Looks fantastic!

shive1 said: I just received confirmation that the seedling I have called "Big Pink" is now registered with the name I wanted: Bubblegum Queen.

(Zimmerman 2023) Deep rose to bubblegum pink petals with lighter watermark and white edge. The first blooms are 8 inches on 32 inch scapes. Later in the season and on rebloom, the flowers are 7+ inches. A semi-evergreen tet, this Early cultivar is a vigorous multiplier and a reliable rebloomer. Bubblegum Queen has an average of 18 buds, with a range of 14-21 buds, and three-way branching. It is a reluctant pod setter, but the pollen is extremely potent and almost always sets a pod. I have lots of exciting seedlings coming from this parent. (Dancing Flamingo X Bubblegum Delicious)

Bubblegum Queen looks like this when it first blooms and temps are cooler.

Here's a clump shot from last summer during a long stretch of temps around 100 degrees.

Thanks for the nice comments, Robin and Jason. It is really a wonder in a big clump.

Beautiful and inspiring, Debra! Congrats! And from one seed!

Makes me glad I got Dancing Flamingo last year, although it didn't bloom because it was sent late with a chopped-off scape. The size of your CVs clump shows you wasted no time using those genes and it speaks to robust increase and your good cultivation.

Justine - Dancing Flamingo has been a good parent for me. I have several other promising seedlings from it. Good luck hybridizing with yours this year! I consider myself pretty lucky to have gotten such a good seedling from that one seed. Other crosses gave much larger seed yields than that.

Thanks to the seven of you who gave me an acorn. That was so sweet of you!

Here's a photo that shows off the very green throat


Debra

It is beautiful!

So sorry to be late to this party, but this is a great photo, that green throat is marvelous. Congrats on what will probably be a big success for you, it is acorn worthy, for sure!

Avedon - That lime green throat is one of the features that makes Bubblegum Queen so special. Thanks for commenting on it!

Debra - I concur with everyone - Gorgeous blooms!

Exquisitely beautiful!!!

Thanks so much for the comments, Becky and Leslie!

Avedon - Thanks so much for the acorn!

Kudos Debra!
I love everything I've seen about your introduction. I appreciate a plant that can take the heat. It looks like it opens well also.

Hi Debra , Bubblegum Queen looks fantastic !
I especially love the color!
Too bad I live in Europe otherwise I would have ordered one from you....

Will and Ronny - Thanks so much for your comments.

3Will - It does open well - even when nights are cool!

Ronny - I don't sell outside the country now, but I may in the future.

Bubblegum Queen is selling well. I have one more available for Spring shipping.

Wish I was expanding my collection as Bubblegum Queen would be at the top of my list!

Anyone listening, my birthday is ... way off
