What causes this

And will it go away??
This is the first bloom on IG x PL by Liz. The split between the tenderals is what Im talking about.

Caren, what a pretty color! I do not know if they have an official name. The Preissel book just calls them heart shaped indentations. I have them on a few brugs including Arborea and they stay present.

Maybe someone else has a name.

Wow ! That is pretty ;0)

I had that on a first flower of a new seedling this year. The partial separation of the petals like that became much much less marked in subsequent flowers. But equally it may just stay like that as Kell says. I think it looks good!

it might be to cold there for it mmm you may need to send it to florida lol

Hi Caren!

She looks good! I'm thinking that her PL genes might gradually darken her up a bit. She's lovely! Good job! Thank you!

Here are some pics in the day light. The color is much deeper melon than my camera will pick up. I know it wont win any awards for shape but the color is really pretty!

Here is another one of Liz's babys. Tangerine x L'amour. I love the shape but no sign of color yet :(

My Oange Sunshine did that the first it bloomed but on the first big flush it did not do it any more.

Thanks Joan! That is what I’m hoping for. It has more blooms coming but when I brought her inside she dropped most of them. Maybe in spring she will fix herself I dought I will see any more blooms this winter.

Tangerine is a little oddball Brug I picked up on eBay. It turned out to be a little charmer: small flower, waxy as all get out, medium orange (tangerine). Best of luck with her babies!

I was wondering why I couldnt find anything on her. Do you have any pics?
Its starting to get some color but I can't tell what yet. For a guess I would say brown lol!

Here she is.

And another...

Thank you Liz!
