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

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.....

I got it. Opened pic.

buzylady,

Fantastic job......
See your good and dont know it ....
I have that datura also.it closed in one day.

Smore smore

I like the le fluer one too.Its just like that but the flowers have a blueishpurple tint.thats a lovely shot.I've not took pics of mine like that.Thats stramoduim tatula.I've NEVER had it grow over 4 ft but they say it will grow 7 ft tall and wide.I do belive it will grow 7 ft wide.I took mine out of the flowerbed cause the bugs love its leaves(Guess my bugs are drug addicts or something,surprised it don't kill them,but they look ugly)Now I don' have to look at its leaves.I'm hopeing it reseeds here well for me.I've been opening spiney pods with pliers and twisting seeds out.(Don't worry I will still save seeds for fall fling)





This is seedling pink original plant from re sprout.It 'y'd at JUST the right point.The flowers hang over the B&B salvia this is what looks like flower grown in full sun.earlier shot a few replies up of same plant from cutting grown is softer pink,but it gets 5 hours of sun(if had sun right now it would be nearing a shade time about 11:30 till about 1-2 then back in sun 2 more hours.most its sun is morning sun.)

I got a bud poked out on charles.
My twisted buds are still growing on daydreams.
Dr suess has started to form 3 new buds& another plant of dr suess has 'Y'd

I need to make a new brug bed.I got my accidental cuttings from dogs/hubbys accidents.very tempted to start down my sidewalk...but KNOW a arbor is going over it in the future.

wonder how dianes charles is doing?

etc.

Njoynit The Charles G. is still bloomed!! I can't believe it!! I thought they only lasted a couple of days and it's been 5 days now!!!! Yipeeeeeeeee!!

I was going to take pics this morning (well the last couple days for that matter ) but I didn't get that done yet. Well anyways, I have 3 buds starting on one of my brugs! I am so excited! Can't wait till it blooms!

Jessica!!! fantastic!!!!!!!!!!! Wow yours budded up quickly, Njoynit must have sent you some wonderful cuttings above the Y ..

All I have is tall trees and leaves not one bud. Even the ones I wintered have not bud up yet. I am having a bad Brug year.

Want to see some pretty leaves LOL!!! My daughter brought me three new ones for Mother's Day

Snowbank - and also in the pot is Sanguinea (Red flower)



Axel rose - Peach flower with different shades of green to yellow leaves

!!!! jessica ya got buds!!! whoo hoo! :} thats awsome

Charles is in bloom
And guess tomorrow night is Dr'Suess night.I had a lot of flowers open on frosty pink tonight...

all on one side.Unknown pink is loaded.my buds are still twisted on daydreams.got a nice shot of seedling.I'm sorry everyone,but I'm just in brug-heaven.I got a 'Y' on 2 plants.versicolor orange& something that the tag faded on.And Diane's Strapeliad-carrion flower bloomed!the rain this morning broke one of the stems flowering.so Its in windowsill.I keep smelling it.the flower bloomed at base of segment that broke off.I guess it will stay in that basket.I enginereed a bread tie for support.
And we'll see Dr suess tomorrow night.He's never bloomed this early for me.I wish you could smell the yard.My MIL can smell it 219 ft away.I'll try to get a bloom count.

That is beautiful, but whats a Brug. We have some Angles Trumpets and the flowers look the same, but our plant looks totally different, ours grows like a bush.

Thats a brugmansia angeltrumpet in above pictures.the 1st is charles Grimaldi& the other seedling pink.a whiskersX butterfly grown cross.
Dauntras can be shrubby.flowers hang upwards not downwards.


here's Daydreams progress ....still twisted.I been singing it twisted sister songs.I caust it danceing too...lol

Very cool, I tried to attach a pic of our plant, but the drag'n'drop method didn't work, and its the only method I know. I guess we have some angel trumpets and some dauntras. Thanks for the info! We have some friends in Ohio that call 'em moonflowers.
