Myrna

This is another one of Delisas hybridizing treasures. Myrna is a Peanut x Rubirosa cross that I grew out. The standout characteristic on Myrna are her tendrils. The tendrils on that center bloom measure in at 3 1/2 inches long. When she bloomed earlier this year I took the initiative to hybridize her with something having tendrils of a comparable size, as well as being a much larger flower......you guessed it...I crosses her with Miss Emily Mackenzie! And yes I have a pod!! I will make every effort to grow out every seed from that pod. I have a good feeling about that cross.

Lovely for there Gary... best of luck with the seeds w/ MEM..
it looks as if Myrna has a hit of the Lilac in the pink... you should try a cross with some from the Lilac Project with her.. you should really keep it active..
if you need a home for some of the seeds.. you can have them back if they interest you.. or just check on them during your summer..

That is beautiful. My mom's best friend for years just died last week and her name was Myrna.

Exquisite, Gary!
I'm fond of Peanut, Pink Smitty and Sam. They're good seed parents whether mom or dad.
Sam is especially good for passing on his gene's for doubles and color.

You do have a gem there. Congratulations to both of you.

You are such a Wizard, making and growing out all those crosses and being successful, you are indeed a patient man. Love those Tendrils on Myrna and her color, my wish for you is the Pod produces more Beauties for you.

Considering all the wind and rain we have had over the last couple of weeks that those calyxes were developing I am surprised that they came thru....but genes will persevere!

Nice color

This is another tribute to the great work that the american hybridizers and seed growers are accomplishing!

That is one fantastic bloom!!!!!

Bless you brug pros for all the beautiful varieties!! Keep up the good work!!!! :-)

Wow. That is one beautiful bloom!

Gordon i think it's just the lighting. In real life she is just a beautiful dark pink.
