Last summer I bought seeds from Calas; soon I will have my first bloom.
Here is Eventide/Bert with a nice sized bud.
My first hybrid seedling
Congratulations! The tendrils look great! Cant wait for more pictures.
thats really super...

I've got some of that cross, but the mites attack them. They're not doing well but I want to see it bloom because I love the look of Bert. I would love a cutting of Bert, but don't know where to beg.
Linda if you find a place to beg for Bert, let me know and we can double team them, lol, but the truth!!!
What an interesting cross. I can't wait to see the end result. Bert is so neat. I have never seen that bloom in person. Congrats Polly on your first seeding to bloom. The first of many!!
I wonder what the mite gene is. The texture of the leaf or the smell? There definitely is one, I can have a group of brugs side by side touching and only one will be covered in mites. The others do not get them.
He was open this morning (anything w/Bert on it has to be a he). FAirly good color for the first day - and the bloom is larger than ET's
Thanks, Kell - I'm peeling and soaking some more of Cala's this a:m; creamsickle crosses with colored "partners". You all got me wishin'!
Took a shot of my ginger lily this morning also; I am very fond of her. My yearling puppy had found and consumed half the tasty root, so I wasn't sure I'd see her bloom this year.
Oh, look at those tendrils! Love it!

It looks wonderful!
Polly, I have a friend named Bert and she is VERY beautiful, so there are some girl Berts. My friend's real name is RoBERTa, Bert is her call name. Your seedling is a beauty and so is the orange plant, both very pretty!!
I think the Creamsickle crosses will be hot. I am pollinating my Cream sickle blooms now!! Last year I didn't at all if I recall right. The year before I think I only had a few pods on her last. Colored doubles here we come. LOL
Your yard looks like it is beautiful. I love that ginger. It looks like Bert's offspring is going to be special too! She or I mean, he is so pretty. He though looks like a she there. LOL
Great looking blooms. I bet they smell wonderful.
This pm it looks very yellow - hope it gets rosy tomorrow
Also took a view of the back yard thru the wisteria trellis from the end of patio
and here is the view from the other direction, towards the planter on the patio and house
Pretty bloom. Polly. I love your Wisteria trellis.
Very pretty bloom and I love the shade of yellow. Your yard is also very lovely.
