I love seeing all the brug pictures here. I'm excited now about a plant of mine that finally has a tiny 5/8" bloom starting to form. It is on a HerrenhauserGarten that I've had about 6 or 7 years. I bought it as a 10" barely rooted cutting from a nursery in Florida and have hauled it inside in winter and back outside in spring every year without a bloom. People have posted discouraging comments about it being very contrary about blooming.
I was new to DG then, didn't know anything about brugs except how beautiful they were and was willing to give it a try. It's is supposed to be a triple orange, has finally Y'd and immediately formed this 1 (or maybe 2?) buds. When it opens, if and ever, I'll post a picture because it's surely been a looooong wait - and I paid $20 for the short stick with a few roots so many years ago.
