This is a seedling from Datdog. It gets a little pinker every day. Since it is winter now, I'm thinking it will darken up more this spring. It think it might just be a winner!
Kay
Dat Dog's pink double seedling
She looks to be a tall one. Very pretty!
Barb
Is that a Creamsickle baby? Too cool Kristi made a double pink. I hope it gets real dark for you next summer. It looks like a beauty too!
So very pretty ! Congrats to both of you, good job ! God bless, Margo
Kell, it's Creamsickle X Rosamond! It looks like Creamsickle throws a lot of doubles.
If it ever makes it to registration and naming:
There is a street in Bogalusa, LA named "Plum Nearly Road". I always just thought that was the greatest name! Laughed every time I thought about it. What do you think of naming this brug "Plum Nearly Pink"?
Congrats Kay. I managed to save 2 of them after Katrina and a EP x Rosmond from Kristi's bunch. It that from the seeds I shared with you?? I had 10 of them. They are tough and took the salt water where most of my named brugs died from it. Or for everyones info about the only brugs that survived were pinks although not all of the pinks survived. Southern Pearl, Forever Morr, EP, RK, Dbl Peach, Aurea Pink didn't survive and I nearly lost Tatiana
Donna, did Rhapsody make it?
I love Creamsickle now as a mother. I could kick myself for not pollinating lots of her flowers this year. I have gotten 2 really nice brugs from her, a double apricot and triple orange. Well I have only seen1 flower from the triple orange so far but I am forever hopeful. LOL Barb has gotten a few special ones too.
And they are big babies too! I bet X Rosamond really makes your baby big. Funny to, I have a Rosamond baby that is one of my favorite seedings this year and I hardly used her either to make pods.
That is a fun name. I wonder who came up with it in the first place and why! I say go for it, Kay!
I wouldn't be surprised if your bloom was pale for Rosamond is pale. I hope you are slathering a dark pink that has 2 pink parents all over those blooms Kay. You will get great babies I bet!!
Ada is that the one I was trailing for you??? I need to change the name tag from the cross. It is still struggling but not dead. I dug it up a couple of weeks ago before the first really cold snap. It had died back almost to the ground but then stopped and put on one tiny leaf. It still has the leaf but hasn't done anything. Probably didn't help being dug up.
Donna, I think those were from the ones you gave me. I had some like them previously though, so I'm not sure.
Kell, you are right. The flowers on all these seedlings are big. I measured one of the others at 20 inches long.
Rosamond is not pale down here in the heat and humidity. It just amazes me how much the climate has to do with the colors on these things.
Donna's Tatiana is the pollen I'm using on just about everything right now. She has two sets of pink genes.
Donna, she is getting reved up for a show. She is covered with buds right now. Up until now they have been one or two at a time. That is one pretty flower!
kay, congratulations. what a beauty!
Oh BOY!!! That huge bloom made over with Tatiana. Those will be hot pink seeds for sure. LOL.
Please post a pic of your Tatiana flush, Kay. Mine didn't bloom this year. So sad. She is such a beauty, I would love to see her again.
Are you in a GH or are you still so warm where you are?
LOL! Kell! I'm EVERYWHERE! The greenhouse is stuffed, there are about 20 brugs in the garage, the back porch closet is stuffed with assorted tropicals, the front bedroom is full of eppies, there are newly planted brug seeds and log cuttings on my freezer, my dryer, and my washing machine, the perimeter of the breakfast room floor is lined with bubblers full of various cuttings, along with a huge ginger plant.
Our weather here is so unpredictable. It was 70 degrees today, going down to 28 tomorrow night.
Actually I still have a few brugs out in the ground blooming their heads off after having been frozen for two nights. Others totally bit the dust during that spell. I've concluded some of them must be a lot more cold tolerant than others. And I guess this can be explained by the fact that they come from so many different climates.
I'll post Tatiana when she does her thing. I'll bet she would make some pretty babies.
LOL Kay. To funny. You have the brug bug bad! I haven't really even started my seeds. I have a tray going of a pod that was immature, so I had to plant them. I am getting some real special seeds this week from a friend that I will put up when I get them. I am still drowning in seedlings from last year that I never moved up from a gallon can!
I am trying to back off a bit from brugs. So which brugs took the cold and kept on ticking?
Yeah, I'm trying to back off, too. 'Not having much luck. LOL
When I mentioned to DH today that I might need another greenhouse, he told me that the only problem with that was that if I got another one, then I would need another one, and then another one. There is some truth to that.
I never moved the brugs that are in the garage full of buds out of 3-gallon containers. They sure do require a lot of water that way, but they take up much less space and much less soil. (And I had to pick them each up off the ground about 14 times a day all summer long.) At least they are light enough to move around easily. I'm thinking that next year they are all going in the ground.
I always thought that if I ever got a double pink I would stop and get rid of all brugs except that one. Now they are everywhere, and I still want more. Now I want a really good double orange. HG bloom for me, but nobody else likes it. I love it.
The ones that are blooming right now in the ground are Hawaiian Double White, Shredded White, Mountain Magic, Maya, Taylor Dawn, Monster Brug, Dr. S is full of buds and Aurea Pink is full of buds.
If only I had such room! LOL. I still am looking for the single pink of my dreams. I see parts of her here and there but not the complete package yet. I love the DPs but I still love the single pinks too!
Kell you mean to say that Red is not the pink of your dreams????!!!!!!
Gosh no. LOL. I have very specific characteristics I find so pleasing to my eyes!! And I have yet to see tham all together in 1 brug. But I sure am doing my part to try to make one. LOL Maybe you will make her for me Donna in your new yard!!
Congrats on your new double pink, Kay! Yay! And, you've picked out a wonderful interesting name! I'm going to send you a cutting of 'Duchess' in the spring after I root her for you, and hopefully (fingers crossed), she will be the double orange in your garden:-)
kay, more photos pretty pretty please?
=) thanks.
She's changing colors! In just a little over a day she has gone from pink to peach to almost orange in some places! This flower is getting old....7 days. This might be the reason for the changes. In the spring I don't think the flowers will last this long.
Tell me what y'all think.
Don't know why, but I can't post more than one picture at a time. Here's another one:
Very pretty, Kay.
Kay- Thank you so much for growing out these seeds! You've done a fantastic job. It's turning out to be very pretty. Can't wait to see the summer color.
I'm so excited to know that plants almost all of us have can create a double with color... Very cool. Again, many thanks- Kristi
Hi ,
Congratulations !! but you really made me laugh..not at YOU but with you especially the freezer,dryer,wqashing machine bit :-)
LOL! Kell! I'm EVERYWHERE! The greenhouse is stuffed, there are about 20 brugs in the garage, the back porch closet is stuffed with assorted tropicals, the front bedroom is full of eppies, there are newly planted brug seeds and log cuttings on my freezer, my dryer, and my washing machine, the perimeter of the breakfast room floor is lined with bubblers full of various cuttings, along with a huge ginger plant.
wow, it's brug invasion! lol.
kay, still gorgeous. it looks really LOOOONG, too. love BIG.
Brigitte, I am going to read your post to my DH and show him he is so lucky!!
You are so right, Krsiti. Brugs most of us have made this incredible brug. I think it is a true beauty!!! Depending on what you add to it now, you can have pink or orange I bet!! You go girls!!
Beautiful, Kay!
Kay, t's gorgeous.....simply gorgeous! Okay now I'm really jealous!
:) Donna
