I want to name her Tatiana. A very beautiful name of a friend of mine.
Seedling Rubyline x Rubyline
Yes, I know people usually want to evaluate for a second season before deciding to keep or cull, but how could this one get better??? It's so beautiful already....

No doubt she is a keeper. The heat and humidity didn't bother her at all. I don't think she can do anything but get better.
Tatiana is perfect for her! :)
Tatiana is a beautiful name for a beautiful brug, fits nicely, IMO....
I too like the name -- fits her nicely :)
Absolutely gorgeous Donna ... can't wait to see more photos.
Great name for her Donna. Would love to see the children of a get together between your brug and Kell's brug.
Donna, that is one gorgeous brug. Boy, there are some nice ones coming out this year. I can't wait until some of them are available, so I can start culling.
Kell...this is a photo I saved from your Sexy Lady, when we were talking about color...maybe it will help with the question here!
That is not Sexy Lady Margie, you must mean "red.".
I love the name you picked, Donna. 4 syllables. That is unusual!
Ophs....sorry....should I remove it from this post....really didn't want to turn the attention from the pretty pink Donna is posting about! What do you think?
BTW...your red is lovely too!
Great Donna i love when they go from white to pink what a sutprise. keep a close eye on her Bob
I had a chance to see Donna's Rubiline#3 earlier this week.It's all she says it is and then some.What a beauty.
Well it is a beautiful name. Very elegant so I think it is perfect. I had heard the name on one of the T.V. shows I watch and really liked it then met a new friend Tatiana that is such a wonderful, sweet, and giving person how could I not name it for her. I thought about my grandmother, daughter, and grandsons but their names just didn't fit it. Tatiana really fits this brug.
Tatiana is a wonderful name for an extraordinary brug. Congrats, Donna! That flower is truly unique.
Beautiful name Donna for such a beautiful brug.
Pretty name Donna.
Tatiana is a beautiful name and it reminds me of the name of ballerina! I had to go back and look at your pics! I think it's a fitting name. A beautiful name for a beautiful brug!
Pretty name, Donna.
Riddle me this. I was right there when each flower opened(5) and I pollenated them immediately with freshly pulled open EP pollen. No chance of contamination. The next 3 bloomed inside the house during TS Matthew and all pollen and stamens removed. I just cut it all out so not to tear up my flowers trying to get only pollen. The next 2 blooms opened out side and all the insides again were cut out. Well would you believe every flower that has bloomed has a seedpod. So is she self pollinating??????? There is absolutely no way any of the other 5 blooms could have been pollinated because there was nothing there to pollinate!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh...that is really strange.
Well, I surely don't have any self pollinators and that is NOT a brag, ha!! Do buds ever start out brown and turn green?? If by chance I get a seed pod, how long does it take it to ripen?? Does frost hurt pods, and if it would should I dig up the brug and bring it in???
Sherry -- they can take months. And from what I've read, sometimes when you dig them up, I'm afraid they can drop the pods. I have some on a whiskers cross that are four months old and still not ripe...
PS -- I have a seedling that was blooming all by herself. No other blooms on any other plants, and she is loaded with pods -- probably 10-12. The calyx has fallen off of them, and they are each about 2'' long and quite stout looking. I thought it very strange...
Well, if this 'thing' happens to be a pod, I'll just run a light out there and keep it warm when it frosts, I have a close outlet. Thanks, Gretchen!!!! BTW, I need a cutting from the one that is loaded with pods, without special care, whew!! I really cannot imagine why I don't have pods, because I have a zillion crepe myrtle bees, and I've pollinated too. Oh, well.
Sherry -- why not take a picture and post it here? Which cultivar has it? Pretty fun if you have one. I was so excited when I found my first pods. I wasn't expecting them, so it was such a fun surprise. Now I can only hope that maybe their are some cute seedlings in them...

I love the color on this one. I, too received seeds of this one to grow out but it got a late start and I'm afraid I won't get to see blooms until next summer. I hope mine is just as beautiful as your's.
What does Rubiline#3 mean???? Mine is tagged Rubyline x Rubyline.
Mine is the 3rd one to bloom. That is how we are keeping track until they prove themselves and are registered and named.
What do the other 2 look like Donna? Do you know?
I haven't seen pic of #1 but Pete's #2 is very pretty . Different pink from mine, more hot pink looking and his tendrils don't curl up like mine. His has a strong recurve on the bloom too.
What fun to have all these very special brugs here now. I just love it!
Thanks, Gretchen!!! After all the wind and rain, I went back to look and one was gone and the other one has shriveled and if it was a pod, I think I'll have to wait on another one. Oh, well.
her 3rd flush is jsut as nice as the first two even with cooler temps.
