Ohhhhhhhhh Good!! glad you liked the stickers!



I believe the site I posted said depending on the season will the color differ in darkness It showed Dr,S blommed in spring summer and Fall I believe, I believe temp and Sun Exposure per hours in the day affects it's bloom color it's only slight but I'm thinking in the summer it would be somewhat darker in color tho the same color just darker,, Because of longer hours and more intense Sun

on that link you can click on the pictures Mannnnn that DR.S trees is huge and gorgeous! They also have a strong Fragrance,,, Do your blooms smell really good??

Diane, I went out this afternoon late while the flowers were open and they do smell good. Not over whelming but sweet. I got Johnny to take a snif in case it was the power of suggestion and he said they do smell sweet.

I grow Dr Suess.so Dianne,your set for that one.

I'll have to look around my e mail files.I sent Bonnie brugs& I got Jamica yellow from her,But I should have what she offered after her e bay sales from 2 years ago& she DID have mega tons of dr suess cuttings,I think the other orange one she had was miama glow& she had some un unowns too.Jamicia yellow can throw some shredded flowers too and the shredded's won't smell.My jamicia yellow has not got buds this year yet,but does look alot better.it does have short flowers,but can't recall how they hung.She had charles G also.I just can't remember the rest off top head.

some of my brugs are in full sun.frosty pink is in full sun,but is mulched.Its 12 feet tall with 7 trunks.I bet If I'd have kept it to 2-3 trunks it would have been 20 ft tall.It did like LOTS of water 3 times a day.I've had to put a bungie cord on its trunks cause they we're wanting to spread out from the weight.I've had to do the same on unknown pink too.it gets full sun too,but is only about 9-10 feet.I'm really dreading all this cutting.I bet I use my saw saw more than the clippers.

Bolero x AQ is still been dropping more buds than blooming...so after 6 buds dropped off ..........I've got one working on opening.which after the last bloom,which 3 dropped then got a bloom then 4 dropped....I'm understanding why she got culled!
Monika is blooming right now& the blooms are weighing the branches down.someone took my fishing pole tips when they realized what I had planned to do them!(I was going to tape to branches and stick a pole in ground to tie off the branches too....BIL is a party-pooper...but Kalui makes us do strange things...not to mention hot Dam)so her apperance is...well as-is.

Daydreams is blooming,but they don't look too hot.I hoped they'd look better as the temps cooled down some.Maybe this one ain't for TX.

[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/njoynit/Brugmansia/Daydreams/Oct212007daydreamsplantshot.jpg[/img]


My Creamsickle has a bud forming...and logee's orange has a bud forming and will bloom this week.Dr suess will bloom again tonight..charles G has 2 blooms about ready.Betty marshall has buds almost ready.I've learned my pollinateing problem is my temps!I'm too HOT.so at least I grow them well!One of my seedlings looks good.Its Versicolor peach x Vixen.It site right under Daydreams.Versicolor peach X mountain Magic don't look bad either.since the temps have gone down a wee bit...they've perked up....and the headless seedling that lost its tag....is growing again.I'm culling the rest of the no tags& keeping those left far from Duke.He's not as bad about my plants now.I think he's got the hint from me popping him a few times...very hard headed dog.and his mom,dutchess is pregnant...due Thanksgiving Day.I'm so GLAD we will be getting her fixed.I wished I counted her days the day I went to breed her BEFORE breeding.

