Meet 'Lucifer'

Another of my brugs I have finally been able to start propagating this spring.
Golden Lady x Butterfly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Named for 'Lucifer'' ..the morning star.

"In Roman astronomy, Lucifer was the name given to the morning star (the star we now know by another Roman name, Venus). The morning star appears in the heavens just before dawn, heralding the rising sun.
The name derives from the Latin term 'lucem ferre', bringer, or bearer, of light."
In the Hebrew text the expression used to describe the Babylonian king before his death is Helal, son of Shahar, which can best be translated as "Day star, son of the Dawn." The name evokes the golden glitter of a proud king's dress and court (much as his personal splendor earned for King Louis XIV of France the appellation, "The Sun King")."

And for the Archangel, Lucifer ..bearer of light.

Lemon yellow horizontal blooms are held high and proud.
Excellent fragrance.
Blooms in tremendous flushes over rich green foliage .. like stars in the sky!
The creases between the flares deepen in colour as the blooms ages.

Beautiful blooms, Alice

Very nice looking Brug!

Somehow, this got cut off when I posted ..
I want to thank LHughes for helping organize my data this spring.
The chart we made together has been invaluable to me now for easy reference.

Thanks, All (o:

Outstanding yellow brug, Alice. There are so many look-alike yellows. This is definitely not one of them! Very, very pretty!

Mel

She's(?) a beauty Alice, I love the stories behind the names. When you say you've started propagating, do you mean you're making cuttings? When will she be available?

aka LHughes

Thanks, Everyone .. for all the kind things said.
It's good to see friends here again, too (o:

Linda,
Glad you saw this thread. Thanks so much for all your help earlier this year.
There are still parts to fill in, but that chart has kept me better organized.
Better the the note book I jot things in. Now I transfer to the chart format.
I am not a lazy person, just my life is always too busy.

I had a few cuttings rooted in trial previously. But let this plant grow to big and last week took a good number of cuttings. For all your help, I will send you one ..if you wish.

DonnaB,
I owe you, too ..for 'Tatiana' ..which by the way both cuttings rooted.
#1 that rooted first is in a bigger pot now. Looking forward to seeing those blooms (o:
As I owe you, too .. if something you want as it is ready, just let me know.

Thanks, again, Everyone.
Alice

WOW, Alice!!! That would be great, thank you.

I've added to the spreadsheet and can send you a updated copy if you would like.

Any time you have new information to add to your creations, just send me the information and I'll add it.

Alice-absolutely stunning flower. Now, I want to see some of your ugly or white hybrids----I know you must be hiding them somewhere. LOL They all can't be beautiful.
