Looking for Added Input . . . . . .

17 years ago

here at GW, where y'll are great of giving directions.

It's not a secret we have a B. Sanguinea Orange and my question to everyone here is; would you be willing to obtain one for your collection? Input on prices you would be willing to pay. The reason I ask is; if put on ebay like we did the Datmansia seeds it caused a stir in some

circles and I'm not wanting to go that route again. I have been playing with cuttings and found this is a great time of year to get them to root. I have a few folks I have committed rooted plants to so they will come first. These will not be huge plants for a while so they are small 2-4" cuttings. Remember Sangs grow slowly for some folks but we are so surprised at how well this one is doing at temps at 50 degrees in the brug house. Input please!

    Karma I wish I could grow them here. That would be one I would love to the collection. Being new, the most I would pay for a brug is 50 Dollars. Which I did for the Lemon Meringue.
    I think you need to do what you need to do Karma. Why should you not do what is good for YOU?!

    Good Luck and hope you find a LOT of folks that do want and can have them!!

    Me - not having a Sanguinea doesn't really help you! I may have to break down & get one - to see what the 'craze' is all about! lol! I've seen pictures of the red one - which makes me drool each time I see it! :) Like Lucy said - do what YOU want to do! Sounds like it would benefit you - as well as the buyer! :)

    I honestly have no idea what the going rate for an orange Sang is. I say scr*w what anyone says, put them on Ebay and get as much as you can. It's not like you are trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. Is the orange variety any different from the red in terms of growth? One day I'm going to get a Sang to bloom for me. lol

  • 17 years ago

    If the cuttings are rooted, I would probably go about $35-40 + shipping. More if it was bigger. Actually, I would be really pleased to get any size. My red Sangs are still doing well.

    Oh karma...I'd love at least one :)

    Whatever you want to charge is fine with me cuz I know you'd be fair and they are SO worth it...Hopefully my one and only will bloom this year so we can see exactly what color/type it is, remember the one I started from seed that just said "red brug"??

    First off Congrats! On rooting them...You must be on top of the world...

    It would be great to have them out there to see how they do in other parts of the country.

    I can understand why you would be hesitant about ebay and the plant getting into the wrong hands. (someone you may not want them to have) Kinda like children you gotta let go sometime....And pray for the best...

    My bet is if you do put them on ebay they will go high...LOL Only for the rich

    Wishing you the best on whatever you decide...

  • 17 years ago

    I am back and agree with rosepedal and everyone. I mean if I already pay 50 bucks for a *normal* brug. You watch and see: People will pay a LOT of money to have one! That is what e bay is for! Who does not want to make as much money as one can?

    As long as it is clear to the buyer what they are getting, you should not feel anything but happy!

    Just do us a favor...WHEN you put them on e bay...can you let us know pretty please. Gosh the last one that was 160 or higher dollars...do not remember what it was. But it sure is exciting to follow the bidding!

    Lucy

    Unfortunately, they do not survive here or I would want to bid! I would start it of low but have a reserve price of what YOU think it is worth and I am sure it would go well over the reserve price. I wish you the best!! Let us know when you list it so we can be watching and cheering you on!!!

    Thank you all for your input. I'm surprised at how well she is doing this winter in the brug house, I've taken 2 sets of cuttings from her so far while keeping this one at 55. We lost power in there once and it did the Sang X vulc seedling from Kelly in and I cried. I've got my toes crossed that it comes back from the roots. These are very special Brugs so I need input at how to handle and price.
    Wishing you luck with yours knotz, we have never had a red one bloom here. I lost the last two of them this winter, guess I'll have to get some seeds.

  • 17 years ago

    Have you seen this variety for sale anywhere? What about in Canada? I've seen brugs advertised there that aren't available here. The red sangs are pretty easy to get but I haven't seen an orange variety so I really have no idea.

  • 17 years ago

    I would be willing to add one too. Not right now but in the spring. I don't know how high I would go, probably $35-40 until I can see if I can even get a sang to grow here. Once I see if my seedlings do well I may be willing to go higher than that. I have a few red sang seeds I can spare if you want, just send me an email...

  • 17 years ago

    Karyn, it's my understanding Europe was the first and seeds were shared here. I was lucky to get a few from whom they were given to and this person had one about the same time I did. Ours was lost when we had a major power failure one winter many moons ago. Our seeds came from Mexico and the lady that obtained them didn't come up for the holidays so I haven't seen her in a years so she doesn't know it bloomed. This is the history that I know about the Sangs Orange, if anyone else know any other source please speak up.

    Pagrdnr, I am so surprised this one was so easy to grow and it's growing like crazy now with no fertilizer, just rain water.

  • 17 years ago

    Shawn, I still have your red Sang here to send you in the spring. It's doing fine.

    Linda

  • 17 years ago

    I would wait until spring when everyone is in the mood to buy plants and then list them on ebay. Start your bidding price around 35-40 and let it go up from there. Put in a good pic and description and it will probably sell itself.

  • 17 years ago

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Yes, spring around mid to late May was my thought as I don't do winter at all! So over $30 and let it ride, I was thinking of $20 so this has been a big help.

  • 17 years ago

    Are you going to do ebay than? I confuse so easy...

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks Linda I almost forgot. I still wanted to start some anyways, just to try them in dofferent locations/ pots vs. ground, etc.... I really hope I can get at least one to bloom.
    Karma, I would definately wait until spring and I bet the price will go up up up when all zones can bid.
    Shawn

  • 17 years ago

    LOL Shawn we have to wait so long to bid on brugs due to our climate nothing will be left...Boo hoo I am sure there will be plenty....This is exciting come on spring...I bet they hit the roof......

  • 17 years ago

    rosepedal, yes I'm getting one ready to see how it does on ebay after I get those committments filled. I have a couple folks that will also be testing this one also to full fill this route. If she keeps growing like she has with the brug house at 50 degrees I'll attempt more cuttings. I'm currently going out every two weeks and getting 3" cutting from her, no joke!! The first set of cuttings are currently rooted and growing. The second set of cuttings for my testers were done this weekend.

  • 17 years ago

    Karma, You can imagine all of the excitement we all have for you and the joy of seeing you prosper in growing these out and rooting them. Grow on sister !!!! LOL

  • 17 years ago

    Oh so you were yelling too?? LOL rosepedal, it's a pure passion here. I was hooked when I saw my first bloom and smelled heaven! To prosper in growing is the goal. Thank you for the comments as I want others to enjoy too what we can do.

  • 17 years ago

    I too would be interested in purchasing one. Please let me know when you add them to ebay. I've purchased several red's on ebay in the past, without much luck, but fortunately I don't ever seem to give up.

  • 17 years ago

    Ii will announce it here as there are many folks that are interested.

  • 17 years ago

    congrats Karma!! me too me too..I'm interested! Def give us the word when you are putting them up!

  • 17 years ago

    Congrats Karma! I would love to get one too, but I have heard they won't survive my heat! I may be tempted to try one though. Maybe it would survive. Let me know when you get them to ebay.
    Thanks, Linda

  • 17 years ago

    Thank you everyone, Sanguineas need to be tried and we are working on the research end of this so we can get more folks to enjoy them. Iiitara's Sang post might be of some interest to folks and we have added some key points of last years research. I will release more this fall if what we saw last year is repeated this year.
