Seeing IS Believing

Barnesville, GA(Zone 8a)

Photos just don't do these beauties justice, just look what I saw last nite!
I still don't quite believe it, it hasn't even been hot yet!

Edited to add that these photos are of tiG's garden, not mine!

That is the best picture I have seen of her. She looks RED!! Gorgeous.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Wow, she is really pretty. Love the depth of her color.

Columbia, SC(Zone 8a)

Oh, Vi - that is breath taking. Looks like you have lots of pretty blooms. Is the white bloom the way it looks when it first opens?

Gulfport, MS(Zone 8a)

Love her, i especially like the way you have the 2 side by side!!!

Denver, CO(Zone 5b)

Outstanding! The orangish/peach in the back looks beautiful also.

It is so sad that Kris is leaving all of her seedlings and friends here and returning to Europe.

We all will surely miss Kris. She is a wonderful person.

I am certainly grateful to her for growing tiG's seed that produced "Painted Lady"

Barnesville, GA(Zone 8a)

OMG! I think I just did the greatest faux pas on DG! Please forgive me, everyone, I guess I worded that badly, and will edit :(
(Boy do I feel stupid!)

This brug belongs to tiG, a friend and I finally visited her last nite for brug sniffing frenzy. Those are all her beautiful brugs, not mine (I wish!) and her beautiful garden! Quite a few of the brugs shown below had been Painted Lady's...

LOL Vi! No harm done!! : )

Thanks Paul, I still have visions of that brug in my head--just got too excited to show it off, I sure couldn't believe my eyes!

Here's one more pic of PL and Wild & Crazy (Cala's cross) in the sunlight, Kris grew some great brugs, I couldn't believe how tall and prolific they are.

She's stunning Vi. Such a beautiful dark pink.
Sorry to hear Kris is moving away.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

I don't care who made the cross or who grew them. They are gorgeous and should be bragged about. There are a lot of good growers and hybridizers out there and every one of them should get credit for what they have done. Don't feel bad Vi. I would have been a little excited myself to post such pretty pictures. I don't have to worry about it because I'm not good at taking pictures.

The brug, color and shape, is hypnotic, perfection!!!!

So glad you were there to provide us with the beautiful pictures; I try to sniff and savor each and every bloom - makes me heady and happy!

Love them all. Can you believe we have these beauties in the US? We have come a long way in a short time.

Fabulous!

Homestead, FL(Zone 10b)

Those are some beauties!

Vancleave, MS(Zone 8b)

yes it is really sad that Kris is going back to Sweden. I wish her much luck and hope she settles in quickly

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

Gorgeous ... what great color! Nice shot!!

Columbia, SC(Zone 8a)

Thanks for posting the photos, Vi. Kris contributed many beauties to the brug world, both as a hybridizer and as a seedling parent. Thank you Bonnie and Kriss, those are just gorgeous.

Barnesville, GA(Zone 8a)

Thanks for understanding y'all!

BTW, EVERY one of those brugs had great scent--we wound up staying till midnite smelling the brugs on the breeze, she must have had at least 15 of them blooming! I finally got to see lot of them I'd never experience before, what a treat :)

I'm sure Kris will stay in touch--she has strict orders, lol!

This was my favorite in scent--I think it was her first--remember her "Lucky Orange" her first brug from seed was this one.

Beautiful Vi! I'm still waiting on some real orange which I like on brugs. That top one is a great color. I keep thinking of KoolAid when I look at it.

MSJen, it took me awhile to find David's old thread, but here's Kris :) and her original thread about her "Lucky Orange" (not named) http://dg.davesgarden.com/forums/t/431430/

It's only fitting to show the lucky lady that raised such fine brugs, sadly she won't be growing any in Sweden :( We will miss you, Kris!
