Another hot pink. This brug caught my eye a few days ago, but today the blooms were really much darker. Mid size blooms.
I feel so lucky!!
This brug was grown last year, the winter pushed it down on its side. Tthe branch these blooms were on, was actually almost lying flat on the ground. The brug has 4 new suckers coming up straight now. So I clipped this off to get a better look, it was so crowded amongst the other brug seedlings. So I held this branch up towards the sky.
Excuse the leaf litter below this. This brug is growing on my rented growing grounds, and I leave the dead leaves on the ground to decompose.
When I pulled the tag up, I felt so bad. Poor Shirley got a seedling from this cross she hated, and I got one I love.
I am so lucky!!
wow Kell you are certainly the Queen of Pinkdom
WOW Kell, I have never seen such a deep pink! That is amazing!
Wowsers Kell .... look at that color!! Very nice!! WTG!
Beautiful!
:) Donna
Just beautiful! I'm SO happy for you. Dig that puppy up and take her to your house so you can enjoy her with your morning coffee.
Just beautiful Kell !!
Boy, that is a dark one. I wonder how dark it would be in South Texas? LOL
Very pretty, Kell!
LOL Mini....I was wondering the same about Oklahoma! Weren't you Ronna? LOLOL Very nice Kell! It is beautiful!
Kell, you are lucky! That is real pretty.
I didn't hate it, it just wasn't good enough to keep. If I kept them all, I'd be in big trouble. LOL!
They are nice Kell, you sure get lots and lots of pink!
AH but none of mine are truly pink, Susie. They all get to be an odd color even if they start off pink. I need to get a color chart to see what color they really are called. Not pink and not orange.
Thanks all. It was such a fun find last night after a long day at work. LOL. OK I lied , after a short day at work. LOL
I brought home some blooms to get their pollen. I just remembered them. LOL. They are even pretty wilted.
they are almost Rasberry red
Kell is that Rubyline x Rothkirch?- had to edit- was so excited I forgot to say WOW!!! You need to get one of the Visibone color charts.

Nice rich color!

IMO, the wilted ones look like a clear, true red - if that pink was white, I'd say they would look more red...they are very pretty!!
Gorgeous colour Kell and the tendrils look fantastic!!! Ü
OMG, I'm just a 'lurker' here in Brugs and I have to say that pink looks almost red? Wow, wow and wow!
Where can I get one? :-D
Definitely a reddish coral....what do I know....lol. It's gorgoues, beautiful, outstanding....etc, etc.

Beautiful Kell, what is the cross?
Rosamond X RK, Linda. Thanks
Is that the same cross as 'Red' and 'Sexy Lady'? I've got some of yours coming along nicely but no Ys yet.
No, Linda. I do not think so. Well, I think I need to look up Sexy Lady. It probably has Rosamond in it. I think Red has L'A in it.
kell-possible name Lady in Red.
I REALLY love this one, Kell ya done good.
BWard I love the name you have suggested.
Judy
Very pretty Kell. No doubt, you will have an exciting summer seeing your seedlings bloom. I hope you get that elusive pink you are trying for.
I love it, Kell....
Am I growing her sisters?
I can't wait now... :)
Kell that is so beautiful. Almost red, amazing
You could be Eva, lots of those seeds were sent out. I hope you get some great ones!!
Yes, Donna, it does. But it also can depend what day it is. LOL. I have noticed that with my other dark ones. Sometimes they are so dark then the next flush they are still dark but not as deep. Tonight Susanne was the darkest I have ever seen her here. I do not know what the difference was that made her so dark today.
I took a pic today of a new seedling. I will go look and check out the cross and see if it is the same. I am amazed at the differences I get between seeds of the same cross. I do notice Suav. seeds to be more uniform in what they produce from the same cross. At least fo rme. All white. LOL
Oh Frannie, if I got that pink I would not have anymore fun looking. LOL. Sometimes the hunt is better than the find. I am in no hurry. Did you have a good time at your new place? I bet you are tired. Almost done?
Good one Barb, I will see if it is so red next flush!!!
