Brug cuttings available

18 years ago

My son (who bought my house in March) will be moving some of brugs to a different location in the yard, so he has started cutting the brugs back and putting them into buckets of water. I am offering brugs for trade or postage. The Brugs in the area being moved are

Rosenquartz

Pink Beauty

Everlasting

Mountain Treasure

Velvet Rose

Grand Marnier

The downside to this is that he neglected to label which was which! So they will be mystery brugs!

If anyone is interested let me know!

    Just a quick note to all that paid through paypal--your packages went out today and you should receive notification with tracking # I hope they arrive safely and grow into gorgeous trees for you! Another storm went through this am so I am going to go do some more repair and try to retrive potted plants that are all over the neighborhood. I am so sick of these storms

  • 18 years ago

    Oh Linda I'm so sorry your still having storms and that your pots are flying all over town - not good. Hope soon that your weather improves and that you won't need instructions to build an ark.

    Jan

  • 18 years ago

    I DO need the ark instructions! I am ready to take the ark wherever it is not bad weather --2 of each animal of my choice and 2 of each plant of choice and visit all of you on my travels! LOL!

  • 18 years ago

    Linda,
    I would love to take advantage of your generous offer. I have lost most of my Brugs the last few years and would love to rebuild my some of my collection. I have already responded to neonposey, and would love to add a few more.

    Thank you,
    Linda

    Linda

    Linda I am so sorry, I got sidetracked and didn't follow through. I sure hope you didn't hold any cuttings waiting for me, but if you did, let me know and I will send you money via paypal right away.
    Thanks, Linda (TOL)

  • 18 years ago

    With all that you have to do I am surprised that you were able to get to the chore of cutting and shipping. I hope your weather has stabilized. We've been in a crazy weather pattern for almost 2 weeks - never know what's coming.

    So I just wanted to thank you Linda - I am very excited to get these. As a matter of fact, I think I will share the wealth and pass 2 or 3 along to friends - just to spread the addiction! Naughty enabler! lol

    Sorry Linda, I have been gone having tests. I just picked them off last year but you can use sevins dust or something similar to control most worms.

  • 18 years ago

    Donna-since you are so close by, you can come over and pick up a few! Then you can see what I have been doing the last 3 months!! I am putting another pond in - it will be in the screened carport. (Next winters greenhouse!!) I will call you sometime today.
    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks Linda I got my tracking number yesterday. I'll hunt for the ark instructions I know they're around here some where but please when getting 2 of every thing leave the bugs behind especially the grasshoppers.

    Hope your weather is improving and you found all of your potted plants

    Jan

  • 18 years ago

    No bugs are allowed on my ark!!! I will leave them for people that don't like plants! I'll Teach them!!!! I was at my son's yesterday and found lubbers!!! I NEVER had them in the 25 years I lived there. He is neglecting the yard though so will have to severely discipline him!!!! I don't think he will become an avid gardner like Mom however.

  • 18 years ago

    LINDA!!

    I received the cuttings yesterday. Thank you so much for your kindness and your generous offering! :)

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Linda!! I'm doing the "jumpin for joy" right now. Received my cuttings wrapped tighter than Ft. Knox which is a "good thing"! Wouldn't want anyone helping themselves! I am just so appreciative of these beautiful little babies that I just took a "before" pic and can't wait to take the "after" pic!

    Thank you so much for sharing from the bottom of my heart. On my way to start rooting...

    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    I am so glad everyone is starting to receve their cuttings!
    I hope your have great luck rooting them and blooming by fall (maybe?!)
    Please let me know if they do not arrive!

    dirt_under_my_nails -- yes! I have more I can send.
    My next batch will go out next week after the holiday.
    I have a busy weekend going on and I just got thru another project!!!
    The 10' x 20 carport that I turned into a screened room now has a pond!!! Whe it becomes the greenhouse in the winter there will be moisture for the plants!!!
    Pictures will be next week!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks Linda - the babies arrived alive and well. Thanks a bunch for your generosity. I promise to pay it forward.

    Happy 4th everyone!

    Thanks again!

    Maureen

    P.S. I have a question. I put them in water but was wondering if they can go out in the sun or is it best to keep them in the shade for now?

  • 18 years ago

    Thank you so much Linda, my cuttings arrived today in perfect condition. What part of Jax is having such bad storms? In 71-75 we lived in the San Jose area and still missing it and would love to more back. Hubby says no way.
    Hope you have a safe and wonderful 4th of July, and thanks again.

    Linda,
    Do you live in Jacksonville? What part, I lived there for 15 years then moved just south of Lake City. But we still work in Jacksonville thru the week.

    Still interested in cuttings if you have any left.

    Thanks,
    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    Hello Linda I also would like to receive some of your cuttings if you have any left..Really sorry about the rough weather you have been having lately..we've had our share of it up this way also..what doesnt kill us, makes us stronger..right!!??

    Thank you so much Linda, the cuttings arrived yesterday, yipeee. We lived in the San Jose area of Jax in the early 70's and still want to move back. Then again on second thought I'm too old to be building an ark.

