First blooms - new tropical hybrid

[louis]

Hi everyone,
I mentioned early in the season how the deer had destroyed most of my new hybrids. This one was pulled from the pot in early june and all the pads, roots and stems were eaten. i hate bambi  

it has taken 2 1/2 months to recover and it gave me three blooms at one time. it is a cross between moonbeam and golden west. west being the pod parent. pads are plain green.  i apologize for the ratty pads, i just have not had any time to work on the ponds this year.  i did not get a close up, cam battery went dead. i will take one in a short time as soon as the blooms stabilize.

Very pretty bloom. I look forward to seeing the close -ups. I like the petal shape. Nice colour as well. Sorry about your Bambi attack. My dad lost his beloved veggie garden to them this year.

Hi Lou:

 I feel your pain with the deer!!!!  Occassionally I have an attack on my sacraficial lilies (I now put unnamed lilies in my ceramic pots), but since I've been using the trellis/bird netting they have not been able to get to my main lily ponds.

The hybrid looks interesting and I will look forward to seeing a close up.  Too bad you've been too busy, I really enjoy seeing your photos!!

That's a really nice pastel.
