Tasmanians are just sleepless with the long summer twilight!

Do you remember the cross? Interesting and great.

cool! kind of a 'dashed tango'

Wow! And wow to the pic!

I do know what you mean about being in a hurry taking pictures though, Anthony, and hard to get them just right. When my sibs flower I take about 100 pictures a day, and try to get them on the computer, and sort out the good ones, and catalogue them. And then when people ask why I don't take pictures of my whole gardens I scream. But they can't hear me because I'm here, and they're there, LOL.

I have woken, 'The sleeping Grapus'-what a brilliant bloom!!! It was 1c orange x orange tango...sent about the same time as 'Schenk's Red' seeds ,[they shared the same poly box...............Yes ,Della, The summer twilight-while hanging on to something stable [or get blown away].,,.,

We're having a blizzard ~ that should make you feel better.

Anthony; both crosses are done by John Lykkegaard. All my best tango seedlings are from his crosses.

Gosh... so much to learn. WHO crosses WHAT !
Or... WHO crosses WHO?
:)

Moby, that looks like something going on right now in the S, SE of Romania.
Roads blocked, cars pulled over, people not being able to get home... every year the same story.
News for the NEWS and no-one learning any lesson.
When it's winter, stay home!

I have others hidden away here-- Just have to find some time and space to find them .,.Oystein!!!-..The other great thing is I have something here to remember John by---Anthony..I will re-mark that pot tomorrow,.,.

A picotee-seed raised, 'Ray Mc namara' cross

Lovely,

Now you grow these to show, and to sell, Anthony?

That one is staying here!-but hopefully a lot of my commercial ones will walk out the gate today

Best of luck.

Seed Trumpet , sent to me by 'Grapus'-looks good!

Do you know the cross? Not sure if it's my own cross or a Lykkegaard cross.

That is a lovely, soft yellow.

Oystein, just marked as 'German trumpet cross'-smells much better today!................I think that the Wh trumpet x Rosthorni,that have just bloomed, has been heavily influenced by 'Regale- a big Regale type trumpet, with a 3/4 throat of yellow....still very nice

White trumpet x L. rosthornii ....

That's the one I want to see, please

I'll charge up my batteries and wait a few hrs for some more to open

I have some more seeds from that cross, maybe I'll sow them next year. That cross was done by John Lykkegaard. In 2011 I had some seedlings from that cross blooming, nice flowers. But last summer most of them where gone. The voles had eaten them all I think. But I'm going to use white trumpets the next years and do some similar crosses. This year I got seeds from L. sulphureum and L. sargentiae. They will be pollinated with pollen from hybrids from Anton Mego and Charles Kroell. That could be interesting!!!
