    Dummen I Think

    I'm just as bad as naming flowers as I am birds, fish, and insects, so I took a snap of the name:\
    Ng Sunstanding Rose Aurora Dummen. The first part of the name took me to some NSFW websites, but the Dummen seems a safe identification. Colors that seem easy to edit for online viewing but would need additional work if ever printed. Comments welcome.

    They look like petunias to me.

    Apparently the "Dummen" is related to the greenhouse growers; I think.

    Petunias always put on a nice show around here. Good capture John.

    Reminds me of a song when I was young-er --I'm a lovely little petunia on an onion patch. Very pretty colour...

    It might be lonely but the song says 'lovely'

    This was the tag next to the flowers, like I said I'm not very good with identifications. A search of the names on the sign took me to some strange websites, hence the title of the thread.

    Dummen I Think

    The reference to the growers came from the link below, I think it relates to the grower or greenhouse.

    Re: Dummen I Think

    I wonder if the flowers and the sign match. A simple googling lead me to na.dummenorange.com/products/sunstanding-rose-aurora.aspx showing a picture where the colors are different and the leaves much bigger!

    It is possible, there was another grouping of flowers nearby. If I get back to the area I'll ask the gardeners if they are nearby. Thanks for viewing and checking name.
