Poppysue's seedling Rosamond x Dr. D.
She looks so pretty this morning!
I love pinks and purple combinations of any kind of plant
LOVELY! I agree pinks and purples look great together!
Cool looking flowers.
I love pink and purple blooms together as well. In fact, I always try for that combo. Love the pictures.
Very pretty! And such a nice color combo.
I love that color !!!!
What a pretty pair!
Very, very nice. Yummy color, nice tendrils!
I don't remember who made the comment, but it definitely looks like a poodle skirted girl, very pretty.
very nice combination.
Thank You!
I hope she stays this way forever and does well during evaluations! I have dibs on the possible name 'Poppysue' for this one. I know it ain't a poppy but it just feels like the best name to me. A nice namesake for Poppysue!
Pretty, Vicki. How did you get it to bloom so short?? Did you grow it from a seed or from a cutting? I love the pink/purple combo too. Good job Poppysue.
WOW! They are really beautiful...Pink is so pretty....
The blooms look great! Very pretty combination.
Hey Vicki,
I sure do like the looks of this brug! The color is a clear, soft pink. I like the way the corolla just seems to "POP" out of the calyx. ;)
Linda this was a cutting from a seedling that Poppysue could not winter over last year. It grew very well for me and got pretty tall but then it started to have bad leaf curling mite problems. Chemical treatments did not last so I cut her top off and trashed it. Poor thing! It's a miracle she is still here. She almost got trashed completely.
David I like the pop out of the calyx look about her too. My Ciera started out like that and so did Daddy's Alice M. but they didn't stay that way. They both matured to have a longer more versicolor-like form.
David your OK has two buds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Oh Vicki,
I am so glad that OK has buds for you!!! You and Brugie are the only ones that I know of that has buds/blooms on OK. The mother plant has still yet to make a Y :( The cuttings you and Brugie got were little side shoots. Lucky you'll.
Please, pretty, pretty please, email me with pics when he does bloom. :)
Without a doubt you'll get pics David. I took pictures of the biggest bud a couple of days ago to send to you. I'm soooo looking forward to these gorgeous orange flowers!
Gorgeous !! Clear and bright !!
Margo
Wow , she shore is purty !
Funny, I tossed Dr.D last year , she just didn't bloom worth a darn for me.
For sure Poppysue knew what to do with it and did it well !

very pretty Ms V
What a gorgeous setting!
A strong healthy plant that is really taking off but she'll never make it thru evaluations :( Her flowers do not last more than a day. And they wilt terribly in the heat. The only time they are pretty is first thing in the morning but they are dead by the next morning. I can deal with droopy flowers but only if they last for many days like Isabella. I'm still gonna keep her for awhile longer ... just because.
Too bad she doesn't last longer. I really like the coloring on her, especially against your purples.
Oh, that's too bad. I liked the swirly skirt!
V,
That's the main reason I trashed my Dr.D
Sorry that trait was passed on, your seedling sure is beautiful tho.
Because of the Katrina storm we've had three days of clouds and sun mixed. These flowers have lasted almost 3 days so far. Never wilted one time. A little wind tattered but still perky. This one might make a good shade brug. Time will tell.
The flowers are not completely pink. See the white neck? From corolla edge to edge the flowers are 7" wide. The points are 3 inches long making the entire flower 13 inches wide point tip to point tip. She's a full figured woman.
Bad pic of the mouth but you can see the white in there too.
