Nice new ones. Is that Mauvelous the one hybridized by Bob Carran?.

Carlos

Thanks to everyone!

Carlos,
I think Mauvelous is Barry's as I think Bob Has Marvelous. A difference in spelling. But I will check and see to be sure.
Take Care,
Robert

I have a few blooms from the last week--most were from yesterday but there were a few from before that but I was slow getting them off the camera.

Here's Antique Treasure from last week

Heartbreak Hotel from last weekend

Allure from yesterday

Lost Treasure from yesterday (I'm not 100% positive it's Lost Treasure...I tried to follow the flower down the stem and to the pot which is where the label lives, and I think I got the right pot, but the flower doesn't look right so I may have found the wrong pot)

Black Dragon from yesterday

And my Valentine bloom, Antique Treasure. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, this is the closest to red I've ever seen it!

Mauvelous is indeed mine, a play on the mauve color in the name . .
Electrical Storm x Ring Leader. see attached.
Firehouse is very fine; unfortunately for Robert, Matt has rights to it! However, when Robert gets cranked up, you'll see that he has rights to sell lots of mine.

Attached is probably the prettiest Mauvelous I've ever captured on digital image.
cheers,
Barry

Robert & Barry, I asked that because I know Bob Carran has several seedlings with names like that: Mauvelous, S'Marvelous and Mauvelous Feast. Indeed, Mauvelous and S'Marvelous are registered

A pretty Firehouse, Barry. Which is the cross?

ecrane3, I think your Lost Treasure is well labelled, maybe with washed colors due to weather conditions.

Very nice Liz!!!
Barry I love the Pic and can't wait until mine shows this way. Blooms all of the time now.
Anyone ordering from Matt should definitely get Firehouse. You will NOT be dissappointed!!! It is truly beautiful!!!

Beautiful blooms, Liz! I like Antique Treasure the best :-)

Barry, that Mauvelous is stunning...

Liz, Heartbreak Hotel and Allure are stunning! That is definately a faded Lost Treasure, but as the blooms come more often, the colors will start to define themselves better :)
