The Tatiana and Dorthea thread that Kristi started reminded me of another set of pod siblings. Here is 'Adeline'.

Pod Sisters
Adeline's sister.
Breathtaking.
Adeline is Soooooo perfect!!!!!
Jim I am sure I will have one for you by the fall trade.
Oh so pretty! Have they bloomed for you this year yet Delisa? Have you given these two names?
Brugnanny the first one is 'Adeline' that is a recent photo. The second photo I just took a few days ago. I dont let my brugs in pots go dormant in the winter so they will bloom early for pollinating.
The second, Adelines sister, will probably never have a name. She throws some deformed blooms and I think her pod parent may have already tossed the original seedling.
Oh Delisa, they are lovely sisters!
Delisa, you just made my day.
Here's the Crinum you gave me last year.
Oh Delisa, both are just stunning. So are you saying they are pods sister's of Tatiana and Dorthea?
Poor Adelines's sister.
I would take one drformed or not. just throw it my way delisa
Elva
Kell, No they are not. Thanks for clearing that up if I was unclear. Like Tatiana and Dorthea these are pod sisters. Tatiana and Dorthea are Rubiline crosses. These (Adeline and sister) are Pink Lady X Charleston pod sisters.

beautiful to drool for.. great picture.
Oh Delisa how pretty. Glad to see a pic of her
Adeline is beautiful. That must have been a real kick when you saw the first bloom. Hard to believe that ugly brown seed can turn into something like that after you add a lot of sweat and fertilizer.
Delisa, Adeline is beautiful.
Jim you have all the luck, or it your personality?
Love ya
Ruth
Mary this was the first bloom. You can hardly tell its the same plant.
That is possibly one of the most stunningly gorgeous blooms I have ever seen!
"It just goes to show you with Maturity comes Beauty."
Ah, Kin .... are you talking about us ladies over 40? LOL
Delisa, these are all Gorgeous!
LOL Kin, you are so smooth.
I agree indiana_lily. I think she is just gorgeous. Is she from your own cross, Delisa?
That first bloom pic is just HUGE!!!
Just beautiful Delisa!!!!
No Kell, but I would love to have Charleston! These are Ludger Schneiders brugs that I grew from seed. I was only lucky to get the seed. I grew out Adeline and Brugmania grew out Adelines sister. One point I would like to point out is that the pollen donor to these plants was the double. From what I have seen the pollen donor is just as likely to produce a double as the pod parent being the double.
Just beautiful!!! Thanks for posting them.
Wow Delisa !! They are both simply gorgeous.
Delisa, Adeline is just beautiful. Wow, are you lucky with those pink doubles.
Pretty blooms. We sure have a lot of nice double/triple pinks now.
Beautiful brug!!!
Judy
Oh Delisa, I had not known that. I had always heard use the double for the Mom if you want double babies. Good to know. THANKS
This must be a Ludger Weekend here with these great pink doubles of his and Kristi posting his incredible Tatiana (grown by Donna) and then there is the lovely Dorthea who I can't remember who grew her out for Ludger. Another beauty for sure.
Delisa, Adeline is stunning! I can't wait to see mine bloom :)
Trish! I just found something here growing that you are looking for. I will send on a box soon!
Dorthea's seedling parent was Pete Wilson. I am sure many of the members here know him. He is a member of a couple of Brugmansia sites and is super nice (so is his wife Dottie).
:-) ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh be still my heart as I think I know what it is!! Thanks!!!
Well shoot, you know I am so nosy. Now I want to know what you are getting Ms. Munché.
I do not think I know Pete, but what a great brug he has.
Adeline is stunning Delisa. I bet she will make a lovely parent herself.

Very pretty bloom.
Delisa, the first bloom on Adeline does look totally different than what it does now. I was wondering if the temps were different with the flushes. I know my Creamsickle does not drop the second skirt in hot weather but does in early spring and fall when it is cooler. It will be interesting for you to watch Adeline this summer and fall and see if there is any change in color. Contrary to others, I get my darkest colors in the fall.
