This is a picture of a seedling that I grew this past summer from one of my crosses. The original name I had given it was already in use, so it now has the name 'King of Orange' I hope it retains its color this coming summer, if it does it will be a registered brug.
very beautiful David
nice Orange David
i hope it does well for you
& the Brug community will have another gorgeous Brug
does it smell anywhere near as good as it looks ?

WOW! I like it. Nice color and such l-o-n-g tendrils. A keeper for sure.
Beautiful color
Lookin REGAL Good, D wv. Forgive my pun...I couldn't resist. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the color remains true for you this second season. I've not seen a brug w/ such even clarity in the orange color range before. This is Great !
This is the first time I am really using my new visibone web color chart...
Would those of you that have one say it is in the 255,74,0 to 240,83,47 range?
More of an orange with blue tones?
I am trying to see if I am seeing the same thing on my monitor as others are seeing!
Thanks,
Margie
Shoot, I put my chart away until mine start blooming again and it is burried in one of my rubbermaid tubs. Can't help ya Margie!!
Said it before, and I'll say it again - this is a beautiful orange brug, David! The cutting you sent me to evaluate is growing nice and healthy - can't wait to see those blooms!! Thanks again! I'll also make sure to re-tag mine so that it reflects it's new name.
Carter.
Beautiful, David. Hope it's color holds for you.
Oh, WOW.
Now I know where to go to beg. LOL!
I'll be behind you, Shirley. LOL
Very pretty and I am anxious to hear about Carter's evaluation this spring and summer.........he is in my area and it will be nice to see how it holds up in this Texas heat and humidity. I also know orange is probably Carter's favorite color.
that is a lovely color
Lovely orange color! How is the fragrance?
My O My David ,
Beautiful orange color, nice shape & tendrils too. Does she have any fragrance ?
Gotta picture of an open bloom?
We're watching you ................ LOL
Now, that is (((ORANGE))), what a beautiful, hot color, WOW!!!!! What is your zone?? I really love your brug, congrats, really pretty and flashy!!!
That's a beautiful color. We need more shades of orange and this ones a beauty.
Thanks for all of the wonderful comments guys, I'll try to answer everyones questions, but I have to clear up a name issue about this brug. I thought that I had a pretty good understanding of the ISHS/ICRA rules when I gave this brug the name 'King of Orange', but the name in its present form is invalid. So to have the name in a appropriate form I am naming it 'Orange King'
Sorry Carter, but you are going to have to re-tag it again! ;) LOL
OK now the questions.
1) It has a wonderful fragrance, very strong early in the evening.
2) The parents are: Tropical Sunset x Whiskers
3) I don't know if the blooms really opened well at night. At the time that this brug was blooming my mother was very ill in the hospital and the day that I took this pic we were having my mothers wake.
4) I live in zone 6, in the southern mountains of WV. We VERY RARELY hit 90 degrees, normally in the 80's but have the humidity.
5) Margie, I just checked my color chart and from the best that I can remember from seeing the bloom in real life, the numbers you mentioned are just about right on!
6) Two people have cuttings for evauluation purposes, the are Carter and Shannon Firehammers. I am presently trying to root one for a VERY special friend. Let's hope that it keeps its color and holds up well so that I can give the ok to release it.
7) Also, some of its siblings show some promise for another 2-3 keepers, but we'll have to wait and see.
Thanks again,
David
Ahah , I did notice a Whiskers influence in the picture. Love that shape.
David, the color is stunning. I love it.
Gosh, it is good to finally get back in here. I had to come look at this one again. The color really is special.
Brugie, do you mean for Dave's to be back in business?? Shoot, I thought it was an Arky thing...
Sherry, notice that there are only a handful of posts for the whole day. Not, not just an Arky thing. LOL! I got some work done today. Daves needs to go down one day a week. Just kidding.
Shoot, Brugie, I even had dinner ready on time!!!
LOL! I didn't even fix dinner. Jim had a bowl of leftover chili.
yay !
Your picture is almost perfect. LOL!
