This is Rosamond (mother) X Ver Orange (father) has 10 flowers ready to open for the first time and 10 more buds to follow up with in a few days. XXX fingers crossed it won't be white this time..a nice orange would be nice! :-) Notice the shape of the buds.
Those look like they are going to have a very nice shape! I hope you get a nice orange too! Can't wait to see them open.
Im crossing my fingers here for you Kyle! You deserve a nice orange/whatever you want.
Orange ... or a pink would be nice too. Heck - Kyle,.... you've made some of the prettiest whites around. Don't give up on us!
Crossing fingers for orangey color here ..... It will not be white, It will not be white, It will not be white!!!!
Crossing fingers and toes here, Kyle. Best of luck. Can't wait to see them open.
Looking double from way up here. Fingers crossed for you Eclipse.
So far its white GGRR! LOL It seems to have a hint of color so will see in the morning.Heres tonight..sweet smell so far..not too strong though. :-)
Oh my, I like that shape. Nice puffy corolla tube. I hope you have color tomorrow. Do you find in the cooler weather that the color doesn't show up as quickly? Kyle, you are going to get color. I just feel it. It's your turn, for sure.
Hopefully it will color up tomorrow. I do like the shape. Does it smell like Versi Orange? I love the fragrance of that one.
Susie, it smells a little like VO..I love the sweet smell of V.Orange. :-)
Maybe it is just slow to get color,I hope tomorrow it changes,it at least has a good scent.
**WAAAAAH!*** It's still white..but has a little green color at the edges. Very nice smell and many flowers on a 5 foot plant.Not bad trait for first bloom.
Todays pic..
Another pic...inside
I've had some crosses this year that didn't get their color until the third day. Maybe a weather thing??
My Madeira (some kind of Versicolor cross) is supposed to be a peachy/light orange color and has had the same white bloom for the past 3 days with no signs of turning color. I attribute this to the cool weather... I got her from a reputable source.
My Maidera never colored up. It stayed white for me so I tossed it.
The flower shape is pretty! What is the color tonight?
Saturday morning..........Look what happened!!!!! Its peachy/ white marbled right now (day 4)........Sweet nice fragrance like VO.
Another shot...
Wow !!! these are beautiful.
Reminds me of 'Orange Sherbet', YUMMM !! You kept the faith kyle!!!! See??? You got a beauty, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy congrats!
Julie
:-) worth evaluating more I guess! Thanks!
She may get darker with age......perhaps in a month. Keepin' my fingers crossed for you!
Congrats, Kyle. That is a beauty and how exciting to develop colour. Good on ya.
Maybe next year it will color up quicker. Too many of them have been slow this year. I'm glad you got the color though. Even if it was slow to come.
WOW! They are beautiful! The color should be intensive next summer.
I think it is VERY worth evaluating next year Kyle! I like it!
Kyle, I love it, very pretty - last year, my original brug bloomed apricot/yellow - this year it is full blown pink, you could have blown me over with a feather, who knew?? I'm a newbie, but I'm not sure the first blush is always a true color test...
Gosh, almost missed this. WTG Kyle their not white. Great photos.
Thanx y'all ! :-)
