Here is the first bloom on one of Monika's crosses. It went through a huge storm yesterday and was able to hang on, so it must be pretty strong. Another of this cross had a white bloom.
Carmela X Rubirosa seedling by Monika
Another beauty. How does one get 'Monika seeds'?
Linda, it takes a phyto and import permit to get seeds or cuttings, but you would have to talk to Monika about it.
Somewhere, one has to draw the line between 'hobby' and 'addiction'. For now I guess I'll have to be happy with my USA seedlings.
Shirley, I just love that dark pink, it's just gorgoeus - sooooo jealous! It has to be very hardy to survive a hail storm and 2 wind storms in a short time. Linda
I think we are all jealous of that one. You sure do have some nice ones, Shirley.
Its beautiful!! Congratulations Shirley, Monika, and to the "bud that could"
Thanks everyone. It has several more buds. I'm anxious to see if they will all look like this one.
WOW!! I like it.
It is very pretty! I hope, that you will have some more beauties out of this cross.
Thanks Monika....me too.
Lovin it!!!!
It is fabulous. I love the shape and color.
Beautiful, Shirley and Monika.
This will be the last picture of this one. She is just a tad bit darker and maybe a little more re-curved. Would you believe I forgot to take a sniff of her?? LOL! Ignore all the hail holes in the leaves.
She's a beauty, Shirely.
Get out there and sniff!!
I hope you are alright after the storms last night,looked like it when right at your area.
Oh my, look at that! Way to go Monika and Shirley.....she is so pretty!
This is really pretty and I love the recurve and long tendrils. It is so special in its own way. I hope all your bad weather is over with for the summer season. You certainly have had more than your share of it.
We got lots of rain last night, but missed the big winds. They hit south of us about 10-20 miles and east of town, I heard that lots of big trees were on the highway. North and east of Kyle it was bad. He wrote that he didn't have any problems there.
Brugie: Another to die for pink brug. Awesome. I was watching the sky last night and thinking about ya. Looked like it was right over you, so glad the storm missed you and us.
That is really beautiful
That is a beautiful shade of pink Monika and Brugie! :)
