Very Pretty

Thanks Susie never knew how much fun seeds are.

yours is from seed ?? how long did it take to grow from seed ? I Have raised Brugs for the last 3-5 yrs just the same color LT Pink had a white one but it didn't make it over the winter lost many last year in my friends Basement I Just live in a 24x24 home so not allot of room but my friend has a huge basement & This year we are going to put in a gas heater just in case the power gose out we can have some Light heat for them last yr we lost power for 2 weeks .
we just have a Light pink so I hope to find more colors for my gardens Never have seen a dbl or triple or grown from seeds .
yours are very pretty .

Susie I have one thats a cross of Miss Oct I named and another from that cross I need to name and third one from that cross has never flowered have not given up on it though. It usally takes close to a year sooner if you got the fertilizer right. It is alot of fun growing seeds I picked a pod yesterday from Rosalie x Sweet Fantasies should be some sweet babaies your more than welcome to try your hand at it with some of these seeds.

if you have the time to explain when & How to plant them I'm always open to learn & love to try a few U say these are crosses that you have done from your plants right ? Just let me know if you would like postage would love to try this JLMK

mkb,that's a nice one.I remember Dalen's Pink from years ago.

Hi send me your adress and i will get them off.

Hi send me your adress and i will get them off. Yes JT to many have went to the way side beautiful flowers kicked to the curb for latest and greatest my theory is if they look good perform good there all keepers. You Pink Velvet has been here for years out performs most keeper for sure!

@deejay49 - Growing Brugs from seed is very easy. I start them in February or so in my basement but they can be started later. This year I started about 10 from seed in June outdoors in my pretend Greenhouse. They are about a foot tall now and I will move them to my basement in a day or so. I have a basement setup, but a window would work fine. Just start them like any other seed I started some Arborea from seed in Feb 14 in my basement and it is now > 6' and has 3 buds very close to bloom. Hope it blooms before I have to move it in, but no big deal. My other brug a NOID creamy yellow had 22 blooms when I brought it in last year.

@mkb136 - That Pink double at the top is beautiful. Is that the one that set seed? If you still have some extra seed, I would love to try them for postage or whatever as well. Thanks

When you said "Susie I have one thats a cross of Miss Oct I named and another from that cross I need to name and third one from that cross has never flowered have not given up on it though."

You have 3 plants grown from seed from one cross that has resulted in 3 completely different blooms? The individual seeds take on different qualities from each other? I am still learning - heh.

David the top pic is the cross I grew out. If you would like a few seed send me your address and I will get them off.

That is the one that took my breath away. Last year I had a cream triple Datura that was a show stopper.

Thank you for the kind offer.

WOW Thank you David for the info I Guess if I can find a few seeds here & There I should try to plant them I've been trying to find anyone who might have a triple Yellow Datrura seed they are so pretty . would love to try them .

Mine were cream triple. I planted some last year and one shot up and bloomed by July 4th. This year I had problems growing from seed (many, many things) - guess the weird weather. Everything has struggled - including that Datura. Maybe I will see it bloom in my basement.

If I can find the seeds - I will let you know. At this point I have no idea where they are. Send me a mail to remind me.

You can really see Dalens Pink on this one

@mkb136

Thank you - received today. You are most kind. Will start them in my basement in February.

I am not sure whether you labeled the plastic pack or if it was old ink. Anyway, it smeared inside the outside envelope and was not legible. Okay - those were the seeds from the bloom shown at the top of the page? For my records, what was the cross? I can't decipher it from this thread. Is this it? Dalens ink x Volkie

Thanks again. Hope to return the favor some time.

Your welcome... this cross is Rosalie x Sweet Fantasies it was a old bag i had I put them in.

Git ya. Thanks again. Look forward to growing it next season.

A follow up question please as I have not grown Brugs to maturity that are crosses from seed. When the plant matures will it revert more to one of the cross parents or will it look like the pics?

When you cross pollinated the parents, do you use a Q-tip? Further, after you manually do the pollination, do you protect them so no further pollination occurs? I really am learning.

MKB Just wanted to let you Know I rec'd the seeds but there again Like David the Marker was Blurred & could not Make out the names on them.
is this what you send ? Rosalie x Sweet Fantasies ? want to thank you for sharing this is a great group learning new things every day TY

Yes Susie those are the seeds used old bags you should get some pretty flowers from these.
