Kasha I betcha that was a amazing sight! Hope your Batteries charges faster then mine!! My Bedtime is just about here. today I go to bed so I can sleep.

It sounds HUGE...but unless it came with a name...you know that it will always be a NOID, right?

I am excited with you...will be back to take a look at your Kong :-)

Lucy

Lucy - yes- I know- I would never pass it along any other way than noid- just curious! Here are it's first pics- just check out the pink brug next to it on the left- her calyx's are so tiny compared to this new one! This huge white noid has a calyx that has only 2 slits - and so far- a slight baby powder scent! Tomorrow will tell more!

It's a nice bloom but I really don't know. Compare it to Eddie's Kong

Here is a link that might be useful: Kong

Karyn- Thanks for Eddie's link- I couldn't tell if his has those slight yellow lines flowing out from the inside like mine... the flower hasn't emerged all the way yet- I will take more pics tomorrow! Lucy- I think I saw an old post of yours with a photo similar to this brug- do you think it looks like yours? I am SOOO excited!
Good night!

Kathy,
I don't know if it is Kong either as I have not seen one in person. I sure do think your bloom is purdy!
Enjoy!
Joyce

Oh Kasha I wish I had something that looks SO GORGEOUS!!!It is really beautiful.

Lucy

I would say that that is not Kong. Kong hangs out of the calyx more than that, when measuring, I do not include the calyx..just up to where the corolla meets the calyx. Here is a pic of Kong;

Wait and see, maybe it will drop out more, or maybe if this is its first bloom, it's just not 'right'. Successive blooms may be diff.

If this did not come with a name, it will always be a NOID, no matter what anyone 'thinks' it looks like.
Do you remember where you got it?
How's the scent? Is it strong? My Kong doesnt have a strong scent, you have to be right there to smell it.

It's just for fun- I know it will always be a noid- unless I can get the name from the Hack sisters... it was such a puny cutting when I got it from her I didn't think it was gonna live! It has a slight baby powder scent,,, this is its first bloom...no big deal if I can't identify it, I LOVE it! It is my first white to bloom.. How long is your flower, and does it have those yellow stripes Daniellalell? Thanks for your pics.

Holy smokes that is one big flower... Very pretty Kasha...

I copied this from my other post, lol. I couldnt remeber off hand and am too lazy right now to get up.
"It stays open during the day at about 6", and at night opens fully to about 8" wide. I measured the length, and this one is 9" not including the calyx." The 8" wide does not include the tendrils.
This was the first bloom on a small plant, so I am thinking that is the reason I had a small bloom. Hopefully the following blooms will be bigger.
I have other brugs that have put out way bigger blooms than my Kong did so far.
Yes, when the bloom first came out it did indeed have the green stripes. But, alot of them do. After the first few hours of being open, the green was gone.

I didnt mean to sound like a b!tch in my last post, lol. Hope you didnt take it that way. I know, when you have a NOID you always wanna know what it 'could' be. I'm the same way about mine, lol.

Thats the same scent my Kong had, very light baby powder.
The Hack sisters, lmao!!!
I really like the whites too, they really 'pop' at night.
How wide is the bloom?

Hi Again-
I see that my flower stays open during the day also- this is its 2nd day- the yellow lines have disappeared, it's totally white now- I just measured the diameter of the flower at 10:30 pm.., not counting the tendrils-the flower is 9 inches wide- the flower is only 6 inches long, not counting the Calyx... maybe the other blooms will be larger. I will save the pollen tonight & freeze it- I hope to cross it with one of my other Brugs when they flower... this is so awesome!
Daniellallel- don't worry- no offense taken! I totally understand about Noids- we want to keep everything right on!
It is really disconcerting to get a brug & find out it's not what someone says it 's supposed to be!
Have a great night!

When I see the gorgeous blooming NOIDS...just look at Joyce's latest pictures of hers...I really would not mind getting NOIDS...as long as I know I am not getting the same one over and over again roflmao.

then if one wants to get into hyberdizing...well then it is very important to have the brug with the right name. I believe that is mostly why names play such a high importance. Or?

My little Precious kitty made NOIDS out of all my hibiscus cuttings I had taken. Put in little shot (sp) glasses. On the windowsill in the kitchen. Next time I looked, she had ripped a lot of them out and they were laying in the sink. So now I have to wait until they bloom to know what is what rofl.

Lucy

Hi- don't worry- I am going to do some investigating soon to see if this really is a Kong- I will get a hold of my neighborly Hack sister & ask her it's name- then I will trade it in the fall! I have polinated my Frosty Pink with the white noid's pollen, then I froze the rest.... If I don't get a name for it- the babies stay Noids too... just experimenting... yippee!
kasha77

Experiments are the best Kasha! Wishing you the best..:) Barb

Ps scientist never think in the box... Look where they are at..:)
