2004 Seedling
This poor first bloom has been battered by wind and rain all week-end. I will have better pictures soon =)
Just looking at the leaves in the first pic, I was going to say it looked like my BF X L'A from Susie. It was a pretty aurea looking yellow. Is this the first day? If it is, it still could turn pink!

Kell,
............The bloom was about 4 days old at the time and stayed yellow .
It's B xW , very strong aurea and no pink at all.
You have no idea how much I was hoping for a yellow ... yay !
There are a half dozen buds that should open in a day or so.
I'll be home for a few days this time so I can watch more closely.
Would you look at those long tendrils! Pretty one.
Very pretty, Scoot.
Pretty ... looks like a nice soft yellow. Nice tendrils.
I love this one, Scoot! Her tendrils have me drooling...
Super tendrils. I like the way the color travels up the corolla tube too.
Thanks all =)
Brugie, Thanks for another tip on things to watch for. Yes, it was evenly colored.
Can't wait for the other buds to open. I just walked out there to take a look.
Dang , it smells so good out there and it's mostly this seedling.

Very nice scoot, B X W is that Butterfly x Whiskers?
Bert x Whiskers
This yellow one is a real beauty. Congratulations to you and Susie.
Love it, the leaves are great too.
Wow! Looks great Scoot! And it has stayed this nice yellow. Thats something in itself! Congrats to you and Susie.
The first bloom is now 6 days old and after all the winds and rain is just starting to show signs of deterioration around the edges.
This is another Bert x Whiskers bloom just opening on the same tree.
I love it. Everything about this brug looks good.
She's lovely! I especially like the curve in her long tendrils and shape of her blossom. Very healthy serrated leaves too!!
Congratulations to you and Susie!!
BrugNanny, lhughes ,Shelly221, Brugie and Shirley1md , Thank you for the compliments and comments but I'm just growing it , Susie bred it.
I love everything about this one, Color , Great fragrance, tendrils and that big chunky corolla/calyx .
My fav shape.
Also love the foliage .... excellent IMHO
I'll try for a good side shot when it's fully open AND THEN ................ gotta figure out how to use the color chart correctly.

You did a great job of growing it and I think it is truly lovely.
"THEN ................ gotta figure out how to use the color chart correctly."
Where does one look for this color chart?
You have to buy one.
I got mine through ABADS. I do not know if you have to be a member or even if they have any left for sale. We had to buy in quantity and pay ahead so we could make the order big enough.
I think it was around 15 dollars ????

Tell me about color charts, please. I'm a smell/color girl and I'd love to see the charts. TIA!!
I got a chart too, now if I could get a seedling that is not white, I'm ready. LindaSC
very pretty seedlings
love the tendrils!!!
Very pretty blooms! What number would you give it ?
Monika ,
I just checked her in full sunlight . Dang am I seeing sun spots when I blink my eyes , not worried , it will pass.
I come up with 255,218,77
The first bloom is 7 days old now and still holding her shape and color . I love her !
The other thing I love is the fact that she opens this color and holds it 100 % and all the way up. *sighs*
I'm keeping her unless I find a look-alike . Hope not .

I LOVE those tendrils! I was hoping that cross would produce some pretty yellows! Scoot, it's so pretty and the leaves look so much better than Whisker's leaves.
Susie , What can I say ?
I know !!! Thanks for the great seeds !
Ya done good (again)
Hug !
Big-big Hug !

She's a bloomin' fool !
The bloom on the bottom right is the first one that opened ...9 DAYS AGO.
Yeah , I know it is looking tired around the edges but the bell hasn't even begun to collapse.
It still presents a pretty picture viewed from a distance.
Her pet name is Tuffy .
My gosh! Thats a long time for one little bloom! Great!!!
What a huge plant! I bet Susie will be thrilled to get a piece of this one! Good job!
Thanks Kell.
Once again kicking myself for my old habits of pinching off side shoots to promote vertical growth ....... grrrrrrr !
Tuffy is big so I can send susie a big chunk if she wants it.
She really is a pretty one, foliage and all. Nice job gals. Someday, maybe this one will filter down to some of us. I understand keeping it for testing for a while though. Tuffy.....that is a cute pet name.
Thanks Brugie, and you are so right .
.............Tuffy ain't a-goin' anywhere w/o Susies permission.
Scoot, this is a beautiful color! I like the shape of the blooms and its long tendrils.
The color chart is very helpful.
Wow -- I'm very impressed by this one! Congrats to you and Susie, Scoot!!!
I haven't received my color chart yet. Wish I had it now while I have blooms.
Me too, Shirley. Guess we'll have to wait until hurricane season is over at this point...
I like it, scooterbug! I think you should keep it... flowers that last 9 days on a brug are a real bonus. Plus it's such a strong, healthy-looking plant. It might have some good genes for strength and flower life. I really like the shape of those flowers and the darker yellow ribs.
