Something bright to cheer the day

It really has been lashing it down here but in the gloom the Red Sanguine x Arbovulsa is beginning to flower.

They haven't quite opened yet, but the colour is so vivid

Goff's Girl.

Here is Goff's Girl named for my my Mum Sue, of which she is very proud of.

It is one of those Brugs that changes shape and colour depending on the conditions, and even though the weather is not so good  at the moment, she looks perfect.



Joan's Surprise

Despite the grey and gloom of the weather, Joan's Surprise is a beacon of sunshine that lifts the spirits. Despite being a relatively small plant around just over a foot tall she has produced loads of buds, and despite a few blowing off in the wind, we have 4 blooms currently.

  
Its parentage is from Dola Goldentrumpete, a double mixed with my single plant called Buddy, The result is a strong marzipan scent, and is named for my good friend Terry's Mum.
Hopefully she loves this. We do!

M.E.W again..on a rain lashed day

Despite the lashing monsoon like rain , M.E.W has flared open more and shown its Father's genes of El Dorado in its shape.





Did I say it smells amazing ??  It smell amazing !

M.E.W

It feels like ages waiting and watching plants grow and buds form.
Now we are starting to see blooms, and this one is my favourite aurea hybrid from my friend Dan Carter, M.E.W.

I'll be posting more than a few pics of this one
