One of the hybrids I ordered from Monika. And yes-I went through the Gov. and it is in quarantine until Aug. 20006.
One of the darkest brugs I have ever seen and the color is unaltered on the photos. Sorry the photos are a little overexposed. The tendrils are amazing and twist and turn after opening. The only thing it lacks is a strong fragrance. It does have a very mild fragrance. Monika has done a terrific job with the development of this color. It was not by accident.
Thank you Monika for giving me the opportunity to introduce Gartenzauber in the US.

What a super long calyx, Barb. I have some seedlings with this as a parent. I bet you are busily crossing her!! LOL. I can't wait to see all you get.
Great pictures as usual. I just love the last one there.
You take wonderful pictures Barb! What a lovely subject! Amazing.
Very pretty flower! Does it flower heavily for you? Stands up to the heat? Do bugs like it?
WOWOWOWOWOW - where does the line form???
She is beautiful Bward...really a prize! Congratulations Monica!!!
Absolutely out of this world, Barb!....... photographs are outstanding!
Will be certainly worth the wait til next year.
That calyx is something else.
Monika, she is garden magic.
putting that one at the top of my wish list. Just beautiful Barb
Barbara, I have to agree with everyone, what can I say that already hasn't been said?? She is truly stunning and absolutely gorgeous. Congrats to you Barbara and to Monika for making it possible for the U.S. to have the opportunity to see such beauty. What a winner!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to be in line for this one myself!
Hugs
Julie
Awesome ... just awesome!!
Gorgeous!!! I agree with everyone else. Where does the line start?
So happy for you that you were able to get this beauty Barb! Gorgeous.
No wonder so few varieties make it out of Germany.
18,000 years is a long time too wait.
With the looks of this one, I'm sure someone will remember to bump this thread back up so the begging can begin. :)
Beautiful, Barb. Monika has some beautiful Brugs.
Yay Barb!
So great to see that you brought this over , now where did you say you live ? lol
I have some GZ babies that will get extra special care after seeing this beauty up close .
( Hope I don't 'special care' them to death , it's been done before ya know )
Wonder if we will ever see free exchange between the countries again ? ......
Yeah right ............. Dream on ! ! ! ! !
*Closes eyes and clicks heels 3 times *

Gosh, I am so fortunate to be able to see these beautiful brugs on this forum...Barb you are a lucky dog and Monika great job....Judy
She's gorgeous.
Brenda
She sure is. :)
It's a beauty Barb! And with Monika's experience I'm sure it has some wonderful genes in it.
Gartenzauber is a member of the Rubiline.
Very pretty pictures, Barb. You are so lucky to have some of Monika's great brugs. She has sure made some beauties. I know it costs a lot to get the plants legally and I hope you are able to recover your costs starting in Aug. '06.
What can be said that already hasn't been said...well I must go change my shirt the drool is very annoying.....
Monika, Gartenzauber is wonderful. I have never seen such intense color. You did a great job on the crosses getting this color. It is even intense in this heat. Can't wait to see the color when it cools slightly in the fall. It was well worth the wait and anxiety getting your beauties to the US.
Barbara.. now why couldnt that be blooming when I was there last week?? That is a very intense pink.. I really like it.. Bravo Monika on such a nice plant.
Outstanding deep rich color!
Because Miss Munché, Barb wants you to go back and visit again!! LOL.
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!
What a knockout! Another one to add to the "must have" list...
Congratulations Monika on another beautiful brugmansia and Barb for being the proud new owner..
I am so happy for you Barbara and this is only the beginning of beautiful blooms from Monika's plants. In spite of all that has taken place in the past year, you have worked hard in taking care of your new brugs and you deserve the wonderful rewards. I can't wait to see more beautiful pictures of gorgeous and unique brugs.
She is absolutly STUNNING and I think I would give up all my Brugs for one of her.

Thanks everyone-Monika is the one the thanks go to. She has bred this where there is almost no yellow in the color. This is as close to a red I have ever seen. If I were to describe the color it would be old brick red. The photo does not do it justice. The light washes out the color.
VISIBONE color 195,47,47.
RHS color Grayed-red group 180 B.
Margie, you plant was mailed today. Had company first of week and couldn't get to postoffice.
It is close but more desaturated, not that intense. It is so hard to give a color to a living plant that has depth.