I'm starting to move some things in so not doing it all at once.cause will cutting BRUGS soon as they finish flushes.I'm sitting here pricking out epi seeds so Diane can have rest of pod.My camera has had a major malfunction.I fineally found the book to it and tried the re set button and have a code of a 'irrereversable damage has occured' refer to page 93 which tells me if repeatedly re seting reset button don't resolve problem,find nearest service center....after 4 days of no CAMERA.I bought a new one from geeks and its arriveing in 3-5 days.It shipped yesterday.A ploaroid 6.1 MP and it has TWO video modes.so now my pictures will look even better!I took some photos with the sony in its malfunctioning mode...it has no flash or video mode right now.
Betty marshall is in bloom.
Bolero x AQ dropped its lone bloom after lasting a whole 11 days!It threw a triple,though camera was not FUNCTIONING for that& this morning after 11 days she dropped off.I think it came close to haveing a quad,but did not look formed all the way,but will cut open before going to town.My dropping disaster smells good durring day but that drop issue is annoying.I plan to dig the whole thing for GH and see what she does over winter with cooler temps & maybe try some pollon.Jamicia yellow has decided to grow some buds....and will likely drop them when I move her.I might move her from ground today so can keep some bud not there yet.
Dr suess has had a bloom last 8 days,edges slightly browned,but its still opening.

If you look back at sept's bloom pics....you'll see how much Bolero x AQ grew in a month.
Diane,so you know...I want snowcone cuttings.I still have your christmas cacti cuttings in the shot glass too.And I've forgot what colors they we're too.I'm going to guess ones not red as the edges aren't sunburned.

njoynit, you have some beauties. Would you like to trade some cannas for a double bloomer. The only new brugs I got this year was Axle rose, Maya, Sanguinea if these intrest you I could take cuttings but they would be green cuttings. I have Herrenhauser Garten that I have had for 3 yrs it is 7' tall and has the Y but has not ever bloomed. I am ready to shoot this thing. LOL

I'll take some Double purple dauntra dianne,I know its something growing in the front yard around a tree with the coneflowers.Maybe its bergamont?I've had a few drinks over the summer.I was going through my bottles earlier getting discusted cause they all have only 2 or 3 drinks left in them...meaning its time for a trip PAST the county line to the middle of next county.I told Russell he needed to go scrap yard this week.We pass 2 liquir stores that way.I can re stock my tequilia& I think I want some rum.

cinta
let me go through my trade list tomorrow.If I have to.....I'll sacrifice some of my pink perfektion (I was keeping a trunk to root to see blooms as its not 'y'd yet)I got axel rose on my WANT list.I LOVE guns& roses.I'm wanting twisted sister too so can have a 'rock garden'.I'd like Maya too.I lost shirleys over the winter.

I got a POD forming.I found it on limb was cutting for shipment this morning.I freaked my neighbor out....she thought I was running from snake...lolShe came running to rescue me in housecoat with her mop.

[Linked Image]

I crossed 4 flowers on unknown pink with Betty Marshall.I think this was the one I left the pollen in when done dabbing.I'm so hopeing it will still form rooting in water.I learned last month Its not me haveing problems with pollinateing....its my climate.I'm too hot...so my chances are better in fall& early spring.I got my new camera today...but think the pods got me more excited.Anyone else& they would have thought I was crazy.Addie is nuts about plants like me...so she just thinks I'm normal haveing a great day.shes who got the seedlings my dog dumped that lost the tags.so shes excited she can grow a few seeds of this....away from my dog of course...lol and know where they came from.

logees orange again getting darker.

I'll go look through them blooming month photos,but not today.I need to work in yard.I grew your moonflower seeds.one of the plants bloomed & Brenda might take my smaller plant to try crossing with a brugmansia.someone has successfully crossed a dat with a brug.I'm on the list to trial seeds.


I had a POD form and found it after I cut the stem!here is another shot of it in kitchen.
[Linked Image]

I'm hopeing it will keep,but its iffy...BUT know I can hybridize now!so I'll proably dig more plants for GH...for that very purpose now.

I'm waiting for darkness so can go play with my camera and its settings.I'll proably run my batterys down,but will be fun all the same.sunsets at 5:35 so by 6 I'll be playing.

sherri,when I further north in east TX I would take a bucket and stuff with leaves and place the bucket over the plants roots leaveing about 1-2 inch stub above ground. pine needles will work good too. The woody parts should be fine as they would have matured more. The greener stuff will proably turn to much. so get them cut and rooting and we'll see how they go. I was a 7b zoner then.And when you get freezes...water you plant in ground good the day before...it will make the ground freeze slower.


