Eric oh, I'll be honest with you, I haven't a clue. I bought the first one because it was discount rack and it was in bad shape. I didn't know if it was going to make it. It took awhile before I got my first white bloom. I've been trying to find out the name because white is really rare around here. The second one I got was also discount rack save but it didn't come with a tag. This one is kind of fuschia with a wonderful scent. Its petty common around here so I should be able to find out the name. The last one I got is from a group I jokingly refer to as the New Orleans minis. There is Bayou Marie, Bourbon Street and Baton Rouge. I think there is more in this group but not sure. So I got Bayou Marie because it has the most beautiful pink flowers, which slightly darken when the temp drops. Anyway, I have yet to find a real red dwarf. They say they are red but its more of a dark pink. My secret is once the leaves have drop then don't prune them. I wait until I see new buds on the old wood in the late spring before I cut away any dead limbs. Last winter was one the coldest in over ten years. Most of the thick branches made it. I also mulch in the fall. All three are rated for zone 7 are suppose to die back to the ground but somehow they didn't get the message. I wish some school in the midwest would do a crape myrtle study to see which ones are hardy to zone 5 or possibly lower.

Boy time really got away with me. I'm been so busy with work and I just interviewed for a Masters Program at UT Southwest Medical here in Dallas, whew I'm exhausted! :) Here are the rest of my Brugs! :) I took these after work one day so they are a little darker than normal. Good idea, Eloise, about the markers. I had no idea that wasn't toxic to the plants. Thanks pkponder! Coleus was really easy to start from seed. I started a thread in the Container Garden forum, if you wanna check out the coleus progress! :) It'd be interesting to try different types of ferts but right now I'll stick with what I have on hand. I don't have access to any other fert than store bought ones... Yaslan, this is my first time growing from seed. I got a Wizard mix, which is a bunch of different types of coleus and I used pretty much the whole package and got lots of seedlings! Ashley

Ouch!I'm sorry I stirred up this mess. Hi Alice, I was the one that mentioned you had the beautiful brug seedlings of Monica Gottschalk. I started this thread. Several of us had been trying to find a source for some of her babies. I was drooling all over the place when I stopped by to look at some of your cannas. I love cannas and anything that looks tropical. Then I looked and you had brugmansia too, I just had to take a look. Those are some beautiful brugs you have there and the cannas are out of this world too. I saw my first brugmansia or angel trumpet October 6, 2007 I'll never forget it. With the wonderful folks here on this forum I have been able to obtain a few, learn about the brugs for sale on ebay. I have purchased more than a handful from several different vendors along with some brug seeds. Please let me tell you a little about myself and this site. I am an older lady, most of these folks on here are my childrens age or younger. I know very little about the computer and my memory isn't very good anymore. Yet these wonderful people on this forum are like family and I wouldn't trade any of them for a million brugs are all of Monika's Brugs. Please take a few minutes to get to know everyone here. We all share the same passion as you. We LOVE BRUGS, we love flowers, plants, and just talking to one another about what works best for us with all our plants. We are like one big HAPPY FAMILY and I myself would dearly love for you to become part of our BRUG family here on this forum. I hope that you don't think I'm being rude, that is not my intention at all. Since you have explained the situation about the brugs I'm sure everyone will be much more understanding. Besides, we will be some of the people buying your babies and what better than to have you here once in awhile to let us know what's going on with you and your latest brugmansias. I look forward to seeing you post here and helping us newbies learn more about brugs. I apoligize to everyone for starting this thread but now we all know we can get some of Monika's Brugs through Alice. Happy Gardening, Happy Brugging, and Happy Easter, Love Marian
