We have a winner...2nd. Double Pink

I hope you like this one as much as the first one. This, obviously isn't as dark, but she is so girly looking. I love it.

2nd. picture...

Wowsers .... that is beautiful!! So soft, love the way it looks hanging there. Congratulations!!!

WOW!!! I love her, such a pretty soft ballerina pink with swirly skirts! The way that your luck is running, now is a good time to bet on the lottery! Congratulations, Shirley, it couldn't happen to a nicer person!

Congratulation Shirley! I like the color and it has a beautiful shape. It still could be possible, that it may darken up next year. But even if it stays that way, it has a beautiful pastel Pink.

She is gorgeous!!!! :D I love that pretty soft shade.....Congratulations Shirely!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very much for your generosity Monika.....I am so excited!!! :D

Yo Liz.....I hope you are on the eventual release list for one or two of the miraculous doubles that are growing just over the border now! ;)

Yeee Haaaw!!!!
I agree,go get a Lotto ticket! You are Hot!

Hey, did you say girly and pink?? Sounds like it really is MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EU AH EU AH OH!

Congrats!!!! I love it! Saw it and got chills, no lie!!! That soft delicate pink, and the curled back tendrils, it doesn't get better than this. Truly a beautiful brug !!!

I love it Shirley
This has gotta be as good as winning the lottery!!!!

Fantastic.....another dream come true!! Beautiful in every way. I am wondering how you are getting any rest or sleep this week with all the excitement going on at your house.

Its absolutely beautiful!!! Congratulations you 2!! Talk about a great week huh? Outstanding!

Shirley, I love this one even better than the first one. I love the pastel pinks. I would give up every brug I have, and maybe throw in all the rest of my plants, to own this one. Sure hope my keyboard doesn't short out from the drooling.

Thanks everyone. I got past all the screaming, and constant trips to the garden to look, after the first one. I'm calmed down now. I know I'm fortunate to have the first double pink but it was God's will and Monika's help that allowed me this opportunity. I'm not only happy for me, but for everyone who grows brugs because these will eventually be available for everyone to grow in their yards. It takes time. One little brug can't be shared with 50 people. There just isn't enough to go around, so be patient. You are all great friends and I will never keep anything from you. If I wanted to do that, I wouldn't have posted a picture of this beauty. Again, thanks for being so supportive.

These are gorgeous.. I am so happy for you.. now, go get that lottery ticket.

You lucky, lucky girl! I love that one, so delicate and ruffled. Way to go.

Congratulations again, Shirl and Monika! Keep 'em coming.

No one deserves this more than you, Shirley. We are all so happy for you.

Absolutely Glorious Shirley!

It's beautiful, Shirley and Monika. I'm so happy for you both. The line forms behind me. LOL

lol, Ada

It wasn't enough to have 1 Double Pink, huh, Shirley??? Ya just had to have 2...You're just incorrigible..lol j/k

It absolutely stunning! I don't know if I'd want this one to darken up. Everything about it is delicate & Lady-like. What a beautiful bloom!

Congrats Shirley & Monika!!! By the way, what do you 2 have planned for us next week??? LOL

Oh good....does that mean I'm second in line??? LOLLOLOL Just kidding! I'm so happy for you Shirley....and Monika you are so wonderful to share your beauties! Those are glorious looking blooms. They remind me of a little girls petticoat (sp), such a special looking brug! Congrats! (And the lottery ticket sounds like a good idea Shirley!!)

Amazing Shirley, two doubles in a few days. Wow. She is absolutely gorgeous.

She is prettier than the first one! A beauty! I love her just the color she is. congratulations.

This is a beauty also. I love the soft color. Congrats! Is your head getting big?So happy for you, now we'll have 2 to choose from! Yipee!
I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

I think you have to name this one Frank! LOL. Frank and Monika!!

Boy oh boy, it just keeps getting better and better!

It's just a beauty! I'm so happy for you both! I think this one is even prettier.

These are really very beautiful.

Congratulations Shirley and Monika!

I love the color and shape of this one.
Way to go!

Wonder if Frank would like his name on a pink one, with ruffles yet??
It is a "girlie" brug. Thinking I like it better than the first one, heck I have never seen one yet, that I didn't like.

Now that's a beautiful brug!
Congrats again ladies, this one is special :)
Just how many more seedlings are hiding in there, Brugie???

Shirley, once again you have made my day. Such beauty!!!!

My hat goes off to you and Monika. A great week for brugs in the USA.
Frankly I think it should be a National Holiday. :)

Thank you, Ladies!

MY, my,...I am speechless! An absolutely stunning brug! Congratulations! I am willing to wait as long as it takes but I sure hope I can beg, borrow, buy or steal one of these in the next few years.

That a way to go girl. We all are proud of you and Monica for this great effort. Nice to see you with the first one and being a proud mama. Ted

Thanks again everyone. Again, I just grew the seed. Monika made the cross, so the expertise is hers. It isn't hard to stick a seed in soil and hope for the best, but it takes a lot of knowledge to know what to cross to make doubles.

As always, Shirley, so modest.....Don't try to sell yourself short, we're not buying it.. lol

This was a joint effort and don't be shy about the compliments. You deserve them right along with Monika. :)

I love her beautiful shade of pink! Congratulations to you and Monika!

Absolutely gorgeous Brugie! You're a lucky gal.

This one is just awesome. I think I like it better than the other one. They are both wonderful.

I think we really need to wait till next summer to compare them. I bet they are much better then! If that is possible! LOL
