Sandy's Greenhouse

17 years ago

My DIL, Sandy brought several brugs into her greenhouse. I posted photos of Dream Angel a while ago. Well, this one is still blooming and so are several others.

Hey, Shawn- I forgot---- someone sent my DIL Joli! She even has a pod from this one!

    The Dream Angel is a beauty! And I was going to say wow... you are good to have the Joli cutting blooming already, LOL. Is this the first it bloomed for her? I hope to see the darker color but it is still nice. I am not sure but I think Joli may be a pod sibling to Superspot. Does your DIL let you sneak any of your brugs into her GH? It looks huge and it looks like she really knows how to grow the brugs like her MIL! Brenda did those culebra buds you had ever open?

    oh WOW she knows what she is doing with those angels! It is such a beautiful sight compared to the stipped down angels in a SHED :-( My DH jokenly said...butt naked huah. Yeah. Buds naked

    Hope I never have to use THOSE for a picture of the day. ha ha ha there goes the day for all of us lol

    Tell your DIL we LOVE her greenhouse angels.

    BTW! How did the Game go???

  • 17 years ago

    WE are leaving for the game in a few minutes- below freezing with the windchill- I look like a teddybear, all bundled up.

    Joli should be darker in the summer. But you know, Miz Scarlett was still dark at the end of October.

    Thanks, I'll let her know ya like them.

    Wow, as the others have said...she sure knows how to grow those brugs. They all look so healthy.

    It's funny as I was looking at the pictures, I was thinking...those flowers don't look very big. Then I get to the photo the hand and it makes the bloom like like big foot. ha ha. It is so hard to tell by a photo the size of the plants/flowers.

    Dream Angel is so darn adorable. I really like it's skirts.

    Thank you for sharing the picture.

    Beautiful photos. I have 3 dream angels. They are all in the ground still and are still blooming even though we hit @ 28 F a few times and in the 30's a few times. They get protection on the cold nights. I really think this one likes cooler weather. Mine dropped buds all summer until the cooler fall nights arrived. They are still blooming and setting seed pods now even though a few of the others have quit.

    Lenette, many of the doubles seem to like the cooler weather. My PP is blooming and is not so deformed. But the inner skirt won't drop. Not enough humidity in my sunroom, I think. The room stays 60-65. Sandy keeps her greenhouse right about 55-60 at night, altho the solar thing happens during the day and it heats up into the high 80's. Are the seedpods on purpose on your Dream Angels?? Hope no one has packages in the mail heading for the east coast with live plants!

    We won our high school FB game last night- I would have hated to lose, considering it was 27 when we left the stadium after 10:30, and miserable cold for us!! I know, we are wimps, you northerners!! It is 16* outside right now. Darn cold for our neck of the woods!! And way darn early!!

    Shawn, Culebra held 3 buds. The are just pushing out of the calyx. Two of the them, the calyx split at the top and they look all deformed. One looks fine, so I will get one good photo. Shooting Star is blooming tomorrow, and is like Inca Sun, with buds all up and down the stems. CG blooming tomorrow, too. Photos later!!

    Getting ready for the half work-day!

    Yep they are all planned pregnancies lol. The only pods I have that are unplanned is 4 out of many many LOL! The rest are clearly labeled with sharpie on the stems. I even got pods to hold on MEM, finally! She is a picky turd lol.

    My PP is starting to bloom too. She is another one that dropped buds in the heat. Salmon Perfection got real tall and Y'd and only had a few other small branches. I haven't got a flower from her yet but is just setting buds.

    You are braver than I am..no way would I sit in the bleachers watching football at 27, I am a whimp when it comes to cold lol! Glad ya'll won!

    I have 2 little SStar plants blooming in the dining room so it must be thier time too. The other night my son pollinated them with Rosalla, Herrenhauser Gold, Super Pink and MADM. I brought them in cuz is was cold again and they are in little pots.

    Okey, Lenette, what are we going to do with all the seeds we will have next year?

    I have a few surprise pods myself!

    I love Shooting Star- she is so cheerful! Got a pod or two on her!

    Hey, we won- now, we have to play the day after Thanksgiving, and in cold weather, again! Don't know if I'm up for it!

    Heck Brenda who cares about the cold weather, when you win you do so much jumpin and adrenalin (sp) pumpin that you surely do not feel the cold , as much.

    Congratulations. :-)
