this is Creamsickle x Rosamond by Kristi Larsen. Can't say that it is very pretty but is has been open for 7 days now and is almost as long as my arm. It was all white until Monday when it began to get a hint of orange.
Look at the length of this bloom
Gosh, what an itty bitty calyx. Will be so interesting it see it next summer. Very diifferent.
Wow Donna that sure is long. It would make quite a conversation piece in the garden.
hope the flower is prettier next year or it will be toast lol. Have another flower pods that will open in a few days if it doesn't get blown off tomorrow in the storms we are expecting. Moved Tatiana, Adeline, & Day Dreams that are in pots inside since they all have flower pods.
I wonder what the seed pod would look like on this one, Donna. It could be foot or even longer. A real long, real skinny thing. That would be cool.
Sure is long and thin. Maybe you could call it Twiggy for short.
LOL Twiggy for sure!
"Twiggy" cute, brugie!!!
I rather like it, looks like a model LOL
I like it too - love those very extended doubles: wonder what the plant will look like with a flush of them??
Cooooooooooooooool!
Holy Moly! At first, I thought it was Kin playin with Photo shop pictures! LOL
Edited to add.. I really like it. I think it's cool..

So Donna you better think twice about toasting it LOL some of us like the "odd' but nice.
I believeit is improper to ask for cuttings from a grower.. so if you don't want me to break the rules please have mercy on this brug! LOL
it has another year to grow before deciding so don't worry
It is very different, I like it.
I like it too!!! Mainly because I think outside the box. If you toss it for what ever reason I want a piece of it. Did someone say it was improper to ask? It does look like a model figure! LOL!

So was this one left outside? Is it drowning? Poor Donna's yard got flooded. It is so under water. Please say a prayer for all her new plantings.
Donna, you better save this one for so many pople love it!
no thank goodness. It is around back in the needling nursery. None of my brug are in water but got close to one of them
I like her Donna, the little double is perfect and, wow, 7 days is good, even in cooler weather. For the first time, I had LOTZ of deformed buds this year and several 'odd' blossoms, on two year, and older brugs that bloomed normally previously - is it possible that her blossom suffered from the heat/drought & ended up like that?? That teeny, tiny calyx is something, it looks extra small, I hope you get more blooms!!
I think it's pretty.. very elegant. Did you measure? I'm trying to imagine; an arm being as long as an arm from wrist to shoulder... that would be l o n g! Or is it elbow to end of fingers? Very lovely. And 7 days, unthinkable!
I measured it today. It is 18" long and the 11th day for the same bloom and only bloom so far
May I just say "I can't wait for an 18" bloom". Ok, so I said it, just not sure if I will ever get one. Congratulations.

I like it too, Donna! Very unique!

I think it is very cool looking, Donna.
