A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Brug starts ~~ Keep on Growing!!!!

OMG Njoynit!!! I can't wait untill mine get that big!!!!

Heyyy I have a little boy fishing statue simular to yours that you posted in your pictures in the last thread of brugs!!!!!!!!

Sybil, Jessica, and all those that got starts from Njoynit or anywhere else ~~ What's the update On yours????

I know Cindy has a brug or two I wonder if the one she had last year is budding up yet?????

That's the ONLY statue the dog has not broke.I have 2 childs 'heads' planted in a bed....it's what's left of the slide children.
Yep!they look great.my flowers a lil droopy today.pretty warm out.I just dead headed roses.pulled a bucket of weeds and am mowing grass with a malfunctioning mower.(seems it gets hot and shuts off....)I gotta fertilize the brugs again.I've done checked them for caterpillars for relocateing.Next mow shut down,,,,,,I'll paint the last coat on arbor.

heres my brugs from njoynit im still keepin them in the green house still i know its safe to plant outside. you can see them in the back, they were to big for the shelves
i also have a couple seeds goin, had to start all over with seeds.

I've got three brugs in my front garden. I cut two back last winter. They are making their spring entrance. We had plenty of wind these past two weeks and two of the brugs took a beating. I'll get some pics out for everyone.

cant wait to see your pics stephanie!
i hope mine look as good as njoynits and dianes!

Ohhhh Yay!! Christy!! IT won't be long now before you can put out!!! I'm excited for you!!!!



Stephanie I didn't know you had brugs!!!! GOOOOODY!!!

two more weeks!!! til i can plant outside!
i took all my brugs and seedlings out side the other weekend *harden off* it was soooooo nice out in the 70s all weekend! i didnt think we would get a frost but we did, all my seedlings died, but the brugs from njoynit were just fine! i was soooooooooo relived they made it!

I will take a pic of mine and show them! They are growing like crazy!!! How warm does it have to be at night before I can put them out! I know I can still get frosts here right now and I would leave them in the pots they are in for now so that I can bring them in and out when I need to...but it has been in the 50s the past few nights and 70s and 80s during the day. Can I leave them out overnight?

They can stay out just not for any frost.You can always sheet them on cooler nights than the 40s.

I wish mine would grow faster......And I'm ahead of everyone else.lol I neemed them yesterday(I seen beetles coming from the soil in yard:O )I just fertilized the garden.Erected my arbor(kinda leans....gotta think on that one..maybe yank rebar out some)moved some plants around.sowed some more seeds.weeded the cacti bed.after I cool down going to play in compost pile.

I really envy some of you...you can garden right now and not SWEAT!But you probably don't have a canna blooming huh.

Just went outside to take a few pics. I couldn't believe how fast they are growing. I have three brugs, one plum in the middle of Freddie Boy La. iris.




This one is pink! Who knew huh? As I was out there, I noticed my first soon to be bloom!



Here's my 2nd. Also pink



The 3rd brug is double white. It suppose to be rare.



They continue to grow quickly on a daily basis!

wow! those look great!

WOWOW Stephanie!!!! Those look great!!!! Please post another picture when it blooms!!!!

Wow Stephanie! Those are wonderful!

I took some pics of mine last night. Forgot my camera today so I will post the pics tomorrow. They are small compared to Diane's, Stephanie's and njoynit's but they have grown a lot since I got them so I am pretty excited about them!

mine are small compared to dianes, njoynits and stephanies too :) cant wait to see your pics!

Okay...here are a few pics of my brug starts that njoynit sent to me! They didn't have any leaves when I got them so they have grown a lot! I can't wait to put them outside!

wow! jessica they look great!!

i dont think the leafs are all that poisonuos, i had a few rub on my hand and so far im ok *thumbs up*

YAYYY Jessica!!! They look very happy !!! Your doing good!!!

one more week and i can plant outside!!

Cool Sybil!! They will really be happy in ground and take off !!!

Your brugs look really good Jessica! Do you know the names of the Brugs and colors?

yep diane! i cant wait to put them in the ground, there was a big diffrence in them just for putting them in the greenhouse! they have lots more leaves now, i leave the door open in the daytime, to help them get use to the outside weather, so far they love it, their realy gonna love it outside! i seen how yours realy took off when ya put em outside! so i cant wait!!

Hers are pinks that I sent.Frosty pink/unknown pink and a seedlingpink.mine are starting to perk up better fineally.and the ones the dogs trampled are re sprouting.Another charles trunk has buds they'll bloom soon.this is one that has black-eyed-susan vine growing on it(its just wrapped its first loop on trunk!)I planted what i think was sunray piece that dog trampled and I just stuck in water.

lake has dropped 9 inches.No fish today.fishing report LIED!

