Judy

Nice to see you again! Sorry you had issues that caused you to lose your brugs.

Cutting will commence shortly for many members- I'm already done with my offer for the year.

~Brenda

Judy- I'm sure I will be offering brugs for postage- I will have a lovely fragrant orange noid to offer, please keep your eyes open for my post in about a month! Best Wishes!

Thank you for sharing with me...I have been going through one heck of a year with deciding not to go back to my job even if my husband and I couldnt afford it...I have had a boss that would make Hitler look like a boy scout...my health has gone down hill and almost on the verge of a nervous break down..hubby told me that I wasnt going back there since he wanted me around for our retirement years...my feelings of letting him down has really sent me spinning down hill and if I didnt have my gardens to help me keep sane, I would have been lost...also my father is selling his house to go into an apartment after living in the family house for 37 years..I am the one elected to take care of everything and be the negotiator between the legal part and my brothers and sister...Im sure I will be ok but right now Ive been trying to keep everything positive but today wasnt one of them...sorry Im venting here..I guess I just need to let it all out....Judy

Hi Judy, that is one heavy load on your shoulders :-(

I will let you know what cuttings I will have and you can see if you need any. I have not forgotten your generosity from the e bay buy we had. Unfortunately...I was a very very bad winter mom and send way to much to angel heaven.

hang in there...there is always a light at the end of the tunnel

Hi Judy,
Im so sorry to hear you have been going through so much.
Hey, please feel free to vent all you want.
I will have some cuttings probably in a couple of weeks.
I`ll email you when Im ready to trim.
Big Hugs,
Karen

Well sweetie, I don't have any cuttings, but I have a shoulder and big ears!

Hey Judy, that all is to bad, all I can say is tomorrow is another day, and I think you have plenty of wonderful tomorrows to come so hang in there.

Here's one of the cuttings Kasha77 sent me last winter. This is the largest of the three and the last one to finally bloom. It should open in another couple of days. It's loaded this go-round. It gets a lot of shade so that's probably why it's later than the others. From tip to tip, it's over 8' across.

There will be lots of people offering cuttings, I'm sure. I'll be cutting down all mine around Halloween.

Thank you everybody for all the positive thoughts..today is another day and Im feeling abit stronger......I just keep thinking of people so much worse off then we are...counting my blessings...Judy

exhaling girl! If you're still interested later, send me an

My brugs are still in the ground in the gardens out back and they are loaded with buds - it will soon be time to dig, repot and bring inside. Took brugs (3 varieties) to the Michigan Perennial plant swap in September ... never thought to take cuttings off them.
Cheers to all from Kalamazoo MI

Funny that you mention Kalamazoo! lol! I've been transplanted to Arkansas for the past 18 years! Lived in Plainwell/Otsego area for many years! I worked at KRPH in Kalamazoo, which I think now is closed down! Not sure really whatever happened to the old place! It used to be one of the largest State Facilities in that part of the state.

Sisters, brother, nieces, nephews, still live there! My mom, just last September moved back there, after 18 years here in Arkansas! Still trying to talk her into coming back! :) I think I may have her convinced! Maybe in March she'll be back!! She had forgotten how cold it does get there! lol!

Anyway - glad to see your posting! Brought back some fond memories of Kalamazoo!

I will be trimming my monster back in a few days. It's white and very very fragant(I don't know the variety) and had over 1000 blooms on it last week. E-mail me for pics and info. Cover postage and they're yours. Someone gave me this tree a few years ago and it's gotten huge (15' tall). I cut it back every fall.
