I'm here. Hey I remember that it was Barry who started the 'show yourself' thread because It was right after he posted the other um hum photo that I thought was of him and maybe a friend? ROTFL.... and I was afraid to look ha!

~Lenette

Hey Ross!!!
Welcome.. I hope you will hang around... we are Dang Good group of folks!!!Like to have a great time and we take care of each other...
Kylie

SJN, Karyn.. As hard as I try to forgrt ya'll just have to bring it up...ROFL
Barry is a very hansome man.. not some skinny white haired naked guy with his twin...LOL It is burned in my brain!! ROFLMBAO!!!

Hello all,

I a an "old" newbie. I used to be a member years ago, but had to drop out. Now after having to deal with life's trials and tribulations I am back again.This will be my first spring outside in 3 years. Wish me luck that the outside doesn't make me sick again. I had lots of brugs and other things "back" then along with other stuff, but not being able to tend to anything, most everything is gone. I have been busy the past couple of weeks buying stuff for the yard and (tongue in cheek) brugs. I have plants and cuttings that I have purchased and if all goes well hope to have things to trade in the fall.

Dee

I want to see Barry's picture!...Anybody save it?...You can email it to me Here

Welcome Ross and welcome back Dee. I hope things go well for you this year. I couldn't imagine not being able to "play" in the yard. I hope you don't have any bad reactions to the outdoors and can once again enjoy your garden.

Kylie/SJN no matter how I try I'll never be able to forget that pic. Unfortunately neither will my oldest son! Serves him right for reading over my shoulder while I'm online. lol
Karyn

Carmie.. Hon you want the picture or THE picture!!! Which Thank GOD is gone!!! Go to the "show Yourself" thread.. I saw someone bumped it up.. I have (insert ugly word..) dial-up.. so I haven't been able to get it to load... Most folks are there.. BUT We are still missing a few...LOL I think they should " Man Up" and show yourself!!! Do it on this thread!!! Pretty cool to know just who you are really talking to.!

Karyn that should have cured the over the shoulder thing...LOL
Kylie

Kylie..Yup, I want to see THE picture..the one that is gone..am I nosey.....naaaaaah:) lol

Hi, I'm sort-of-a newbie, but not really. You all are
some wonderful, funny and generous people. I don't post
very often, however, I'm always around reading and
learning from your posts.
HAPPY SPRING!!

Margaret

Hi all you lurkers! And newbies! Yes, I bumped up the "show yourself threads, 1&2, so folks could see the other nuts on here, lmao..and possibly add to them. But Kylie you are right, so many that for dial-uppers, they won't be able to see it unless they wait a year, so better to post theirs here.
I wanna see THE pic too, I never did.
Daniella

Hi - and Happy Spring; I'm still lurking and learning - Judy

Carmie you really don't want to see THE PIC! It was put up as punishment by a site where Barry copied a map or something like that without permission. Instead of the map showing up this other photo was posted in it's placed. Worst of all was that Barry didn't realize it and a bunch of us were viewing this atrocity and thinking that Barry posted it by mistake. At that time we didn't know what one another looked like and many of us thought that it was a pic of Barry! lol Just think of geriatric gay porn and you'll get the picture.
Karyn

Hi, All..Gramsharon from N.Mn., checking in per request. I'm sooooo old that I remember when being a member of the forum had a yearly membership fee. Many dropped out, very regretfully. But, life is good and all interested and with the brugs passion are free to join and share.

Sharon

HA HA!!! We will always be talking about THE PICTURE here won't we! Unfortunantly, that thing is ingraved in my mind. Wish I could forget it but it was such a trip seeing something like that on the brug forum. And it stayed here for a couple of days if I remember right. I think we were supposed to be looking at a light chart. Poor Barry...

Welcome to all the new people!!! I havn't been here much lately so you might not really be new here, but WELCOME from me anyway.

LOL when I saw THE PIC my dd had walked into the room behind me and said, "OMG mom's looking at gay porn!" and then went running through the house saying, "mom is an internet perv" rotflmao!!! Geez, and I thought I only looked at plant porn on gw lol.

lmfao!! OMG OK I am glad I didn't see it, I can just imagine..and I don't want to. SJN, that's hysterical! I have seen it mentioned alot in here, but now I have read too much about it!! Poor Barry, lmao!!

I'm very much still here :) (sorry guyz)

happy spring everyone!

what picture are you talking about? from the sound of it, I'd guess lemonparty. don't ask how I know... I have a somewhat lengthy and dare I say "distinguished" record of pranking people.

Ri

It was MUCH more explicit then Lemonparty. lol
Karyn

I'm here, waiting for spring!
Shawn

ROTFLMAO!!....That bad huh!..What a rotten thing to do to poor Barry!!

Hi from me too. I have a Brug. plant that is just starting to open today. I have been growing it in the house all winter and the plant is now 22 inches tall and the flower is 16 inches long. The plant is Ecuador Pink.
Sue

Wait a minute..speaking of poor Barry..where the heck is he?

Checking in!

