MM as dark as ever

Even though we are entering our winter months brugs like MM, serendipity and EP are still blooming in very dark shades of pink. It's really weird because i know last year at this time my blooms were pale, muted shades of pink. We have had a couple of cold fronts move through but it's warmed up again quite a bit . I think this weather trend is being experienced across the U.S.
I'm not sure exactly why they are blooming so dark but I'll take it any day!!

Gorgeous!!!

I would take dark, light, very dark, or very light right now. Thanks for posting, helping me get through these winter months.

Beautiful color on your MM. I'm like Jim. Any size, shape, or color would be wonderful right now. We have gone from a high of 64 yesterday to being in a winter weather advisory for tonight. The birds and squirrels are really hitting the feeders now. Your pictures are always nice, Gary. Thanks for sharing them.

Beautiful !! Mine didn't get that dark out in the yard.

I would like to have any brug blooming now.

MM seems to be on a lot of peoples favorite list. Another one that is on my list is Painted Lady. I have some blooms dropping skirts right now. I'll post pictures to show everyone just what a beauty she is!

well...a red.. I've always thought there would be a red real soon...is there a bit of MM about somewhere... I'll send a heat pack for it's shipping.. and whatever else is desired..... Gordon

Gordon MM is like any other brug. The color varies with the climatic environments. It just so happens that all the planets are aligned correctly here. The weather has alternated from chilly to downright hot during the the time that the bud was in formation. There are many factors involved in the resulting color of a brug. Factors such as temp, humidity, even soil PH can play a factor in the resulting color. For most people MM is usually a shade of pink. Somewhat darker pink during the warmer months. Don't get too excited. This is more of a fluke than anything else. This shade of red is something i don't think many people have seen before.
I sure hope that i see it again sometime soon!
