Here is the first bloom on a NOID that I got for 25 cents. It has the most beautiful bloom. Who said you had to have a name and cost a lot to be pretty?
So pretty
That is beautiful makshi, What a bargin! The colors remind me of an orchid and also a pansy. Very pretty.
amazing!!!!! wow aren't you glad you got it : ) what a great deal.
kelly
Thanks. I love the color but am not quite sure what to call it.
We should have another contest. Awhile back, I think it was MsC had a contest to name a baby canary. It was about Christmas Time. Someone with FC might be able to help you id it.
That is beautiful! I cannot believe that it's not a named AV, when Allison looks at it I think she may be of some help. It is just beautiful.
i hope allison will be able to help you id this one as i would love to know who it is. it is so pretty! it is too pretty not to have a name : )
kelly
Thanks april. It is so pretty I really can't believe the color of the bloom. What would you all call the color? Burgandy and light pink???
Yes I think so, it's a wonderful combination!
It's beautiful ! I've never seen such beauty . But with 30 thousand plus named Av's I've only seen a few.
Nice buy Diane!
Wow...that flower is stunning!

It reminds me of an Iris, the way its color is patterned. Very beautiful!
Yes, when I first saw the picture, i thought it was an iris.
It is stunning!
Yes, I really love the flower on this one.
Wow. Dear me.
Shes' a beauty!
I really love the flower
makshi,
That's a real beauty!
I have tons of registered AV's now, but still have to go look at all the NOIDS.I even bring them home... I have no willpower when it comes to AV's.

The only thing stronger than my willpower is the bugdet.
LOL, the only thing stronger than my will power is a PLACE to put them!
Our new house is 1/2 the size of the old one...no room on the shelfs or anywhere else .
MsC:)
Love that NOID!!!! Beautiful. That's my kind if deal!
I broke a leaf off of her yesterday moving her around. I go catatonic when I break a leaf. I grabbed it up and ran for a cup. Well, ran no really it was more like waddled real fast. :)
Makshi, I know just what you mean! I can come up with a little cup of potting mix for a broken leaf faster than I can find a band-aid when I cut myself!
That is a wonderful bloom!! You need to give it an unofficial name... I must be hungry, because I'm thinking "Blackberries & Cream" when I look at the pic!
How about Blackberry Parfait?
This is so beautiful! If you ever have a leaf to spare, please keep me in mind :)
Janis
ohhhh yall are coming up with yummy names! what about blackberry cobbler : ) or blackberry summer
kelly
Well, I love all of the names. I guess I will have to put all of them in a bowl and drawn one.
great idea!!!!! let us know the winning name : )
kelly
Aren't blackberries black?LOL Is there something that is more in the line of burgandy? Come on if I pick your name I will send you a leaf if you want it.
Blackberry juice, jam, ice cream, etc are all that wonderful deep purple color in your photo. You could go with Boysenberry Parfait or Mulberry parfait, but I think those are just slightly pinker tones... of course, color description is so subjective!
Here's a photo of some blackberries ripening in my patch... Like Concord grapes, they look darker on the outside than the color of their juice. I promise my tongue did not turn black when eating them. :-)
what about diane's burgundy beauty
kelly
Growing up in California- where we love our Bosenberrys- thanks to Knox Berry Farm- I have to say it's more like Boysenberry and the 2 tone makes me think of cobbler or lace or fluff or merrangue (sp) Bosenberry Merrangue- that's my suggestion.
April
I like Nanna's choice of "Parfait" to describe the bitone coloration! Besides, to quote one of my favorite movies, "everybody likes a nice parfait!" (but.. Shrek... not everybody likes onions...)
I know this thread is making me hungry for something with berries.

Red wine is burgundy-colored. How about Berry Wine?
Critter, Parfait is good! My choice would be Bosenberry Parfait- but then I am partial to bosenberrys!
There's only one registered AV with "Boysenberry" in the name ('Buckeye Boysenberry'), as opposed to 9 with "Berry," 6 with "Mulberry," and 4 with "Blackberry." Six registered AVs have "Parfait" in the name, but none are any kind of berry... so my vote is with April's suggestion, LOL!
Makshi, I hope you realize we're just having silly fun with all of this... you should call your noid by whatever informal name you like! It's a beauty!
Jill is right, here we are telling mom what to name her baby!
I love all the input. She may get a name soon. Just thought I would let you all know that I named the venus fly trap Sadie. She seems to like it.
I didn't read the whole thread. Did anyone ID it. Reminds me of Optimara "Rita" I have a couple of them.
