18 years ago

Can you id Brug varities from the leaves?

I brought 5 3gal brugs from a nursery thats going out of business for $3.00 gal. I was told they were peach. They have no blooms. I have another one thats I was giving,its leaves are fuzzy and soft.It leaves looks like cutting off a white i got.Is this a dumb question?

Thanks Denise

    NO.. Not a dumb question.. None of them are..LOL But No you can't tell by their leaves.. you can't even tell by their blooms.. If it came with No Name it stays with No Name.. A Beautiful NOID (no ID) Trust me we all have them some are the work horses of the garden and some are NOIDs becoz you lose a tag or your Grands clean up for you and just bring all of the tags to you..LOL They were soooo Proud... So long as it fits in and produces it is worth having....$3.00.. WOW What a Bargin.. Congrats!!!

    Yet she is exactly right. No dumb questions except the ones you don't ask, lol. I came to this forum for the first time to get an ID as well and thought I was so smart when I found a pic that looked similar to my flowers. I thought ahaha even if I don't know the real name I think its a frosty pink so thats what I'll think of it as. Well what do you know. Nearly every one I have seen so far look like frosty pink, lol. Some have different smells though, some have different leaves and other small differences that make them all impossible to ID if it doesn't come with a name. My noid salmon opened tonight and smells really good. Whoopeee! I love the smell good kind. Don't care what the name is, lol.

    So if I wanted to trade brugs it don't matter what it is.I mean I like to know the names of my plants. I know the names to just about all my coleus that are not seed.
    I would'nt want to send a cutting to some one and they already have it.I'm trying to wait till my brugs bloom before i take cutting so i at least know what color they
    are. Denise

    Kylie thanks for the heads up. I am going to have the wild redheaded grandson next summer. AND his brother. Then my granddaughter on top of that. Oh boy I better sit them down and talk to them about the tags lol
    Denise I have seen so many beautiful NOID pictures on here. I do not care about the name. It only comes into play when you want to trade and to make sure you do not have it already. Otherwise they are all angels to me. Some with naughty behaviors but angels never the less lol
    I do not know, Why can I neve find a bargain like that? Oh but hold on. I did! All I have to do is pay postage and I get to have so many treasures from you all. Because you share your angels for FREE! Thanks everybody. It is not that I could not go buy more. But it is not the same feeling you get. When someone shares their angels! It is priceless.
    Can you all tell that I missed talking and being on here during the day? lol. Started painting the house. Need to get it done!
    Denise just let folks know it is a NOID and what it is. Unless someone does not care. A newbie I am sure would appreciate ANY brug they can start their collection with.

    Some of the peaches are really pretty. If you can get a pic of the flowers and they are pretty most people would be happy to have it no matter if it has a name or not.

    They should be called NOIDS if they didn't come with name tags and be proud of them! When we first started out we had kept photos of both the leaves and blooms but with all of the new ones now I sure wouldn't ID by leaves. Besides the 'Brug Cops' out there will have a field day, the only proper way is to have DNA tests. Enjoy and be up front with those that you trade with, unknown NOIDS that you haven't seen bloom.
