Thank You Molly !! No leaf drop!! I hope its red!!

Thank you for such a kind welcome RRM!! I covered mine with that same frost cloth and I don't think it has worked at all for the kind of temperature we received this year. I feel that some will come back from the roots but it will be late before they recover enough to have a bloom.

Jeri - Not all frost cloth give the same degree of protection. The very thin ones may give only 2º - 4º degrees of protection. Mine was rated to protect down to 24ºF. I could have purchased one that gave protection down to 23ºF, but it cost almost twice as much as the one I bought. It also cut down on the amount of light it admitted. Also note I didn't use the frost cloth alone. It is water permeable so on a cold wet almost freezing night, the cold temperatures are taken in with the water. Then when the air does freeze it is also transmitted by the wet cloth.

Robin - Your cutting appears to come from above the "Y". Take a look at the leaf ends where they meet the petiole. They are asymmetrical meaning they have transitioned from vegetative growth to flowering growth. Yours should bloom a lot sooner this year. The only truly red Brugs are the Brugmansia sanguineas. They are so coveted by many of us, but sangs will not bloom in climates where temperatures rise above 72º - 80ºF. They can literally die overnight. I have to enjoy their photos. If I start them in winter, they will thrive until mid-May when they can die within a day or two. I've lost so many, I feel like a sang killer.

Oh My...I am the perfect summer temp range for a sanguinea. May have to look for one and winter it indoors...hmmm

Arejay, looks like a small Y forming. It's very good promise of blooms. Have you ever had one to bloom for you yet? It is the exciting experience to have to wait for the Y , then you wait for the bud, still waiting for it to grow and finally the ultimate Bloom time. Seems to take forever but it is so worth it,
good Morning All.

I made it. It has been nothing but work lately but that's good too. I am so tired of this Winter. It has been 10 to 12 degrees cooler than normal almost every day for three months. I have lost so many cutting to rot this year, I just can not dry things out. Spring will be here soon and I will be planting so many new doubles in my new area I cleaned out last year, with lots of Hostas around them. Time for bath and bed, catch you later.

Brug not named yet;

Mine is going to bloom is that what you are saying? Seray are you here? Did you see that they say the one you sent is going to bloom!!!

I am so impressed with every ones beautiful Brugs. Hopeful my one and only pitiful specimen with florish with the help Charleen has given me. I look forward to posting a picture of mine in bloom this summer. : )

Oh Lynn if mine blooms anyone can do it!!

Oh how I ho[e to have a Brug bloom some day. I have a few that have been generously shared with me. a dew short and in the ground outside. Ssome others living (if that is what it's called) in my kitchen garden window. Many roots in the jars and nubbies, + a few tiny green leeflets here and there and one or two hat actually have sone nice sized leafs!! O can only hope that come spring they wil continue to grow for me. Ahh...the beautiful colors singles doubles, etc and the idea of experiencing the fragrance of any of them is such a wonderful dream.
You may a\have picked up on the fact that I am deffinately a Brug newbie...and very determined to be siucessful.Any that find their way to my home will have a very dedicated and loving mom.
Oh , and I will surely return or send ahed any postage.

Blessings and happy gardening!

If you have roots, you are on the road to Brugmasiaville. I like to root them in jars or bottles, you can see what is going on. Next step is to get them planted.
Kenboy, so very glad you made it. I sure was wondering there for a while. let's grow some brugs, Spring is around the corner and we are really ready for it.

Come and check out cubits first swap!

Here is a picture of one of my new (as of yet unregistered) brugs that just finished its second year in trial and has proven itself worthy of being registered.
She is a prolific bloomer with a wonderful fragrance. She is very heat tolerant (obviously because she is thriving in fort lauderdale) and not much bothered by the insects...

Beautiful!

I love the Tendrils, the way they curl up.
Beautiful....

OH! I love the longer flowers and the curly tendrils.. beautiful!

A really nice brug. I like the way the tendrils curl up also and it is a very nice shade of pink!!
