L'amour x Susanne #1. This is one we have dubbed "the missing link", the flowers looked very much like a Datura when it first opened, some are held totally upright, some horizontal, and some nodding.

#2 is a beauty.
OH Mary!!!! What I wouldn't give for your L'amour x Susanne #1, that is just so breathtaking!!!!!
#2 is grand too, but geesh, #1 is to die for!!!
#3 bloomed today
Nice long tendrils
Very pretty Marilyn, I am waiting for my Susanne to bloom for the first time. I have two big buds about ready to open. I can hardly wait.
That last pic of #3 is opening up more.
Mary I have a pink with the "outward blooms" but not near as pretty as yours, but I really like the blooms being where they can be seen easily.
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. She is just beautiful.

Your missing link is so cute!
I really like #2 &3. Long tendril just fascinate me! Hope to see lots more pictures. I'm on vacation from work for 2 weeks and plan to spend lots of time on DG looking at all the beautiful brugs.
Just beautiful Mary.
Here is #1, the missing link, today
I love that, but then I'm drawn to the unusual.
I do prefer the nodding ones; what fun to see an upright bloom, and such a clear pink, too.
OH Mary! I am simply in LOVE with that bloom! I l really love the way that stands up!
Is this one of your crosses? Do you need someone to trial in in Ohio LOL I would love to have that one when it's available!!!!

Here is a new L'amour x Susanne seedling. I may not get to see these flowers fully open, but they were so close, so I decided to open them up, and the flowers were already turning pink inside the calyx. They are very big, long, fat buds.
Don't know what will happen to all my great seedlings with the approaching hurricane, gonna just lay them down on the ground and cross my fingers.
I hope it misses you and everyone is safe and sound. Looks like this one may be another pretty one for you.
Oh, Mary, I so hope it misses you and that your place will be safe too. I wish there was some way to help all of you. My family is scattered all over the path of the storm, no matter which way it goes, my prayer is that it will dissipate before it hits land. Good luck and keep us posted when and if you can, take care and be safe!!!!
Oh Mary, please stay safe!! I had seen where all major roads leading to New Orleans are only outbound now, are you anywhere near there???
I will be keeping all of you down there in the path in my thoughts and prayers

Hope all is well for you (and all the GC people). I like all of the new seedlings, you doing good.
Mary, all of you in the area are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated.
Stay safe, all of you there.
Love those brug blooms, Mary.
I want to extend my prayer's to all of you as well. Please evacuate if they advise you to and be safe.

Mary, watching tv this morning I hope you are safe and the storm doesnt hit too hard in your area....my prayers are going your way....Judy
FYI!
Mary and her family left yesterday morning, not sure where they went, the phone kept cutting in and out. At least they got out!
I too hope you and your family are safe!!!! Thanks pphil1 for letting us know...
Thanks for letting us know, I worried all day yesterday and today at work wondering if she got out!!! Still in my prayers!
Thanks, Paul for the info. Hope all are safe.
I just read this and I'm so glad Mary is safe, I've really been concerned. Is DonnaB okay?? I've not been able to find out about her...what about others on DG from the area, BarbW, etc???
