The leaf at the bottom covers the main stem so I can't see if it is grafted. Is it? All Black Cherry plants are grafted and some Bubble Gum Fun plants were. The bloom as it was this time doesn't seem like anything that we grow, so I am at a loss until more info comes along.

No, it's not grafted it's rooted in that spongey material. I guess I'll have to wait for another bloom to provide more info. Thanks for trying.

Hmm I don't think it's a Voodoo Magic... the leaves are similar but the bloom and the spent bloom both show too much pink for VM I think. If you got a Black Cherry GuamsOrbit you're lucky!

This is a real mystery, of course i have no idea what it is but if the color is true to the photo it looks very nice,a sort of salmon color. David.

So it looks like a maturity thing with Bubble Gum Fun. My stock plants bloom well, but I guess the 4 inch and 6 inch have to get some growth and age before they do, too.
Thanks for these inspiring photos, Nina.

This is the first decent bloom I've ever had on my problematic 4 1/2 year old BGF. The colors aren't as vivid as Nina's but at just under 7" it sure beats the few 4" flowers it had a couple of years ago. I don't know if it was the threat to send it to the compost pile or more likely moving it from the thin plastic very dark green pot to a much thicker plastic white pot that has made a difference. Maybe the roots were getting too hot. It finally seems to be a happier hib. This is a 2nd day photo.

This is a pretty version of Bubble Gum Fun. Finally, it's behaving itself. I hope more buds are on the way.

Thanks Uli and Charlie it has several more buds. This is one of the plants from my first order from you back in 2007. The others on that order were Heavy Metal, High Voltage, Living Legend and Cherry Appaloosa. The Cherry Appaloosa turned out to be mislabeled and was Fragile Moment which became one of my favorites. Unfortunately that one died on me last year but the others are still doing very well.

Roadrunner,
It is a beautiful bloom of BGF.
It seems young plants do not bloom well. I also have waited for blooms, but not as long as you. Mine has started being a decent bloomer in its second year.
ciao, Nina

That's good to hear, Nina.
Fragile Moments is such a pretty flower, too bad it is a fragile bush, too. I thought I lost it entirely but found one blooming just the other day so may try to build back some plants of it. Here's a photo of several, not mine so thanks to whoever took it and sent it.
