This is a Rothkirch X Balao seedling, it was hidden in my GH. I was moving stuff out & there she was in all her glory. It is pretty dark pink & smells very good. Not too over powering, but you don't have to get too close to smell her either. and.. look at those twangers!
It just tickles me to think it was hiding!
ww she is beautiful ..................James

Yummy! That is MY kind of surprise! Congrats!
really nice apricot pink (on my monitor anyways) - and i love those twirls - it's lovely.
Beautiful!!

She's SO lovely and those twangers are definitely a bonus! ;-)
Yes, Tonny, it is Balao pollen I would suspect being that it is the last name on the cross (Rk X Balao) Everything I have seen from these crosses seem to produce great seedlings.
Great to hear FBL is doing well, Mary. I have one of her cuttings potted up & almost in bloom.
Green Thumbs, It looked rose pink to me, but when I went to the GH this AM she has darkened up & does have a bit of an orange cast in there, It will be interesting when I get her out in the yard & she has her 2nd flush.
I'll be sure to get a pic of her 2nd blooming.
This seedling is a candida and has no suaveolens - influence at all. Balao is a versicolor, collected in Ecuador. I've send many seeds of this cross to the US and Canada.

I really do like those on a brug. Gives it a heavenly look I think!
It really is a beautiful color. I have always like the white and orange brugs, but I'm starting to take a fancy to those dark pinks, roses, reds, etc.
Very beautiful. and what a treat to find it. (Oh, how I would love a greenhouse.)
Monika, Thank you, by the way. They do look similar don't they. It did get darker, but wilted before I could get another pic of it. I have another plant of that same seed cross & the leaves are huge, no buds yet but the plant is WAY happy!
