A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Brugs Update............

I'm soooooo thankful these unnamed pink have done so well after cutting back,,,,, and thankful the weather has been excellent~ cooler at night mid 60's and day 80's . I mixed some mushroom compost. gardening soil and home compost and hand tilled it in to the soil about two weeks ago,, and gave her a good feeding of fish emulsion,, Today I counted about 25 bloom buds in different stages of development, even if it get cooler here as long as we don't have a frost for another 6 weeks I'll have blooms for a while!

They look sooooooooooooooo good Diane!!! And that one that's almost open!
Can't wait to see the color!!!

This probably my last flush for the snowcone brug....... I have all the windows open in the house and I can smell it in here,,,,,,




the birth of unnamed pink




it won't be long now before it's completely open

Oh Diane, those pictures are so pretty! I love that pink one!

Thanks Shirley it's one of my fav's!

Diane .

Those are awesome.......Do you let them out all winter?

Beautiful!!!

okay all the snow cone has bloomed




so far 4 of the unnamed pink have bloomed,, it just too hard to get a picture of them they have bloomed in different places,,

I was just too curious how large this bloom was..

Beautiful!

Thanks again Shirley

Diane - your brugs are incredibly gorgeous!!!

Here is the first Adora bud still not in full bloom yet - golly gee willackers it's taking its sweet time!!! If it doesn't hurry up, it's not going to get its chance - we are going to take a turn for the cold starting tomorrow and it's all downhill from there!

Here is the bloom, still green, so Diane can see it...

It is ready to turn another color, mine went green, yellow then turned to pink.
It is in the basement now.. Frost coming. I dug it up last nite.

b..has 2 today

Lynne I don't know whyyyyyy that is taking soooooooo long to bloom I hope it opens tomorrow


I'm glad yours bloomed too Dodge,, it looks my unnamed Pink

Here is mine today it still has blooms ... some you can't see because they are on the other side of the fence.

Diane - that looks GREAT!

Thanks Lynne , Yesterday I noticed another flush of Buds,, I hope it blooms before I have to cut it back!

That is beautiful Diane! It is huge!!!

Those are some beautiful flowers!Now I know what to expect when I start growing brugs next year

You can expect anything, but weather they grow or not is another thing.

October blooms I think.

Hey I remember you from last year .emdegardener2

snowcone brug is blooming again,,,, Cooler nights here in the low 40's but days are in the mid 70's it won't be long now I will have to cut them all down and cover them for the winter,

I feel your painnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Here try this.........

Thanks Dodge I need that cup of coffee ! :wink:

one of my brugs has no buds, the other finally has about 5 buds but it's going to get cold before they bloom.

Sheri as long as you don't have a freeze they will still bloom! give them lots of water

Shall we call this THE BRUGS BLAHS ?

this is about 5 minutes long,, I didn't watch the whole thing,, NO vocal instructions on here,, But the first couple of minutes shows you how and where to cut,,

which is a perfect example of why my kids aren't allowed to get on the computer without me sitting with them.

Dodge here is how you cut Brugs I'm trying to keep this on top until Dodge see it,, :wink:

Is the y the only part to use?

My computer is too slow to watch all..
dial up

every 6 inches I was told anywhere..

Nahhhhhhhhh Doesn't have to be above the Y BUT,, It will get blooms faster IF cut above the Y,,,, I've started New Brugs off the stock of the Brug it just took longer to bloom!

They are a problem too......

Like I need another one ........

Okay When I cut Down I'll send you some cuttings

Do you think that is like sending boys and girls parts of the plant?

One fertile and one not?

Lucky you outside with yours all year.

You dont have to send.. another lady did and i put them in soil in the basement.See if I kill them..b

I Don't think it is the case Dodge,, It;s just that primarily they bloom faster after a Y is formed

Closing this one, starting a New One
