Seedlings blooming!

17 years ago

Two of my 7 month old seedlings are blooming. They started last night. It was a very exciting night for me, these are my first seedling blooms! They are both crosses by C.Mayer.

Here is 'Inspiration' X 'Earth Angel'


Last night;

This morning;

{{gwi:545748}} {{gwi:545750}} {{gwi:545751}} {{gwi:545752}}

{{gwi:545753}} {{gwi:545754}} {{gwi:545755}} {{gwi:545756}}

{{gwi:545759}}

Last night she didnt have much of a scent, it was there, but I had get up on the ladder, and stick my nose practically right in the flower to smell it. Baby powder scent.

I can't explain her color..some yellow, pink, kinda like a light mauve, but thats not exactly it either. I need the color chart! lol!

We'll see what happens tonight.

The buds were so fat, I was hoping for a double, but...lol.

I know the blooms on her may change alot, and most likely will..but I HAD to share!!! My first ever seedling blooms!

This is my other seedling that bloomed last night, another C.Mayer cross. Not 'Estella' X ?

It started last night, decent number of buds for her first bloom..but only one opened, and it wasnt even fully opened..still that way this morn.

This one opened up yellow, and changed to white..still had some slight yellow in it last time I was out, but..I dont see anything special about this one except the fragrance! OMG, its got that lemon smell..and O it is sooooo strong!

We'll see how they do tonight..hopefully they will all open, and more fully than the first.

{{gwi:545764}} {{gwi:545765}} {{gwi:545766}} {{gwi:545767}} {{gwi:545768}}

Both have quite a few more buds on them..hopefully we wont get some freak early frost. I'd have to put a hit order out on ma nature. lol.

All the pix are in chronological order from last night to this morning.

    Daniella I'm so proud of you for your first blooms ! Good job. There are very few people that can actually do what you did. So many start the seeds, but can never take them to flower... give yourself a pat on the back !

    Congrats. I wonder what's going to happen to the color of the first bloom, maybe a pink/peach?

    Daniella amazing!! I have never grown a brug from seed and I never seem to get blooms from my cuttings until the end of summer, actually fall, or year 2. Our zones are about the same I am just across the river from Trenton. I don't think I fertilize them enough. You are really quite and amazing gardener congrats!!!

    Thank you everyone :)
    I hope its not just beginner's luck, lol. This is my first year with seedlings, and I am just still soooo excited over this. I must have been out to look at these two about 50 times already this morning! LOL!
    Looking at the other seedlings to, hoping they will pop soon!

    Thanks Edna :)

    I see that the blooms on the ones in the first set of pix, the IxEA..the blooms that should be opening tonight are already getting that pinky/mauve color to them..its almost dare I say..a shade of lilac? it has that really light mauve/lilac look. I WISH I could get this camera to show the true color!!!!

    The open bloom on the second seedling/second set of pics, still has some light yellow to it, and the veining in the bloom is yellow.

    Sianna, can I ask, are you from PA originally?

    Karyn, I dont know whats going to happen, but I cant wait to find out!!! lol

    My dear El, thank you! :)
    thank you everyone!! I am on cloud 9, lol!
    I'm gonna have to look that up..why is it cloud 9? why not cloud 7? Does anyone know whats up with that saying?

    Oh, Daniella, ya did it!! There is nothing like this thrill, is there? Your enthusiasm is great to see!

    Mauve, that is the color that my Inspiration is, thanks for that input. Your seedling definitely has a lavendar cast to it, so it takes after mom for color. How exciting; you're gonna be out there dabbing pollen on it before you know it.

    The second seedling sure has the twangers going. I'm partial to twirling twangers! LOL! It will be fun to see how these seedlings do for you if they have another flush before frost and how they do next year. Good luck on more, more, more, of your seedlings blooming. Don't know if we can take the excitement ....... but we'll try! ;-)

    Thanks Kylie :)

    I just had the 10 yr old outside with me, and she was evaluating the seedlings, and Cypress Gardens. She says she prefers the white with yellow veining seedling over CG. She says it smells way better, looks better, and the corolla is super fuzzy..we like that!!
    She looked at the IxEA, and said 'thats weird!' LOL! She said it reminds her of a star, not a typical star, but a star like a ball..whatever that means, lol.

    It was great to see her out there so interested in the seedlings, and the way she was talking while comparing CG & the Not'E'x? seedling...it was awesome, the way she was describing things...I think I have a future partner in brugs here!!!

    Brenda, thank you! :) It sure is exciting!!!
    I like them thar twirlin twangers too! lol! I have 4 blooms on that one right now, one more ready to open, and lots more buds!
    On the IxEA I have 6 open, and lots more buds..seems like it is a little more peachy now..hmmm..but it still has a bit of that light mauve/lilac color to it, more noticeable in the folds.

    I am uploading more pics from tonight into PB right now..

    Daniella,
    I'm from Connecticut originally then NY,NJ now Pa.

    Thanks Lucy! I am, and it IS! :)

    Sianna..I asked because if Sianna is your real name? Thats just not too common of a name, I think, lol.. I went to high school with a girl with the same name, I know its ridiculous, and a total shot in the dark, lol..but I was just wondering cuz PA is so close to Jersey. I know its crazy, you're prob not the same girl, lol.

    Ok anyway, lol..X5C IxEA is driving me insane..since this afternoon she has had that lilac color back to her! More so when you look at her head on, and you can see it in her recurve. Am I crazy? Check out these pix..I didnt use flash cuz I wanted to try and get the true color..

    {{gwi:545785}} {{gwi:545786}} {{gwi:545787}}

    {{gwi:545788}} {{gwi:545789}}

    She's driving me insane! I cant wait to see what subsequent blooms will look like!