My pod is still holding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can mail canada.pack the boxes with newspaper...something to insulate. I mark the forms as crafts-gifts for CANADA. I understand the $$ tight part. I just mailed out $70 of plants shipping cost,plus took me 4 hours to pack all those up. its really time consumeing when you do alot of them up. The woodier cuts will travel in cold areas better.You can use those one time use hand warmers when someone don't grab them off counter..or newspaper if someone don't take it to pack dishes. noprmally I like to wrap the cuts in newsprint. I actually used diapers...and I had a dream last night that kenny put those diapers on his feet as slippers and was running down his sidewalk slideing. I woke up laughing & couldn't get back to sleep.

I got blooms in GH.....gameroom as creamsickle & laundry room has dr suess trunk...with 3 blooms.I took pollon from those to dab in GH and dried the other 2. I did some as trunk cuts,till got some cuttings out of way. I still have a jug of trunks to cut up in kitchen. I've not got around to pictures yet. I just got caught up online. I got to take pups to vet to get stitches out& going to lowes,walmart & hope somewhere to eat. I'm going to try re doing things in ?GH...i ran into a problem...i've got a 10 ft brug plant i dug and its got some blooms opening tonight that I can't REACH.I can't fit a ladder either& my bucket...just ain't cutting it. I can't pull the limb lower cause its OVER a rafter. But HEY it smells good at night& I like the way Whiskers x Butterfly colors up in winter in there.

It was funny enough to wake me up laughing.

I was actually more busy sending cuttings out last year,but didn't send this many out in one day.Its definately NOT a habit sending 14 boxes in one day.I actually got a partial taste of what its like to have a JOB packing& shipping plants for a day...well at least 3 hours of it.

i'm updateing my media player so can use my MP3 player....then will go visit photobucket& be back.

I mailed you yesterday Diane.Here's info on your TOY!

no but some hold up better in water than others.It just makes it a lil harder wrapping for packing if the roots have just started?like when are 1/4 in- 1/2 inch. I seen ya already had cooler weather.your haveing 40s while I'm down here sweating in upper 70s& the rain showers have made real it muggy.We won't get cooler till Wensday and your getting more rain than us.

I have 21 blooms in the GH then creamsickle has its bloom on porch railing(day 12 but looking shabby on edges) I got 4 more blooms for tonight 2 Dr suess 1 betty marshall 1 whiskers x butterfly.And my AC is running on day 2.

Well All the brugs I had in ground has been cut back and topped with leaf filled buckets to over winter,, That was a killer to cut them all back, boohoo



I have mailed off many starts to a lot of you here,, and taking the rest of the starts to work to let them get theirs share as well/ This has been a great year learning about brugs and watching them grow into the beautiful blooms they have presented to me!

Njoynit>>>>>>>>>>>>>


I have questions for you..


why are some of the cutting peeling their skins after placing in water??


Even tho I change the water every day some of them are getting mold or fungus,, can I cut it again and start again with those pieces??


And sadly I think I have lost the two pieces of day dreams you sent,, boohoo tears tears tears

I hope NJOYNIT hurries up and answers your questions, Diane - a couple of my cuttings have peeled, and one got so mushy I just had to throw it out just now. tears

BUT... I did pot up most of the other cuttings this afternoon! clap thumbup
Most have at least one teensy leaf growing out of an old leaf spot. bop
Here's crossing my fingers that they continue to grow now that they are in soil.

I googled peeling brug, and one reseult said that loose skin indicates that the brug had frozen and thawed, and the person added it there is no hope for those :S The only ones that seem to fair the best are Charles Grimaldi (I remember some calling it the king of brugs) and frosty pink, maybe they're a bit more frost hardy? I have all my cuttings potted up now, and they're sitting on a heating mat (the seeds starting type) A few that Njoyinit send me are really leafing out now, and the ones Diane sent me are still hanging in. The top of some are starting to wrinkle, but I think they're supposed to do that. Most of the cuttings are nice and firm, the soft ones I had to toss, oh well. Hopefully they'll make it until June so I can put them outside!

Helping the world one seed at a time

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee
