Gloria gave me this brug as 'Old Glory.
Then when blooming said it could be another instead.
She went down before we could get it figured.
Anyone know which it might be?
I hate the background of this picture as it is before the glasshouse was done.
Sure looks alot better now (o: ha
Sorry, have no idea. Do know she pollinated with Whiskers an awful lot. Was sure hoping someone had Old Glory. I asked Roz, she said doesn't have it. Try JT. Think he was given a start?
It doesn't look like Old Glory she gave me. I gave JT my root ball of Old Glory last spring. Mine was very pale small yellow flowers. It deleafed very badly in the heat . That is a trait I don't care for in a brug so I passed it on to JT. It doesn't look like Jessie Noel or Becca Lynn either. Has to much color. Maybe it is Biloxi Bell??.
My JN gets that dark, but it has a much wider flare. On my JN, the flare is almost as wide as the length of the flower.
I kinda like the shape of this flower - longish with a narrower flare, but I don't have any idea which it could be.
It isn't 'Jessie Noel'. I have that , too. 'Biloxi Belle' was mentioned as a possible.
I will try and hunt down JT. That's a lead. ha
Thanks (o:
the leaves on my biloxi bell are kinda like the leaves of whiskers,but much darker.what are the leaves on this like?
http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/326250/ Here is a thread of Gloria's that has Old Glory on it, if it will help.
Thanks, Shirley.
I think Gloria sent me that photo when she was not sure what mine is.
To me, mine does not look 'Old Glory'.
Perhaps it is 'Biloxi Belle'.
Anyhow, this is one of hers that I have.
Abutilon, I wish I could help, but whatever it is, it's beautiful, and it came from a wonderful lady, so that's special in it's self. No matter what her name is. Gorgeous color, shape, and form.
