WOW!!! The color on those blooms looks so much darker and more vibrant. Is the color like the rose silks?...or a deeper color? What's the size of the blooms? They look bigger than the ones I had.

Great photo!!! Glad to know it's blooming for ya!

Blooms are about 2 1/4" at most. Probably the same or even smaller than what you have, :-). Really can't tell you if the color is like Rose Silk. During our last discussion with Emma, it was confirmed that there are many variations to Rose Silk and Chocolate Silk. Since I am not too good with subtle color differences, I can't tell. And my chocolate colored plant (I still have no idea what it is!) is so far away from this Chachamaru (to prevent cross pollination, just in case) that I never get to compare them side by side at the same time and with the same lighting. Don't think I'm going to try figuring out the differences in the color tone -- it will just give me a headache, :-).

By the way, how do you 'pick up' the color of the photo for your text ? It's quite a nice touch!

Well, I ahve a ton of chocolate colored MG's with different looks, but one bloomed the other day which is HUGE, and has the white rim all around, and is ruffeled. The prettiest thing you ever saw! Of course I'm marking it! :) Arum

How do I 'pick up' the color of the photo for my text? Huh???

Do you mean type in a different colored font? Or did I do something to a photo I posted? Am lost???

Yes, that is what I meant. If the flower you posted is brown, you 'picked up' that brown color for the text that you typed in. So how is that done ?

Arum, are all your Chocolate Colored MGs on the same plant or different plants ? Think everyone has been asking to see your photos. Do you have ANY that you can upload to this gallery ? You don't need a place to store the photos on the web, just need to upload from your computer to GW.

Ieo....I sent you email on it.

ieozok, I'm sad to say that I don't have a camera that can do that. My DH is working on it, but I'm not going to hold my breath. :)Anyway, the Chocolate MG's are on different plants. This special one might be Rose Silk, I don't know. Wow, I do have so many special ones. It is a shame I can't show them. :) Arum
