First Belle

17 years ago

Well, 1st Belle is the belle of my garden right now. The bloom holds up really well and is a 6-pointer. Another great thing is her color and her wonderful scent. She is bi-color, and is similiar in coloring to Georgia Peach, just much more intense!!

Thanks to Mike again for sharing a heart-throb brug with me!!

    Brenda, you really have a lot going on in your yard right now! I have this one from Mike too, I can't wait to see it bloom now, but it won't be this year. Looks nice and waxy.

    Brenda,,count again..that IS a 7 pointer..was the first thing I noticed! I always count. I counted 3 times.
    She's a beauty!

  • 17 years ago

    Daniella, oops, I can't count- you're right. Sorry, Barb, you're right too. She is sure nice and full, with all those points! I'll see if she holds that pattern on the next several blossoms.

    Kylie, yes, the rise before the Fall!! Ouch, that was bad! My brugs are gorgeous! And I'm getting seedpods- working with 7 mommies, and a whole bunch of daddys!! LOL!

    Way to go Brenda. Love the color and the shine of it.

    ha ha ha glad I came into this thread later on. AFTER you Brenda saw the 7th point too lol. I was ready to do another cup of coffee rofl.

    It is however funny how we often do not see things until we take a closer look at a picture, which the plain eye sometimes does not catch or in that case with all that curling and pointers...hard to count.

    Besides one more point Brenda...it is a GORGEOUS Belle!!!

    Thought my brother spiked my coffee and was seeing doubles lol.. Congrats Brenda! I am so jello only seen 6 points this summer it was huge..I cant imagine 7 you are a lucky girl..:)

  • 17 years ago

    Mike shared this with me last Fall, and I had no idea he was sharing such a beauty. Nothing like seeing it in person!
    The next bud will open tomorrow or Thursday, then we'll see if this is Belle's habit to produce 7-pointers! Sure hope so. I have used her pollen on nearly all my mommy plants!
    Thanks, Lucy and Pat!

  • 17 years ago

    Okey, I checked two more blossoms tonight, and one has 6 points and one............has 5!!!

  • 17 years ago

    Cool! That is a beauty, Brenda!

    Brenda it's beautiful, and as you said 'it has the full brug experience"... NICE

  • 17 years ago

    lol Brenda, she can't make up her mind!! Regardless of how many points, she is stunning.

    I have a NOID that throws alot of 6 pointers, occasionally a 7 pointer. Even with the extra points all blooms seem to be the same size, are you finding that with this one, or are the blooms with more points larger than the others?

    I hope you didnt think I was coming off kinda nasty..I can see how my previous post could be taken that way..I didnt mean it that way at all. I was just happy for you and excited, lol..kinda like..'look Ma, look! a unicorn! No, it reeeeally is a unicorn!!!' LOL. I think you know what I mean. :P
    Geez, can you tell I spend 24/7 surrounded by kids, lmao.
    I need to go to bed..

    O I forgot to ask about her scent?? how is it?
