Last year I ran out of tags to mark my crosses so I used 4 colors of ribbons, each depicted a different brug. Then I went all over merrily pollinating. Of course I promptly forgot which was which. This brug is X Gold ribbon. It is turning pink.
Today it bloomed for the first time and I immediately knew what brug Gold Ribbon was. Can anyone else tell?
First one to get it will get a pack of very pink seeds.
Oh goodness, those are long tendrils. I'm not good at guessing games though. Butterfly has made some crosses with long tendrils. Whiskers has more 'curled up tendrils', but the gold ribbon made me wonder in that direction. That one you were singing Tom Jones "She's a Lady" had the long tendrils and was pink, but I don't remember you mentioning the bloodlines. Hmmmmm. I give up. LOL Where are all the experts? Guess they'll turn up in the morning. I'll have to check in the morning when the rest of the world is awake.
Wow!!! I can't believe the size of the tendrils! I don't know much about Brugs to even venture a guess. I wish I did because my drool bucket is overflowing. Congratulations to whomever wins the seeds.

I have two seedlings of Gold Rib x L growing(from you).

hmmm perhaps Golden Lady X RK?? geesh those tendrils are gorgeous!
or should that be RK x Golden Lady?
It's a beauty, can't wait to see the color it gets tomorrow!
I am with Laurrie, GL X RK. (So if we are right she wins the seeds, lol.)
My guess is gold ribbon equals RK.
Wow, Kell, I don't know the names and looks on most but those whiskers are awesome looking! Look forward to seeing more pics.
I think I was going down the wrong trail when I was thinking the color of the ribbon was a hint. Things like Golden lady came to mind with the ribbon color but I don't think it's ever produced anything but yellow, cream or white. Rothkirch is Mom or Dad (doesn't that sound strange?)to so many pinks. Oh this is fun. Now, would someone call Holmes and Watson and end this mystery. LOL
Edited for lousy spelling.

Delisa already guessed my guess!
Mary, I think that Kell just used whatever color ribbons that she had handy, but wouldn't be surprised if the gold ribbon was 'the top of the heap', and she drooled over RK a LOT last year!
S O O O O O O O pretty.
OMG!! Just another one to add to my Wish List! hehehe SOOOOOOOO gorgeous!! Bonnie
You guys are just too good. YES, RK!! LOL. Those look just like RK. Exactly!!
This is L'A X RK.
So Gloria, you have the reverse I guess. Can't wait to see them. Really very pretty, graceful flowers.
Gloria, when I pack up the seeds I will be sure to send you some.
Great! Will be lookin' for them. Thank you much.
Congrats Gloria!!!
Has it turned pink yet, Kel? Mine has the most beautiful dark green, crinkled leaves. No buds yet, tho'.
It had started, a light pink but it is cool here. She is not recurving yet at all wither. I would love it if it kept that look. I bet she is a good pink with those parents.
It's very pretty Kell.
NICE tendrils.....
VERY pretty Kell. I love those long tendrils. Congrats, Gloria!
I almost didn't plant these seeds, when I read Gold Rib, thought the bloom was pink with a gold rib in center. Went back later and thought I'd just give them a try and see what I got. Sure glad I did plant them, as the leaves look like something really dark, maybe red even??
Thanks everyone, I'm happy. Never before won a thing in my life, unless you want to call "winning" Ed my DH.
what showy blooms! magnifique.
i'm happier by the minute.
Awesome tendrils .... beautiful!
Gorgeous!!!
Bump!!
and..............Kell:
don't forget I won this guess, Gold Rib was RK.

Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.

Something always nice to say, Oh what a blessing.
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she's okay alone, and there's no messing.
She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she's a Lady
Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.
Well she never asks for very much and I don't refuse her
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her.
What she's got is hard to find, and I don't want to lose her.
Help me build a mansion from my little pile of clay. Hey, hey, hey
Well she knows what I'm about,
She can take what I dish out, and that's not easy.
Well she knows me through and through,
She knows just what to do, and how to please me.
She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she's a Lady
Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine.
Yeah yeah yeah, She's a Lady
Listen to me baby, She's a Lady
Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Lady
And the Lady is mine
Yeah yeah yeah, She's a Lady
Talkin' about this little Lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And the Lady is mine

Yep, that's another one that looks like she wants to visit Auntie Sherry in Arky!! Each prettier than the one before...
Oh wow, kell! I luv your think double pink one! It's simply delicious!

I love the "think double pink", too. What incredible tendrils. Does anyone know what the brug with the longest tendrils is? I'd love to see a photo of that!
Awesome Lady ! Just gorgeous !
