Brugs- what's blooming

15 years ago

Sharing photos of some brugs blooming right now.

(3 & 4) The orange one is of the one I posted earlier, in the last week or so (Diane Kearny hybrid 2006). This is the last one of the first flush and it is markedly orange-er than the first photos. Perhaps because we are now in the 80's during the day?

(2)Culebra has finally bloomed- I can't say it's pretty but it is unusual. Looks like, from the yellowing leaves, I need to back off on the water.

(1)Gemini is one Dweeb had sent to me several weeks ago. It is in standard form. It had blossoms on it when I took it out of the box and is having another small flush right now. What a pretty little 8" blossom........... and fragrant!!!!! My camera does not do white blossoms very good, so I can't show you how pretty her skirts are!

Thanks for looking! More to come, soon!

how beautiful. Hopefully I will have my first bloom soon. Probably just in time for me to go on vacation (isn't that the way it goes?)

Ah, the jungle!! Looks so lush there. Congrats on the justicia- it is beautiful and the white blossom is great contrast to the foliage. Your peach brug looks pink in the photos- does it change color as the weather changes? Very pretty! Karyn, sorry about your woes/disappointments- hope you're not waiting on brugs seedlings to bloom, too!

My Brug is not blooming!
Q
Comments (6)
Like...DUH!...I don't know why I didn't think about regular feeding! =:o My Brug is plunked in the middle of a garden full of elephant ears so bloom boosting just wasn't on my mind! It has been fed and I will keep it on a weekly schedule in the hopes that I will get to see blooms this year. Do you think there's still a chance? We don't usually have "cold" weather here until January. BTW, my Brug is planted in the ground so what should I plan to do for it in preparation for winter to ensure good growth again in the spring? And, if I'm going to move it to a "safer" location in my garden, when is the best time to do that?

I agree that the heat affect them setting buds, especially if they have to first Y and then set buds. Do yours come back from the ground or are you lucky enough to be where you can leave the stalks up over winter?

Lucky's orange is so pretty and it is a nice color for Halloween coming up too, lol. I like the rose. I got one called double delight last year that looks similar. I can't seem to get any good pics of the roses. I need to spray again too. I was just checking on the bloom from shredded white and it still hasn't dropped much. It looks like an alien coiled up in there. Didn't help that I found a green worm in the petals. He got smooshed since I couldn't pull off the whole leaf like I usually do. I hate touching them but I didn't want him to eat anymore of the bloom waiting on John to come smash him, lol.

Hey, ya'll, it was a PITA to keep these bloomers going thru the winter- you remember, right??? The broadmites, white flies, aphids, etc??? The rotted cuttings???
Sorry for bringing up bad memories but this is my reward!!! LOLOLOL!!!!

Would I do it again?- nope, everything but pod-parent plants are spending next winter in my basement!

Kylie, Gemini is really pretty- dainty!!!

BTW, I can't praise the soil my farmer friend makes, and delivers around town, enough! It's composted chicken litter mixed with Georgia red clay!

None of mine are big enough to bloom yet, so I sure am enjoying looking at pictures of those that are :)

Hey Brenda I feel the need for one of each of your babies. LOL The photos are breathtaking and Culebra is much more beautiful today than when you sent me the first photo.

I'm finding I just love the brugs with the long tendrils or whatever you call them. Neat looking! I do have several here blooming and a good many with buds on them. I can't wait to see what each one looks like. The plants that I planted in the full sun have tripled in size the last two weeks or so. Today I gave them all some well rotted horse manure. I hope they like it and don't turn their noses up at it.

Thanks for posting all the pictures....since I'll never be able to do so even with EVERYONES HELP".lol

Yelp, I'm pretty much hopeless.
Happy Gardening and may your gardens have abundant blossoms.
Love Marian

Not one bloom here ! Kylie and I are in the same boat. I have some just about to open, but not yet. Brenda, the orange is really nice. The Culebra is great also. How tall is yours (Culebra) ? Did it make the usual Y like the other brugs prior to blooming ?

Those are sooo nice. I can't wait until all mine start blooming. My Mountain Magic has huge green buds but the green part hasn't opened and started to push the flower out yet. I am dying to see this one bloom. None of my others have buds yet but hopefully soon because I finally got a few outside over the past few days.

You can cheat and open the bottom of one to help it drop faster, lol.

Fantastic blooms! I love that orange one, actually all three are beautiful. None of my rooted cuttings are big enough to bloom :-( but I did have my noid white, double white and shredded white bloom already. I noticed my noid pink has buds so that will blooms sometimes soon.

Nice flowers. Is the culebra completely open? Only the Maya blooming here so far but I've noticed buds on several plants. Everything is delayed here because it was unseasonably cold for such a long time. Almost everyday during Apr and May was about 20 degrees below normal. Thank goodness it's finally warmed up!

Nice pics Brenda! I was wondering also if the Culebra was completely open? All I've had as far as brug blooms here is one flush on a potted P&C. Most of mine are in the ground so it's still going to be a little while. I have some that have come up and are 5' tall and I've got 2 that just started coming up (?!) and are only about 2" tall.

I like the orange brug. You said that was a cross from the green-eyed brug right?
