    Me too, but I can't help thinking I am going to be disappointed and they come out white.

    :D I have enjoyed the leaves very much, I just hope the flowers get a chance before the really cold weather. It is supposed to be fairly mild this week [​IMG]

    Mentioning the leaves, I did notice that the white one I gave away had large, fuzzier leaves than this pink one.

    Dashing between the showers, I don't think yours will be pink, Babe, because look at my buds (Brug buds, that is :eek: ). All of mine are more advanced, but are yellowish.

    :D Nice buds !

    Yes I see what you mean, I was thinking white as I normally associate emerging green with white flowers, like the zantadeschia ?

    BTW Film, House of Flying Daggers was very good. ;)

    Looking back, Babe, if you're going to be mild the rest of the week you could perhaps have them open. They always seem to take a long time to open to me and sadly, here at least, only last a couple of days. :(

    Don't know it but probably my sort of thing. :rolleyes: We did watch a couple of odd ones ourselves but with the rain we've lost the Zone Thriller and Horror channels but Romantica is okay. :eek:

    Could still go either way b m the true colour only shows 2 days after the flower opens, the bud on the left of this shot was green when it was opening, don't be dissapointed if it's white there's some beautiful whites out there they still have the gorgeous scent

    Love the yellow roders ! [​IMG] Really hope it stays yellow, just the colour I need right now back dropped against the bananas.

    We are due a few days of 18's and 19's with sunshine, so I have fed them lots of liquid chicken manure in anticipation :D
