This was given to me as a "Whiskers Cross" cutting by a dear sweet person. It is blooming tonight for the first time, and although the plant itself is small and kind of unnattractive, I love the blooms, and its loaded...
I think I'm in love...
Side view:
very, very pretty Gretchen....I do love whiskers, too! Is this lighter in color than whiskers?
I've never seen Whiskers in person, so I'm not sure Margie. This is a prettier color than what it photographs though. More of a lemon color...Thank you!
I am never tired looking at all your beauties....it is sooo pretty.
I wonder what the other parent is. An interesting mixture.
Just beautiful Gretchen!
It is a interesting mixture!
The flower has a beautiful shape.
You've had a good brug year Gretchen. You are a very good mama!! Lovely.
Very nice!
Gretchen, I can almost smell them over the computer. What great looking flowers.

Wow, Gretchen, I love it and I'm nuts about the tendrils, it looks like it has a teeny, tiny curl on the very ends of the trindrils, so cute!!!

I like it Gretchen. The tendrils are nice and the color is so soft.
I have no idea what the cross is beyond Whiskers being the mama. Today she is a soft peach color. Wish she had stayed pale yellow...oh well, she's loaded with yummy scented blooms...
It was given to me as a cutting by Springsong last winter. Anyone know how she's doing?
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments. The brug fairy along with some very generous DG'rs, have definitely blessed me with some beautiful blooms this summer!
Wow can't believe you don't have a whiskers!!! She is a wonderful grower and bloomer. Only draw back is the bugs like her too.
Maybe one of these days, Donna...I have so much on my plate right now, and I'm really going to try to concentrate of bug resistant varieties from this date forward. I have a few that have been hardly touched, but my versis all look like Swiss cheese!
Unfortunately, this one ended up being a Dr. Seuss look-alike. A little smaller, but very similar.
