Monika has made so many people happy. I'm one of them. This one is one of her seedlings and I'm hoping for color. The tendrils are awesome....and she is doing this at 88 degrees. I was going to wait to post until she was open, but couldn't contain myself. I wanted to share her with all of you. Thanks Monika.
Great Shirley happy for you to.. awesome...
Oh my!!! I wouldnt be able to contain myself either! The tendrils are amazing! Will keep this on watch to see the blooms. Fingers crossed for color!
Thanks again to both you and Monika, "cause your efforts make me happy just seeing them LOL...the shape is fantastic Shirley and I really hope her color is just as terrific!
What fun!!! I think I must have her pod mate. What a kick. Though my bud holds her self more nodding then pendant. How cool is this. I just love nice tendrils esp if they are pink. LOL
I am hoping with you that it will be a nice Pink and I keep my fingers crossed, that she will continue to hold up in the heat. The length of the tendrils is amazing!
GORGEOUS Shirley, Kell and esp. Monika!!!!
We are making progress. From yesterday to today.....seeing color. I hope she gets more color, but I'd be happy with this.
Jumping up & down in Michigan!! OMG ... look at those tendrils!! You all have got to be so excited ... I know I am. Congratulations Shirley & Monika and Kell.
wow that are long. Color is looking good. Can't wait for another up date
It is gorgeous Shirley, can't wait to see it fully opened.
INCREDIBLE TENDRILS, Shirley !!!! And Now Color ??? Can't wait to see the next update. Hats off to both you and Monika for a job well done.
You just can't beat pink tendrils!! LOL!!
Fantastic!
I am so jealous of those of you who live in zones where you can grow them in the ground... Ohhhh and not to have to dig my dahlias... I am green just thinking about it.
Tombaak, I'm growing almost all of mine in pots. Mainly because a lot of my seeds didn't get started in time to bloom last summer. I have about three dozen in the ground that I started last fall inside. Pots to plant in become scarce around here. I'm also jealous of anyone who can put them in the ground and leave them. She's getting darker. No picture right now. It's too hot out there.
OH, WOW -- that is AMAZING Shirley! Congrats to you and Monika -- what a gorgeous bloom!

My word, she is a beauty Brugie, how in the world did you get that photo, it is super, I love her color and tendrils, that go on, for F R...
Gosh, I just realized that you, Brugie, got all that action in one day, WOW!!! I'm lucky to have that happen in a week, whew...
Just gorgeous. I'll be away for 5 days, looks like I'm going to miss much excitement.
I hope my seedling (Kell) will hold off until I get back.
Do you over-winter in a greenhouse? We have a garage free now, we just bought a van with a hydraulic lift. My 5 year old daughter uses a power wheelchair. The van makes life SO much easier! But it doesn't fit in the garage. lol if it isn't one thing it's another :) I was thinking of all the stuff that would fit in the garage over winter. Not stuff that needs tons of light, but still the possibilities...
Pots huh? I knew there was a reason i have been saving the tons of nursery pots over the years, well, i mean a reason other than i am a pack-rat.
We hit 102 today (we usually have a few days over 100 each summer) this summer is shaping up to be HOT. So heat can be a problem here.
Brugie & Monika,
So very proud for both of you.
Judy
tom, you are in the magic zone, 5a, Monika's and Brugie's, but, goodness, 102??? Even in my wretched zone, 8a, we haven't had temps that high, whew, and good luck, I hope you get a cooling break!!
Shirley, I am glad, that she is changing color. Lets hope, that it will be a dark Pink within the next days. I feared, that you were ending up with another White.
Lets all hope for a nice dark Pink.
Shirley...that is so awesome :)
Wowie! That's gorgeous!!
:) Donna
Shirley
That looks awesome!!!!!!
Dang you're good!
Thanks everyone. I did take a picture last night before dark. Dang it was hot out there. It was getting darker. I always hesitate to take pictures when the sun isn't shinning because most of the time, the color shows up darker.
Those trendils are amazing!! Good job Brugie and Monika!
This morning I had to get up early so I could water plants and then, with my friend Bobbi, go on a shopping trip. LOL! So, I grabbed my camera when I went out to water, and look at what I found.........The color is great. I do apologize for some of the leaves being a little tired looking. We have had some high winds this spring.
Now, I'm going shopping. Have a good day everyone and thanks so much for your interest in my "Happy Day"......I'm thinking that name could stick. LOL! .
So dark....Already??? That's just great and I am so happy for you and Monika. You two have done it...once again.
OH Man.....Brugie, I LOVE this one. All the words to describe it have already been said. With color this dark ...so early... you may have something close to a perfectly shaped red on your hands. Now...ain't that special - LOL
Happy Shopping !!!
OH Brugie what a wonderful color that is, I am soooo happy for you, and Monika, and I think that would be a perfect name. Oh Happy Day.
Doris
