Buds on Blush!!!
Hey do you think she will surprise us and open up during the wee hours of the morning and make her debut with your cup of coffee in the morning? It's happened to me before, eh?
I can't stand this waiting...........
I haven't been this excited for one of mine to open.

Keep em' comin...heyyyyyyyyyy get a flashlight out there 8>}
I tried to lighten them up with the little knowledge I have lol...but here ya go
Beautiful flower OB!!!!
Ooooooops let me take that off the front across the picture
I love it!! The smell is divine, how to describe, hmmmmmmm I am not good at this, but I LOVE it, a nice scent, from 5 feet away or so, so a stronger scent, is there a "sample" description of scents for these LOL? I also wanted to get pollen from it, but how to properly go about this I don't know, first time. I took a q-tip and swabbed it good, placed into baggie and refridgerated. anyone?? help with more details on this and how long does it store well for. I will go a searching in the meantime to get myself up to par on this.
Photo looks great lightened. I will take shots tomorrow before and as soon as I get home from work!!
Gosh!!! My original guess was correct!!!
So proud for you!!!
Judy
PS I want more pictures!!! Aren't we silly!!!
I love the night shots! They are just beautiful!!!!!!!
>>>>>>>>>WOW
Here's a good thread on Pollen
http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/448564/
I take my flower and scrape all the pollen off of each anther...sometimes it requires taking the whole flower and splitting it to get to all of the anther's for pollen but you don't have too unless the flower's almost spent anyhow. I put mine in a peice of folded wax paper and then into a small ziplock and put it in the freezer.
Hope this helps :-) You're gonna be great at this. Got to get my brain awakened, didn't sleep well last night. NEED coffee!
Can't wait to see more pics this morning *yawn* be back when I'm awake!!!
Geesh Julie, you are on here before me waiting to see pics LOL, just took some more and gosh I am in heaven, I do truly love this one, color, scent, form, WOW!!! Why aren't more people growing this one, guess the days ahead will tell huh?
Thanks for the pollen info, I sure think it will be nice to hang onto!
here is your lineup to drink your coffee to
the color is soooo pretty today, temp is 64 degrees at 7:30 am
**Yawning** Still lol...I woke up with the chickens this mornin' lol...first thing I did was turn the computer on in hopes of pics lol...then I go get my coffee, waiting for it to do it's thing now!
I think it is gorgeous too OB! I am suckin' down a cup of Joe right now watching these pretty pics get posted of her this morning! I bet you have 'Cupids Blush' she is really pretty. I'll have to go see if I had any change in color from last night...but I have a couple of blooms on mine and it got in the upper 60's last night I hear.
Keep em' coming sweetie!
Just gorgeous!
one more then I will go out and take more just to see if there is any difference in temps or color
Julie, do you have a photo of Cupids Blush? perhaps that is why I have only ever found one photo called Blush!!!
yessssssss I do and thank you for being my entertainment this morning over coffee...these pics you're taking are beautiful OB!
Let me do some looking...I know I took a pic yesterday of Cool Blush, she is one of the few that had a couple of blooms to photo. But I know I have some of last fall...when it was cooler outside and I get better color when it's cooler weather on my brugs. :-))))
Good Morning!
Julie
Here is a pic of Cupid's Blush (pic is from 2004)
Thanks Brinda, did it ever fully open, or do they stay hmmm how do I say it, closed up similar to your and some of my photos?
Here are my leaves, not sure if that helps any
Well, that pic was from last year and it hasn't bloomed this year. But from what I remember, it never fully opened. Here is another pic showing leaves also.
I also want to know what position the flower is called? it doesn't hang down, it kinda stand straight out from the plant, not up, but out????
see? this is how it looks if I am directly on the side of the plant shooting the bloom???
Brinda did yours stand sideways like mine? weird huh? I figured they pretty much all hung down?
I am heading off to work, should be home today by 1 I hope, I will hurry today!!! I wanna see the bloom and what it looks like, our temps are 68 and it's overcast right now
Talk soon, thanks for all the help everyone!!!