    Thanks again
    Jan

  • 18 years ago

    I am on the westside (off Old Middleburg Rd.) For some reason we have been getting the straightline winds with the storms over here. Hope it that will quit!
    shlycac--Where do you work in Jax? Perhaps we could meet up next week if it's not close to me-depending on time of day/traffic. You may be close by on your commute and could stop by

    crzmama - I have some left if you would like them.

    Jan-the SS San Jose area has not been getting the storms as much. That is a nice area over there. Still waiting on the ark instructions! LOL

    Maureen Keep them in the shade until they are well rooted in soil and gradually acclimate them to sun
    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    I sure would Linda Thank you very much..Just lmk so I can paypal you..Thanks again..Hope you have a wonderful and Happy 4th!!

  • 18 years ago

    Linda

    Look at ALL the people you've made so happy!! :) Yay! More brug folks! I love it!

    Mike

  • 18 years ago

    crzmama - email me and I will give you my PP address and amt
    I love to give and put smiles on others faces--especially after what I give blooms. I have had the priviledge of having others give and every time something blooms I smile and think of the person that was generous enough to give and take the time to lovingly package and send it to me.
    A special thanks to all that have helped me!!
    Everyone have a happy and safe 4th and remember that there are many soldiers that fight for our country and do not have the holiday off--God Bless them all!

    Linda,
    Sent postage for brugs thru paypal. Let me know if that is a correct amount. Thanks so much for your generous offer. I am anxious to receive brugs, I do not have any of the ones you are offering. Will be sitting by mail box waiting. LOL

  • 18 years ago

    Linda,
    I work off of University Blvd on Richard Road, near University and Phillips Hwy. I live south of Lake City, but north of Gainesville. I would be glad to meet you any day after work, just let me know.
    And yes you are right about the weather coming in, as we witnessed hail one afternoon just before leaving work.

    I have to let everyone know, that I had the pleasure to meet Linda441 this afternoon. What a great lady you are Linda, and I enjoyed my visit to your garden yard!!!..
    Everyone reading this, you would not believe the color she has in her yard, just about every color you could think of. And she is very generous with her cuttings, as i left with more than the Brug cuttings she promised.

    Linda keep up the great work, and I hope to see you again.

    Thank you,
    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    Linda
    It was wonderful meeting you and your husband yesterday. We will have to get together again and have a longer visit.
    I will let you know when I am having the GW swap here and you both will have to come!
    Hope everything does well for you!!
    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Linda! Just letting you know I sent my pay pal postage to you yesterday. Please let me know if it came through.

    Linda, I am bumping this up for a lady from another forum that didn't know about garden web. I sent her a Frosty Pink and a noid and she is hooked, lol. If you have any left I know she would appreciate one and may have something you would like to trade for. I am sure she will be signing up and looking here soon. I don't have anymore left until fall. I kept one of everything so I will have a lot to share then as well.

  • 18 years ago

    Sorry, I was mistaken. She did know about the forum just hasn't neen here in a while I guess.

  • 18 years ago

    Hi!
    Just wondering if you still have any Brugs left! I am beginning to collect them, & I have one so far..... Please let me know, & I will be so grateful!

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Neonposey,

    What a wonderful offer you have put out their for newbies. That is
    why the
    brug forum is such a great place and group of people to chat with.

    I have been a meamber of the GW Forum since December or so of last
    year
    and would like to have one of your white brugs and a jamacin yellow
    if I
    qualify for your offer.I own one small cutting of a Cherub brug which
    I am
    looking after for dear life and I own a orange brug (at least that is
    what
    it was marked when I purchased it)this one has not bloomed yet.

    I can only pay with a money order and If this is a problem then its
    no big
    deal. Again thanks for the offer and Happy Gardening to ya!! :0)

    Hi Linda-
    Did I forget to say that if you still have any brug cuttings left, that I can pay with Paypal, but I need to know how much! I am getting my brug collection started slowly, some awesome folks will be mailing me a few extra cuttings for trade or postage! I'm getting hooked!
    Thanks, looking forward to your response!

    Just a quick note! I have to put a hold on all cuttings offered
    I had a call from the nursing home in NH where my Dad is--he asked last week to be taken off all medications and has been in bed since with oxygen and he is not responding. My brother is close by (Maine)and also called me and said he is going there-have had contact with staff at nursing home, my neice and friends and they all say he will not make it very long -please keep him in your prayers for a safe passage to the destination he has been seeking for months! This is something that I had accepted but it is tearing me up to lose him. Please pray for me to handle this! I may be off the forum for awhile but will think of all of you and catch up when I return
    Thank you
    Linda

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Linda-
    I know this is an older post, but would you happen to have any more rooted brug cuttings available? I'd love to send you postage.......
    Please let me know!
    Thanks!

    I am so sorry but the offer ended in July as posted above and due to several negatory posts, I will only be doing private cutting swaps in the future, and not offering on the forum. There are many here that would be glad to help you with cuttings when they start cutting for winter storage.
    I wish you many blooms next year.