Mine are reallly growing with all this rain we've had!! I can't wait to see the blloms on the ones you sent Njoynit!!

Yeaaah I've heard about those fishing reports !! arrrrrgh!!

Yes you been HOGGING the rain....so am sure yours have grown MORE than mine.

They said fish would be hitting at 3:30 today.we we're their at 2(We actually wantred to hear what the cop was saying across the lake...so went early)The TURTLES we're not even hitting.I'm going in the tube tomorrow. I figured out what 3.12 inces of rain does in 7 acre lake,but is runoff too,but it rose on pier 16 inches& is down 9.It may go down more cause I cleaned stuff off top of drain.I got this neat lookin frog lure he's about size of thumb nail.i wish he had a 2 prong hook,but didn't wish that till fished with it(well we practiced tossing today)

My leaves on brugs are greening up more on a few.I did acid fertilizer last 2 runs.Paul james says that you can use a camillia /azealia/gardenia fertilizer for calcuim& magnesuim defientcys.So I'll see how frosty does with the change& do the other one the way have been with epson salts.

My computer still refuseing to do web pages.seems web pages not connected to internet.......

WElll Kinda hogging it BUt along with the rains came terrible storms!! Rains should be your way again soon We're getting more in the next few days!!!

I should be able to put my brugs out now and I will just watch to make sure it is not going to get too cold at night for them! I need to get some bigger pots so I can transplant them all! I bet they will grow a lot after I do that!

Oh yes Jessica they certainly will grow!!!!

Here is an update of a few of mine All of these are unnamed Pink from Njoynit

The one I put in the pot has really gotten a lot of new leaves and has filled out!!


ANd this one in the ground has certainly gotten taller and put out new leaves towards the bottom!!!


This one has developed a "y" on both sides of the main stock!! YAY!! and it has filled out too!!

When I took mine out to harden off eventually was leaving them Out all night when it was in the 40's at night


NOw I am waiting on buds to develope!! I hope I get some this summer!!!!

Diane - those are all looking so nice and green and healthy!
I especially like the one in the pot - I can't wait to see them all bloom - I am soooooo jealous!!!

lookin greate diane!
i planted all mine outside today, cant wait to see them take off.

Wow Diane! Yours look great! I put mine outside this weekend because it has been very warm. I need to go and get some bigger pots now so they have room to grow!

This is seedling pink.It has one in darker color now.(I'll snap& come back)These we're took day it opened Friday night.these 3 are gone now.Its had 3 more open and one due to open tonight.We've been in 90s last 3 days(Monday was 94.6 I was not ready)






Thats part of my cedar tree that Rita took..i miss that tree too.Especially in summer.

Very nice njoynit! Can't wait for mine to look like that!

Here are more blooms.........AND my unknown pink.The unknown pink is what's sprouted from roots.Love them nice large leaves!

Oh Njoynit ! they are gorgeous!!

very pretty!
mine are loving it out side, ill be watching for the Y!

I have had mine outside for over a week now! The only problem that I am noticing is that the tips of some of the leaves and drying up and breaking off! Do you know what could be causing this? I have lost a few leaves too! Not sure what I am doing wrong?!?

Oh, those are so pretty, wow.

Are the leaves that drying up....the ones that we're formed indoors? you could strip the leaves off.it will grow new ones,then hopefully those comeing back in will have no problems.They useually loose the leaves formed indoors.I useually keep my lower leaves picked off up till it 'Y's.

My ones in ground returning.some have 'Y'd Frosty has grown quiet a few trunks so some will be cut& rooted.seedling is still blooming(uploading soon)I can see the differance with useing acidic fertilizer.the leaves are much greener.Need to take the PH meter out for a walk.I'll be glad when something other than pink blooms.

Yeah it is the leaves from inside njoynit! Should I strip them off?

strip them off.The new ones will come in.So what size pots you have them in now?

Here's seedling pink.still blooming.has a bud formed to open.I just added some rocks around this stump yesterday.I moved a pair of daylilly divsions into it also.I'm thinking of moveing my white picotee dwarf JMG to base of brug.




I've also got some purple jew pieces to shove in here as well.
And got buds growing on other brugs!I feel the urge to fertilize...............

I went to Wal-Mart to get big pots and it was Mother's Day weekend and they were all out so I have to go back there and get see if they have more! So, they are in gallon pots right now until I can find bigger!

I will strip the leaves then and see what they do! Thanks for the advice njoynit!

Plants are STILL growing.You'll notice unknown pink grew alot.Mine average 2 ft growth a month.
I've got a BES vine growing on my Dr suess.It has fineally 'Y'd & needs to get on with it.I've also left a peice of vine on ground wondering through the marigolds.yes they work well.That plant actually gets NO bugs whatsoever.

Unknown pinks blooms
& frosty pink
And a lil frog that seems to like hanging out with unknown pink.he's their daily& has family around the pond.







Betty White will open in the next few days& be the 1st bloom in pond bed.

frosty& unknown pink this morning.

The 1st photo is a 6 pointed flower off seedling pink (Butterfly X Whiskers) 5 pictures of betty white in bloom on of my new cuttings I recieved in the fall from Carrie.And a shot of frosty pink in bloom.

I forgot to mention.Betty Marshall is a suav type.

Very pretty njoynit! Thanks for sharing!

Unknown is in bloom again.sure is growing good this year.this will proably reach 8-9 feet this year again.



I got 3 of the new ones that have 'Y'd out in the hexbed,just slow about getting buds started.Betty Marshall has started forming another set of buds for end of the month blooms(Betty doing good for a fresh 1st season cutting too)

Cypress Garden& Knightti......are engulfed in other flowers and have not 'y'd.is a oklahoma rose hideing with them too.guess I let that butterfly bed take them over.But unknown pink smells SOOO wonderful.I wish frsoty pink smelled as strong.

Wah ......

My brugs seeds didnt work at all.
Congrads are in order ......YOur a keen person.

Thanks for showing .

wow njoynit looks awsome!!!

Absolutely Awesome Njoynit!! All my brugs are getting taller and taller some are fuller some aren't ! A couple of them took a beating with all the rain we had and the leaves turned yellow and dropped off But they are coming back!! Yippeeee,, (Note toself: Don't forget to give them a good feeding this weekend!}

you just reminded me to feed mine diane
no y yet, but ill keep watching

Christy Do you have any recent pictures of your brugs??

ill try n get a pics tomarrow, :} hopefuly the cam is willing to work for me. dag thing got a mind of its own.lol, waaa :}

the name sticks got lost i got them growing along the bank along side the forth-bush. they get the best sun and soil there.

frosty pink& seedling pink.I'm ready for non pink blooms.





This is the seedling pink trunk I wintered over.The one wintered in ground looks better.the cats have bout ate up the foliage.I think its attracting them,but only this brugmansia& butterfly got munched some.
Dr Suess(2 plants)& daydreams have buds.pink perfection too.

That is so cute Brugs......Bet you spend lots of time gocking there..
b

I think i've spent more time with seedling the last 2 weeks.I keep removeing eaten leaves all day long& everytime I walk past it it has another cat munching.My others are notheing like it& they leave the tray of seedlings alone.I did sit in pool room the othernite beside window.....just to smell it.the fan in window draws the smell inside later at night...course could have been the crinuims too...lol or 4 pms..it all just mingles at night.

Thst sounds sweet and enjoyable..

Glad you had some fun smelling.

b

My neighbor has a Brug.....I just noticed tonight and she said she'd give me a cutting!

You lucky dog.........Lady in maryland gave me the seeds......Guess I should of kept them till spring ......

They are gorgous.. DO they get really large like the datura? I mean the plant itself?

b

wow! thats great loz!

njoynit your look great! you have the best luck with brugs:}

No I don't......My buds dropped on Daydreams this morning I just LOOKED at them yesterday.All 3....gone It's a pink anyway.but a double...I've not seen before.BUT Dr Suess still has buds.One plant has 2 the other has 3 and the potential of more And this 1st flush will be lighter in color cause will be earlier in season.Its always been after Aug for Dr Suess to bloom.Ones a trunk cut wintered over That 'Y'd this spring,the other a re sprouting,but relocated it this spring.so this one will look more yellowish turning orange than the fall colors(which I love.)One plant is grown in more shade& it don't wilt in the afternoon(as its not getting baked tx style)

everyones plants look great!

Don't cry...........I dont have any Brugs at all.....;o((((((((

Ok what's the difference between brugs and angel trumpet? I had(several yrs ago) a purple people eater from some catalog. It looked like the pictures I'm seeing here. Last yr. I found a plant over my bank blooming what looked like that same plant. I transplanted it to my garden. It blooms at night. They are purple and white. I'm not sure if this is a brug or angel trumpet.
Diane

Dauntras flowers are like devils trumpets,they point upwards& a few may hang horizontal.(Diane grows a whitemoonflower bush dauntra.)They come in mostly white& yes.is a purple people eater dauntra.even a few doubles& triples.I grow a yellow double dauntra.

its just burried this year in 4 pms.their seed pods are round and swell and are spiney spikey looking.The plants themselves vary as to hardiness,but grow wonderful in fertile moist soil.I also grow stramonium which has small flowers white with purple throat.The smell reminds me of them smartty candies.The metals are the best growers.

Brugmansias flowers hang downwards& are hardy to zone 7 otherwise brought indoors& grown in pots(or grown in ground then wintered in pots).blooms in white/peach/yellow/pink shades& comes in doubles& singles.Look more tropical& have exotic blooms that smell great and some change colors as they open.flowers are pendent& seeds if pollination occurs are beanlikeseedpods.

your dauntra could be cornupocia if its a double
caerlea dauntra is a single light purple.
most brugmansias are called angels trumpets&dantras called devils trumpets.The differance is how the flowers hang.both are fragrant both open at night.

Don't let the Angels and the Devils get together......


;o)

Njoynit I Love your Yellow Dbl Datura!!! Love it!!

I haven't given an update in quite a while Because all the rain we've had gave my most of the brugs major spider mites and yellow leaf drop The one in the pot was practically bare stock.. I was just sick about it!! I have been nursing them back to health with plenty of fish emulsion and superthrive, and Peter's fertilizer. :ding:


Plants and flowers sure do love ya back don't they!~
I have discovered last night Charles Grimaldi is Thanking me Very very much!! I'm thinking it should open tonight or tomarrow!!




More pictures next post...........-->

You guys are making me crazy...I've GOT to have some brugs... ...Is it too late to put some in my yard--we probably won't get our first freeze until late Oct.

Njoynit--have you tried sprinkeling black pepper on/aaround your plants to keep the cats off??? We used that trick several times to keep cats out of their favorite places in my yard.

I did an update with pictures earlier today and I said when the Charles Grimaldi Bloomed open I would take a pic ..


Here it is!!!!!!!

............... :mad: :mad:..
Welcome to the club........gardenermom..........
i dont have a Brug growing....COuld do the seed eithere....

SOmeone just sent me a cutting, IF mine doesnt root.......I lost $4.60....

Prayers pleasde.

Okay I came home from work today I saw this!!!!!!!!! I forgot Njoynit said they change to their tru color After it has completed opening as far as it will go!! I like this Much better then the pictures I posted above!!!

When I looked up Charles Grimaldi Brugs this is more like what I saw,,

Whhhew I'm glad you told us that Njoynit I thought I might have wrote the Wrong name on it!! HAHAAHHAHA





I had to lay down on the ground to get this pic,, This brugs isn't even 3ft tall yet,,

Here's one. Not sure if it is a brug or something else. I tried to get the pic while opened. Missed it. They seem to only last one night. I'm not much of an early bird, but I'll try to get one open. I was surprised to find this one as small as it is blooming. There are others, larger.

It seems to be blooming upward Diane That would make it a datura! and looks like a purple datura!! ( Brugs hang down) It looks like it would have a gorgeous ,!!!!!!!!!!!

Diane - that bloom is absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing it with us - I'm jealous!

wow! diane your brugs are beauitful! so healthy lookin! the blooms are sooooooo pretty!
yours too njoynit! liked your scarcrow.

I envy the yellow.......Or any color of Brug.......
I dont have one.
THat is so neat..Boy they take lots of room huh?

b

Diane--that's absolutely beautiful!!

I've been watching around town, and haven't seen any brugs in peoples yards. Thought I saw one, but it had daylilly type leaves--maybe some type of amaryllis--also not seen much around here.

for dodge's brug!!!!

Buzzy--That DOES look like a datura--my purple one has wider leaves. It has some buds on it now. They look like okra!!

Thanx 4 Brugs ......

buzzy that is a dauntra. Dauntra Stramonuim.Tatula.It has smaller flowers than the other dauntra.they are kinda white with purple centers.are some with a liliac tint to the flowers liliac le fluer.The flowers rarely open completly,but are still pretty and smell good.those spikey seed capsels will have anywhere from 300-500 seeds EACH.they smell like smartty candy.I moved mine this year to a spot at back of my cacts bed.I want it to reseed here. it gets lots of hummer& hawkmoths too.


yep charles changes colors.he looks different in the fall.so does Dr Suess.
My charles is being stubborn.The one thats bloomed....hasn't since April.The ones that not 'y'd still hasn't 'y'd but the BES is growing very well on it.where my other BES vine in a shadier spot is barely growing and not even flowering yet(maybe it needs an overdose of fertilizer?)Charles needs to get his butt in gear in my yard and do something.He ALAWYS wants to wait till the fall& I get 1 maybe 2 flushes.I tried cheating!I took a trunk a cut and it bloomed in April.Its not growing buds.the others not 'y'ing.jean pasco is still not 'y'd.oh and seedling pink original plant.i'm thrilled with it.its fixing to bloom the 1st time and grew almost 5 ft before it 'y'd...the flowers will hang above the B&B salvia....just wait.It'll be this week too.maybe even on my anniversery...............

