Not too shabby!!

Actually, what a pretty last blossom of the season and a nice early Christmas present!

Okey, having mercy on those with dial-up but I'm tired of photobucket mis-behaving!

She still has good color for it being so cool!

Love Mz. Scarlett...
My last bloom dropped a few days ago (Adeline)and I just lost a pod.. I may be able to salvage a couple of seeds ..maybe...
Nice to see ya here!

Hey there...

What do you mean by:

Pink Perfektion

this is one for Northerners,.......... or Floridians, to grow in the winter months

----those are two different zones? i am wondering, cause I am rooting a cutting and I have never grown this one before. I see you you live in N E Georgia--zone 7b. I live in zone 9--off the Texas coast.

Any helpful growing tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

That PP looks pretty good. Mine is a disaster and the color is light in the winter just like all my other pinks lol. Your Miz Scarlet is beautiful.

MJ..I think she just means that PP is better for cooler enviornments (growing in the North in general or during the cooler months in the south where people grow year around).

'Pink Perfektion' is a HOT PINK here in Arkansas! :)) Give her another year & she'll amaze you with her color!

all I can say is..WOW!! Brenda, I can't enlarge the pix..I can't read the ruler! How long is she?
I need to get myself a Pink Perf next year. that color is amazing Mike!

Not this plant's fault but of the the three blossoms that did bloom, none looked good. This is the last blossom, pictured, and the 'petals' never did widen out to normal dimensions. And then they flipped up at the ends! LOL! And the first two blossoms split their calyx and started emerging out the split side!! Looked real funny!

Mike, sorry the color on PP is not accurate, with the flash and it is not a clear photo. She is an intense pink, like no other! I dusted her with pollen last night- who knows????

Okey, I have posted PP, the seedling Miz Scarlett, Culebra, and now, Shooting Star. Can we say there is some Inca Sun in there somewhere? Sure looks like it!!! She even has blossoms on the main stalk- looks funny- and basically she does not bloom only on new growth, but anywhere. She has about 20 blossoms- I recommend this one as a keeper. Large explosions of flushes and the fragrance is one of the best!! She is a little more orange in November, inside.

I got her last Spring from Seed Sprout Nursery! She is a cheerful, perky, happy brug! Even with all her leaves gone!

WOW...I love them all. ha ha. I like how Pink Perfektion has such a nicely defined double skirt and such a deep beautiful pink.

AND...Shooting Star is so pretty. Does that one bloom fairly regular for you?

That picture you have of Miz Scarlett is breath taking. Beautiful photography!

Pink Perfektion and your Shooting Star look amazing and their colors are so rich.LOL

I think I am in love with Shooting Star!! ..need to wipe the drool off the kbrd! lol Beautiful!!

They are all beautiful! I am especially fond of PP and Miz Scarlett! Thanks for sharing them!

Brenda they are pretty.......I cant wait for pink perfection spelling I cant spell this one LOL

Just beautiful Brenda! Love all of them. What is the "shredded" one that you posted? I got two cuttings of Shooting Star from ebay and they are now planted in soil. Come warmer weather, I will plant one in the ground and keep the other in a pot and see how they do. Mike, your PP is so beautiful! Kylie, you are good. I went back to read Brenda's post and I couldn't find where she listed Miz Scarlet!

Sorry, I cheated and just put different headings for the different brugs in one thread!!! So, look to the headings, El!!!

The funky looking, shredded one is Culebra. Not the way its supposed to look. Here is Culebra photo from June:

I'm really happy with Miz Scarlett and sure hope she holds the seedpod that I got from her crossing to Joli!! It is getting bigger and bigger. Also, lost all but one of my Shooting Star seedpods- the one left is crossed to Lucero!
