Congrats on the blooms did you get pics??
Girl leave them be they will drop and hopefully someone came around to pollinate and you will just have to wait to see if you get a pod.. Did have any other brugs blooming? Have you considered collecting pollen? It is very easy... and very exciting to mess with Nature..
NO DISRESPECT MOTHER NATURE.. ...LOL Lord knows I don't need to step on any toes in that dept..LOLOLOL..

Thanks for the reply. A couple of the yellow flowers fell off and the first part stayed on with a long thin thing remained. Sorry for my ignorance on the terminology. I just leave it? I don't even know what a pod is?

This is a double white. Can you tell if it will flower? Thank you for your help. Donna

Donna love your yellow..... If your double white has the two branches coming off a trunk it has y'ed...Hopefully wont be long for a bloom... Come on Flower...Talk nicely to it.....Goodluck...:)

Donna beautiful!!!

Pod...seedpod :-) if it got pollinated you could have lots of your very own brug seeds

Thank you all. Do I just leave that empty thing with the long thing hanging? thanks, Donna

I am trying to find out for you on my post....I usually do just to see what happens...By the way beautiful bee balm...:) Your yard is pretty!

Donna from what I am learning and observing from last year...Your brug will go through bloom cycles....I forgot to mention that for you...You will see more blooms usually more in the next flush..Now is the time to feed her on a weekly cycle from what I was taught...Yummy Just plain old Miracle gro from what I observed but I could be wrong... We need pros, they must be busy

You could leave that thing hanging or take it off, it doesn't matter. Actually, since you don't have a different brug blooming at the same time, it is doubtful that it got pollinated so that thing will fall off on its own in a few days anyways.

It is natural for the flowers to dry up and fall off after a few days. I agree with what the others have said, brugs bloom in flushes every few weeks, sometimes with a few blooms in between heavier flushes. If the dry flowers bother you, you can pull them off, or they will fall off on their own.

Your plants look nice and healthy. The white on will not bloom until the main trunk splits into a y. If you look at where the blooms are coming off of the yellow one, you will find that each bud comes from between a fork in the branch.

Thanks Shawn for teaching us...I wasnt sure and looking forward to learning from you all.... Any new pics? Barb

thank you, thank you, thank you. One of my neighbors was sitting near her for about an hour. He couldn't get over this plant. Then I would look at it and get nervous b/c I don't know what to do.
rosepedal, thanks about the bee balm too. I have a huge and I mean huge bee balm garden in the back. It is my pride and joy. A woodchuck got 99% of it. I can barely go back there now.
One more question. If there is a y at the base of the double white, does that count? Thanks again, Donna