I've not checked the buds on daydreams yet today.They we're still curling yesterday& SIL thinks they'll stay and grow.I just know they will curl up and falloff& drop...maybe they want hotter weather.will be 90s today,drier air too.It was awesome this morning.it was 62!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I never feel 60s in July.It was 67 yesterday...nice ,but today rocks.its 72 now on way to 92.Diane Daydreams is suppose to be darker pink.Its a double.maybe I'll give it some beer.

here are a few shots from other years.
1st 2 are charles in november after the hurricane.dr suess is blooming in background of 1st picture.
Dr suess 2 more times.
then Dr suess in 2004 and a winter bud coloring from fall colors.This was took December 2 2004 we got frost the following day.I got blooms till dec 9th on unknown pink cause I covered with a ladder and blanket so I could enjoy the last flush...till the end








and a shot of the pond bed that year.Thats unknown pink at back pond.It was taller than the arbor and reached 9 ft.





And you see charles fall coloring(And Dr Suess too).

Charles April 26 this year.

My brugs are still growing but not buds yet. I think I need to get some fish emulsion. That seems to be working for Diane and njoynit! I have been feeding them but haven't given them fish emulsion. I will take some pics tonight and show them to you!

Beautiful and I love your little kids garden decor. That is adorable.

I cannot figure out why this plant is stated to be so poisonous why every bug in the world think it is a super salad.

Bahhhhhhhhhh
Bubch of Bruggy people........ for brugs

yes but sometimes I flip the leaves over.....and find dead bugs.but yet won't kill them locust grasshopper things.



Dodge.I'll have plenty of cuttings this fall& am thinking of removeing a few 'plants' from the ground that have multiples of(like seedling pink whiskers X butterfly cross.)I really don't need 4 of same plant in ground.then have 2 frosty pinks.and if charles don't get his act together he'll be replaced(and will go to a different family likely goldness kornett,an aurea type)I won't have much on my new aquired cuttings unless they've grown more,then got that nugget of versicolor orange....and its 4 ft,while the cutting is barely 2 ft.



My yard smelled good last night.Ya'll would be proud of BIL.He figured out all on his own that unknown pink was the one putting out all that smell& that it covered frosty pinks 3 flowers that we're open.I even tried telling him was the 4pms too...he didn't miss a beat.said no thats a different smell& you don't smell them when near the unknown pink,told me to stand on sidewalk...said only smell I get is unknown pink.but he's a bad boy too.He tried to close a flower up on one of them night hummerbird moths...said he was shutting the door.....Dianne the blush is neat when it starts on the flowers.I seen one last night about 9 pm it was still all white but the edges of bloom we're starting to turn pink.looked like blush.I was doing pictures of other creatures& got some good shots last night and then missed a good shot cause didn't have camera on me.


That lil kid deco....is the ONLY ONE my dog has not destroyed...well he's hubbys dog.He's worse than a kid.

njoynit......

Let me know when your cutting up as long as it isn't after middle of september.

thanks.......I wish I wish ..

ok dodge.I'll let you know.

That bud is still curled,but its growing.

I'm excited cause we will be getting rain for like a solid week.my nice dry weather was brief and now back to muggy steamy humid(but only 84)they don't even give the day expireing of flood watch watch anymore...they say 'till further notice or warning ends' and the other famous line'no change in decrease of flooding expected'( the flooding is closer to hubbys work on the Trinity river in Liberty co than here)

I'm just gonna wait on my 60% increaseing to 70% this afternoon of periods of heavy rainfall.I get to test my roof.(still trying to stop a few rita leaks)now testing aluminum coating,cause that roof patch crap just didn't make the cut.I presure washed the deck yesterday(and some plants...lol)I was feeling buds yesterday trying to guess who'll bloom 1st Dr suess or charles..charles feels fatter dr feels thin,but had bud longer.But they got watered well cause forgot was doing the drop run hose thing so hex bed got very well watered for 3 hours.(plus the grass around it..lol)

Send some rain.....
