Here is my seedling 'Banana Split'. This is her second year, and her blooms are consistant with those of last year. Her color at 7:00 am was 255,242,77. She is being trialed by several other people, and I hope she does as well for them.
Banana Split Today
That is a very pretty yellow, I like it alot. I would love to have it in my yard. When you decide to release it let me know I want one. Great name!!
Connie
Very pretty.
Thanks, Connie. I'll keep you in mind. But, I have a terrible memory and quite a few people have indicated a desire for this one, so remind me, okay :)
Thanks, Linda!
Gretchen, this is the first time I've seen this brug. I really love the color, I hope it does well for you and everyone else!
Gretchen, I've already got a good trade in mind. LOL! Will talk to you later this summer about it.
Gretchen, that is wonderful, I love the unusual color as well as the frilly shape, a real eye-catcher, I've never seen another like her, WOW!! I really like seeing what does well in your area because I believe the same would work in mine. I will say this about my area - it's an excellent place to trial a brug because we have such extreme weather conditions. Hint, hint, to all of you, lol!!
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. that is so gorgeous. Wowzer.
What a happy, happy brug!...good luck, Gretchen, to you and your trialers!
Gretchen. Lovely bloom-the one in MS is already rooted and growing like a weed.
Its beautiful Gretchen! The bloom looks very large!
very pretty
LOL! My post is gone again. LOL. Anyway, I love it, I love it, I love it. The color is so cheerful and the dinner plate look is great.
It's beautiful, gretchen. I hope my name was on your list. LOL
What a beautiful and cheerful bloom! I love it!!!
Beautiful .. i seen Banana split i had to look i love them the eating b.s. its beautiful like sunshine...
Thank you all! I wish I could take an image that would capture the true look of this brug. She is a pure "banana" yellow with a white throat. Here's a shot of the whole plant taken a few minutes ago (lopsided and bug-eaten as she is). Its really hot here again today (90's) so she's pretty droopy:
She's beautiful. Banana split with a bit of lemon sherbert thrown in.
Oh Gretchen she is just beautiful. I love that clear yellow, it really stands out.
Way da go...........
Hot diggity dog, I am in love! Thanks for the second shot!!
That one is very pretty! I like the pastel yellow, not really a screaming lemon yellow like some others. I like the bright yellows too, but this one is very pretty.
Really beautiful...love that name too!
Margie
What a soft pretty yellow. I really like it.
Very nice!
Thanks everyone! Hopefully I can get the tree back to a pretty shape. The deer tore off one side of her early in the season... We'll see what beomes of her. She was really pretty last year!
That is so very pretty! I'd like to know how to get ahold of one of those color charts.

Thank you Shelly! Me too :)
Kretchen she popped out friday but didn't open untill last night and it rained all day and is still raining today. Will try to get a pic when we get a break
Gretchen, I'm still waiting for my bud to open up....it's taking it's time cos' I'm watching I guess lol. She's short & fat...betting she'll be sassy too lololol...hoping anyway. Raining off and on here too, but boy did we need it. Let it rain! I, too, will be posting a pic when she does :-)

Oooppppppppssssssssss mine is orange. Did DH mix up the tags on it and Saltwater Taffy when he planted them side by side???????
bloom close-up. This is second day color. It opened saturday night. Has been raining all day Sunday and half of today. Temps in upper 70's at bloom time but has been uppper 80's to mid 90's the days that it came out of pod before opening
Will get color chart numbers when DH gets home to help me if it is not raining again.

Gretchen & Donna
Both of your Brugs are just wonderful!!!
Judy
Gretchen & Donna - you both are blessed with two beautiful Brugs! Way to go, ladies!!
Oh My! Your plant look awesome, Donna...but, I'm so surprised by the color! Just goes to show the difference environmental culture can make. I'm so sorry :(
She's still blooming banana yellow for me!!!
If she was mixed up with ST, that would be a double shocker, 'cause that one bloomed pink with a yellow rim for me. Guess only time will tell.
That's what I was thinking too Gretchen. Both are pretty though. Now I can't wait to see what mine does! The anticipation is killin' me!
Hugs
Julie
Oh, Gretchen, what is the ST?
I'm confused (big surprise), are these two brugs the same brug, and the difference in where they were grown made the difference in color?? They are both grand prize winners, wow!!! In my area, spring 2005 is SOOO different from spring 2004. I have a hibiscus, blooming now, for the 4th growing season - the past three years, it bloomed pale apricot, it's a double. It has been blooming the past week and it's DEEP, RICH, ORANGE - no pale - no apricot. Only difference is that I'm using my 15-5-15 on all my plants, is it possible that fert could make the color change? FWIW, our hydrangeas are true, beautiful pink this season, in the past they were blue, but I didn't use the brug fert on them, too lazy, they are in a different garden...maybe they think Kell is coming for a visit, lol!!!
Yes it is beautiful Gretchen but I really wanted that beautiful Yellow LOL. DH swears he planted one at a time so was no way to mix up tags. Hmmmmmm Well I love the orange too. Maybe because it was cloudy, rainy and cool after being in the 90's?? Has some more bloom pods on it so we will soon see. Saltwater Taffy doesn't yet.
Took another pic today. Poor thing was pretty tattered after 3 days of rain. Brought bloom inside to get color numbers. So my numbers are 255,153,0 to 240,151,47 inside under bright light on 3rd day of bloom. Color more towards the first set of numbers. Temps low to mid 70's, rainy, and gloomy
