I can't help it. I know they look better after they color up, but I just got home from work and even in the dark I could see pink! I got my camera and went outside.
Look at Adora X Rosamond (A)
Sorry, I didn't shrink the above photo. This is another one of Susie's crosses - there are 6 Adora X Rosamond and this is the first to bloom.
Last one.... at least till it colors up.
Boy, she is sure pretty! Looks like a true pink!
My kind of brug. Love it.
Looks like a big bloom. I like the color of pink.
Very pretty, Eileen and Susie. I see you have a critter inside the second flower pix. I have a lot of those these days that like to eat holes in my blooms.
Very nice!
Those ruffled edges are nice!
I love it. It is so pretty !!
She's a beauty! I really like how satiny she looks!!
Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I have SIX of this cross and two Eventide cross that I have grown since last fall/winter. It's nice to finally reap the rewards of my TLC. (2 of 8 have bloomed, 6 to go....)
Is this what it's like to be hooked? I can't wait to get home and see what they've been up to while I've been at work!
I love it. You are definitely hooked. LOL!
And that's not even counting the Cypress Gardens ones, the Jean PascoX Gypsy Queen ones and the 2 other seedlings from Poppysue ... Oh dear! Good thing I live in a big old house - drafty old Victorian with 11 foot ceilings - they'll have plenty of room inside this winter, and some room to spare to start more seeds of course!
Its a beautiful color! Congratulations! Isnt it fun?!
It sounds like you are having so much fun growing brugs. Seeds are the most fun because the blooms are always a surprise. I bet your house is lovely.......I like old Victorian.
Eileen, I love this one too!!! Gosh, they are ALL just lovely, every single cross with Adora, I just LoVe!!! Great pictures!

Well, this one never got real colorful. Looks a great deal like Isabella with a bit more curve & tendril. Also, sibling seedling "C" bloomed and they could be twins - both pink, but only at the skirt. Faint fragrance. Pretty, but not breathtaking. I may take them to the basement for overwintering, but only because they are already nice little (6 foot) trees that I could use in my landscaping next summer.
I have been spoiled seeing pictures of Rosamond, Root's new one, and espcially the new Monika!
Eileen, I wish you could take a road trip in a couple of weeks. I've got a bunch of seedlings that are pretty, but I have no room for the mother plants. I'd be happy to help you dig them to take home. LOL! Is it very obvious that I need to get rid of some of these plants? Kyle and Root will be taking some of them, but there are tons of named ones out there too.
Maybe I can...
Brugie why do you live so far away I would be happy to dig up a couple even if I had to put them in my bedroom *LOL*
Did you check the scent on this one?,very nice bloom,good color.And yes you are hooked!!!
Well here it is on day 4... faintly fragrant.
And sibling Adora X Rosamond "C" - much paler pink. No discernible scent. Day 2.
edited to say, can't understand why some of the pictures come out so large...

Maybe you could breed some scent into it by using one that has similar color and good scent. Might be worth a try. Besides, it is fun growing seedlings to see what might happen from the crossings.
I like that color alot on your day 4 pic! Congratulations!
They are beautiful Eileen.
