
WOW
You have some different crosses Gretchen, I can't wait to see what you get!
Holy cow! LOL You are doing so good with all your babies Gretchen! Congratulations!
You sure know how to grow those seeds!
WOW, is that cute or what, Gretchen, I cannot wait to see what you get, woo woo!!!!!!!!!
Wow - I thought brugs only had 5 or 6. I guess 7s are rare?
Monika posted here not too long ago regarding this. I think anything over 6 is considered not the "norm", but I could be wrong about that.
It happens once in a while. Seeing one with seven tendrils doesn't mean it will happen again either. Mine that did this back in 2001 never did it again for me. They sure are huge blooms though.
Has it opened? We need an update.
Hopefully she'll be fully open tonight. Its been 102 degrees here all afternoon and all the brugs are suffering, I'm afraid...
Lets all pray for RAIN! Ready....GO!
Gretch, did it open yet??? I have to be outta town a couple of days and i was hoping to see it before I leave in the am...hey, I know how slow they can be, when you are dying for them to open...
Sherry: its so pretty I started another thread for it, but here's a pic for you:
Have a blessed trip :)
Amazing!
That looks so cool,wish there was some way to stabilize that characteristic
I just hope she gives me more blooms! I really love her color!
This one is so pretty, Gretchen. I love it.
gretchen did you send a pic to Vicki at ABADS?? It's beautiful
Thank you Ada and Donna! No, I haven't sent one yet. I've had a house full of my husband's family for the past few days, and its been a scramble to get anything done. Plus, I just found out I'm going to be a Grandma! My husband's 29 yo daughter who's been married for 6 years is finally expecting. I'm so excited that I can't see straight!!!
I'll try to get it done this evening or tomorrow.
Donna,
Where are the grandbaby pictures???? :-(
Gretchen, I've never seen a more unusual brug, grown by someone I actually 'know'. It is beautiful and sooooo different - I love it and hope it grows true for you!! You look entirely too young to be a granny and I sincerely hope that you enjoy it as much as I have. I have 7 and both their moms and all the kids and I garden together and there is nothing more fun!!!
Thanks Sherry! That's so kind!!! I'm truly, truly excited about being a Granny...we were wondering if it was ever going to happen...
