Thought you'd like to see the first flower on my Frosty Pink brugmansia. I planted the seed last August.

Confused here, these were seeds from a B. Frosty Pink mom???? If so then you have a new hybrid not a B. Frosty Pink!! So if this is so, what ya going to name your new baby?? Remember you need to test it for a year to name it.

I missed the word "cross" after Frosty Pink.

As we don't know who the father is I would like to call it B'stard, but I can't name it without knowing who the father is so it is simply "Frosty Pink cross".

Gruntfuttock, the word you need is 'open pollinated.' So when you go to register her that is what I would use if you have no ideas. She is beautiful, you have a keeper and that name sure doesn't fit her.

Is it my place to register it? Maynardmarie sent me some seeds in 2005 and this is one of them. She told me at the time that although she didn't know the father it would be from a good source. ( I spoke to her this morning and showed her the pictures).

That being the case it seems appropriate that I should call it Gina if that name hasn't already been taken.

Either that or name it "The Milkman Did It". Oh, but that's long...

I've just looked through the ABADS registration application form. Looks like it'll take me most of September to fill it out.

G, are you a member?? How long has it been tested??

Gruntfuttock · Post by **Gruntfuttock** » Aug 08, 2007 11:13 am

1. Being a member isn't a prequisite of registration.

2. The September comment was a joke referring to the fact that I will be out of work after the redundancy at the end of August.

I saw Nikkal's name there, that's a blast from the past.

My mind is in the gutter (again

) When I saw the title of this post, well, let your mind wander. Then I saw Nathalies response and almost spit my tea all over my puter

I better go back to work.....

Looks like a much-improved version of 'Frosty Pink'! Wonder how it is doing now?

(Some) Brugmansia people will disagree, but all rights to a plant go to whomever first bloomed it in his garden.

Gruntfuttock, I am sure, is innocent.

Now how could I get one of those seeds?

Gruntfuttock · Post by **Gruntfuttock** » Oct 07, 2007 2:53 pm

If I had any seeds left I'd send you some.

Your wish is my command and here it is today.