As per Karyn's request

kentuckyfriedpuppy092 checking in! (grin)

Hey WF - all those Suzie Qs you gave me?

I'm down to 2 or 3. They didn't die, they were given away.

All those cuttings I have? I took a lady's cutting in that I was babysitting. I had given 12 various cuttings away last fall.

Suddenly, another lady in the office asked for 3 after she said "no" before. Another asked for 2, and two more ladies asked for some, and now I have a request for 5 more from 5 other people.

Guess what - I'm gonna have to say no now. That will be in the area of 25 plants/cuttings I just gave away! (grin)

Otherwise, I'm into my private stock that I'm planning for my yard and mom's yard. (grin)

Thought you'd like to know. There are pieces of your suzie Q all over the county now. (grin)

dweeb, sounds like Brugs trying to take over the world. You must have not had any room at your place with that many cuttings.

Rigo

Hey dweeb, I have one of those suzie Qs you sent out. What do the blooms look like on this one?

I've got a little bitty growing room that I rehabbed. They were doing really well. Really crowded, but doing well.

Unfortunately, I just shifted some more from water to cups of dirt and they look really, really bad. Not sure what's wrong. But, hey, win some, lose some. Some might make it.

At least giving some away made room for more. (grin)

And I'm on the hunt again. . . .mwwaaahaaaahahaaaa. . .

That's great Dweeb! I'm glad you found homes for some but especially that you saved some for yourself. Pagrdnr, here's a bloom pic of SQ:
{{gwi:470311}}

That's gorgeous, Michelle!!! Would you keep me in mind when you take cuttings?:~)

Theresa

Hi all, still here and still lurking. If my Brug ever blooms, I will post a pic. It keeps putting out buds but no bloom in sight! (And we're still fighting the dreaded mites, but hanging in there).
LOVE the pic, Wildflower!
Lori

Michelle

Me too on the cuttings! :) What a beauty!!

Mike

This is my first time on this forum. Me and my life partner (husband of 54 years on April 23)are really into citrus and bluebirds. I had a brug.
Grew it from a stick. It was beautiful a yellow and pink about 10 feet tall. The winter freeze killed it. I was sick about it. Cut the dead wood down and up came a sprout.
Ain't God good!!!
meanma

I'm here! Have not been posting for awhile due to moving. I have a clean slate to work with and planning my gardens. I have all my plants in pots right now and tryin to determine what will go where. (Plus been buying more!) I don't know if I will run out of room first though! (My new yard is half the size of where I moved from) My son bought the house from me and is becoming a gardener and loving it! I did leave him many of my plants and he loves the brugs and plumeria. I am anxious to see how he does.
Linda

Welcome back, Linda! I'm sure it's nice that you can go visit your old house and gardens! I bought my house from my parents too! Good luck in your new house! OOH, a clean slate! :~)

Theresa

I'm here. And have potted my surviving brug cuttings. And to spread the word, I have given away some to folks who asked last year, "What the hell is that growing in those big pots in front of your house?" and then saw them when they bloomed.

Jim

hey linda, glad you're still around! 'm sure your son will do just fine, especially since he has you to help him when he needs it.

I also have a Suzie Q or 2 that Annette sent me. Can't wait till they bloom! Beautiful pic Michelle! Thanks for sharing them with Annette so she could share as well!

Daniella

Hey Jim: Good to see you here. It's been a looong time. You were missed. Hope all is going well with you and the pussy cat. The G. Dane and I are still co-existing (?) with the raccoons and the skunk who has taken up perm. residence in the garage. My cats seem to get along well with the Raccs, so I guess Harmony can be Had!!! lol Gloria

Theresa and Mike, you are both welcome to cuttings in the fall. Just remind me in case I forget!!! Linda, I haven't seen you in ages....Did you leave your pond behind at your old house?

Hi,I'm here. This week I managed to pot up some of the cuttings I have been rooting all winter. A couple look a little limp but most are doing great. My teeny tiny yard is going to be dedicated mainly to brugs and daturas. Oh yes I remember "Barry's picture" quite well. Trude

Hi, I'm a very present lurker and learner. I appreciate all the help and encouragement. Blessings and hugs!!

Happy Easter and joyful salutations everyone, I'm a new learner in growings brugs (tried a few years back, lost them to mites -- decided to never grow them again and here I am). I'm not sure how active I will be in the forum as I am still a humble beginner in this field of growing but I thank everyone for sharing their experiences, photos, tips, and knowledge and for encouraging and giving hope to newbies like myself the possibility to grow angels.

Welcome meanma - daffodillady & ladybuggyz! Nice to see new people who we can 'enable' into the brug world!! And welcome back Linda & Jim! And it's nice to see Lori hasn't run off! :) And Michelle - I'll remind you! :) Trude - where have you been?? I haven't seen you post for a very long time!

Mike

ladybuggyz...I am so glad to see you popped in!

Yes Michele, I did leave the pond in the back yard as well as the larger pond in the fron but have replaced them. I hope picture works-It's been so long since I posted pics. The deck is enclosed now with roof and railings as well
