Brug photos

17 years ago

Well, it's time.

Brenda's Beauty, and some others are blooming. There is some confusion about the tags, as DD does not really look like what I expected. I think I may have found my missing Whiskers, too, but will wait for the next flush to see how they look. Otherwise, these may be NOIDs, ............but still very pretty.

And more to come! More buds are appearing every day and soon should have lots to share with ya!!

    Brenda they are gorgeous. I can literally smell them.

    My heart broke when I lost your cuttings along with everything else. Was the hardest lesson I have learned about my garage and it is not freeze proof :-(

    Just keep those pictures coming. Oh how lucky you are. I can not wait for that smell. That look.

    That beauty in each bloom that opens!

    Brenda, everything is beautiful! BB is gorgeous!! My cutting died..waaahhh. Never really got going..seemed to struggle constantly, then when she went out in spring she really pooped out on me. We've pretty much had a monsoon season all spring.
    I'm sorry I killed her :(
    But I do want to thank you for giving me a chance with her, I really do appreciate it.

    Oh, How Pretty! I really like that "Whiskers"! Very Nice.

  • 17 years ago

    Love that color. Is that the normal color change for BB???
    Love Her,

    I know Tammy I keep coming back to look at whiskers...:) and BB is peachy color...That makes me so happy...She really is pretty Brenda...

  • 17 years ago

    They are all so beautiful! I do love the peachy color on Brenda's Beauty.

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks, everyone, for your appreciation!

    Barb, Whiskers is finally on day 6 going a little bit peachy- isn't that a wonderful form? I just love it too. This is an old variety and not too many people have it anymore.

    Brenda's Beauty is even deeper peach today but my darn camera takes photos that wash out the color.

    Gemini is another star today. We have had a few cool days, so the blossoms are taking longer to open and they are lasting longer. The second skirt on Gemini tends to not drop too far, but these little blossoms are loaded with some of the greatest brug fragrance ever. Definitely worth having. Thanks, Dweeb, for sharing it with me! This has been a rewarding brug! Nice flushes for a double and she blooms in quite a bit of heat! Stays pure white, too. Did I say I like Gemini???? LOL!

    You can look at all the new photos using the link for June 6th brugs. I have a nice seedling blooming- very nice but the texture is very flimsy, like MEM's. Seems to happen on some of the big ones!

    Great pics Brenda. Nice seedlings too. I can't wait for seedling blooms. Any blooms actually. I have buds on quite a few brugs, no seedlings though. But they are growing well.
    I lost my BB cutting too :(. It was a bad winter for cuttings, I lost so many that I really wanted.

  • 17 years ago

    Wow I love the seedling! pic number 25 sends me over...I really like oranges and the tendrils are over the top.. Brugs as I am learning crack me up..They sure change colors..Is it me or was it yellow in the pic before... Must be the day before... or possibly on the same brug...

    Brenda I consider you as a expert Hyb person... I have the same biting marks on my leaves...Could you please teach me what it is..I thought crickets from what I learned... It seems since they hatched it has not been as bad on Maya... It makes me think they laid there eggs there... also for what it is worth..My red bellied wood peckers are eating out of the soil...

    Brenda That is one wonderful Looking Brug.

    I just love how it changes colors.

    That is going on top of my want List.

    HI, all, I gotta make a retraction- that is not Whiskers in the photos, sorry to say. Whiskers has heavily serrated leaves. Bad me, for misleading ya, and I'm really disappointed. Darn! Now, I won't know what it is, unless the label is buried in the pot!

    Have more photos to share but I've run out of time at the office. Tomorrow!

    Brenda

  • 17 years ago

    Ok I will be back tomorrow for MORE :-) Sorry it is not Whiskers. But it is a BEAUTY!! Just like your Brenda's Beauty and the others. Hope the label is in there and that you used a waterproof marker lol

    Hi Gotta!!!

    How on earth did you get your brugs to bloom so early here, may I ask? Mine are better this year than the last three (water would probably be the key) so I've been feeding them (refused to feed during the drought)...so they are large, (I lost one, I think Dr. Seuss)...but no where near bloom.

    What a thrill that you have so much going on already! It was fun to see - out of my 4 brugs only Cherub is giving any indication it might bloom soon. The others are still holding out. Thanks for the encouragement!

  • 17 years ago

    welcome girlgroupgirl

    I believe the trick to early blooms is called a green house?! lol

  • 17 years ago

    Nah, Lucy, I did not get my greenhouse up like I wanted and the $$$ went elsewhere, now. Some of my brugs hung out in the sunroom and most were in my barely-above-freezing basement. I lost a few but still have plenty- that is an understatement!!

    Glynis, is that you? Welcome to the brug world! All my brugs that come back from the roots bloom much later. These blooms were on brought-inside-for-the-winter plants!

    Okey, I have to tell y'all, I have been so covered-up at work, I don't have time to even eat. I am working by myself two days out of our 6-day week, so I did not get my photos posted yesterday. Here they are. More seedlings blooming for the first time, more and more. Yay!!! I am so happy I will not have to save them over another winter, since so far they don't seem to be keepers. I won't get rid of them yet but let them bloom on til Fall- some of them may have a change of heart and turn spectacular!! LOL!

    Look for the photos from the 7-8th. They are all in one file and I think the link takes you to all my June brug photos.

    Sorry, I have not been able to post much online. Still waiting to be not so busy. Well, I have been waiting for a while for that!!!!

    So, the good, the bad, and a few uglies!!

    oh goodie...more pictures....I go look...but then I go to sleep. Want to get up earlier tomorrow.

    Well darn, no GH and me...I sure hope that the coming winter I will safe a lot more brugs also. Just by knowing how to make the shed more freeze proof.

    Brenda...if it is not ONE thing that keeps one busy, it is another. But I am so happy you are giving us more pictures.

    Hugs
