How lovely. Congrats to you and Bonnie.

What a pretty sight to greet me first thing this morning!

San Antonio, TX(Zone 9a)

Very, very pretty, Gretchen. Congratulations on all your beautiful seedlings.

Ellicott City, MD(Zone 7a)

What a gorgeous seedling!

I grew out the same cross (by Terry McCloud, I think) and mine hasn't turned pink yet! It's still light yellow!! I REALLY wanted a beautiful pink one just like yours.....WAAaaa! If mine doesn't turn pink very soon...it's headed for the compost pile!

Mirpur (A.K), Pakistan(Zone 9b)

Beautiful and neat.

Oh, Gretchen, that one is elegant, and I LOVE the ones with that look, I call them designer brugs...

Congratulations Gretchen!!! Its so pretty!

Wildwood, FL(Zone 9a)

Gretchen I love the shape and the color.

Thank you all!

I'm quite happy with this one!!! I have air-layered her in an attempt to take the whole plant. If it doesn't root before frost, I'm just going to treat her as a giant cutting. Her canopy is just too small to cut on that this point. Here is a picture I took about 30 minutes ago:

Sure can see the EP influence on this one! Great pictures.

Gretchen, that is a beautiful cross!! Her shape is oh so nice too. PB & EP are two of my very favs!!!!

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

Gretchen, it is very pretty.

GOD's Green Earth, United States(Zone 8b)

Thank you both!

Shelly, yes you can -- I think you can see the influence of both...I have PB in full bloom right now and this one is the same color, just a couple of shades darker. And, she didn't lose her shape in the heat (90's) today!!! I'm wondering what she'll look like tomorrow...

Sherry -- it really is! I think pretty much every one that grew this out for the hybridizers that did this cross, got some pretty nice looking seedlings. Lots of look-alikes, but as long as everyone doesn't try to name them...Personally, I'm looking forward to just having this one in my garden, as she's not the prettiest from this cross, so she won't be named.

Thank you both! I'm being blessed with tons of blooms on most all the brugs right now -- its almost overwhelming. I want to post pictures of them all...

It really is, Shelly! I'm just thrilled with these blooms. I just hope she proves to be a good bloomer, 'cause she sure took her time with this first mini-flush! Thank you!
