WOA I CANT BELIEVE I SPELLED BRUGS - BRIGS
thats gonna annoy me !
here some pics of my brugs the first year. some i got as newbie gifts . thanks cat and gordon and auntb . some i bought from eddiewayne and jt. my cuttings all died to the dirt during the power outage . some are 6 ft now . most of them came back . im most smitten with harlot and shredded white oh and rubirosa . shredded white bloomed steady all summer . so did harlot . rubirosa i loved the scent on that one and the shape . my 4 dollar maya/sunset was a good buy lol .the awesomeness of these plants really makes me want to move somewhere warm .

harlot again.... do we still not have smell o vision
heres my 4 dollar sunset
shredded white was the strongest smelling one i have . the scent didnt fade in the daytime .
it was almost always double and more twisted than shredded
My oh my they sure are beautiful!
cherub was a gift from gordon . i was supper exited to get this in my newbie pack , it was as big around as my wrist , and survived a week of freezing in the dark . its covered in buds now and has such a nice form . huge leaves on a shorter plant .
OMGosh I know what my Cherub will look like now. Thank you for posting.
thanks hhlady .
i never knew what a brug was until i saw a picture in the rose forum of
calif sues back yard last yr.there was a brug hanging in the top of the pic. to not wanting to seem like i didnt know anything about plants i googled trumpet shaped flower and here we are. i just had to see that in person i thought they were so magical looking . every one kept calling the smell intoxicating . im all about having heavy scented plants around. i just had to smell the intoxicating smell every one called lemons and baby powder . how could that possibly smell good lol . it does.
cherub is healthy and such a nice one . the leaves are huge and the form looks so nice to me . it has a nice canopy

How will you winterize them? I have a sunset in a pot and am wondering if I cut it down and move it indoors will it be alright without much light? I could cut it back and put it in the garage with no light?

newton , my dh was supposed to build an indoor green house in the garage but fall is coming faster than he is planing . i told him if he dosnt get it built they will go in the house. all 13 . i put some in the ground that are 6 ft. lol they will be ok in the garage for a while . the coldest it gets in there is 38 . there is a winterizing brugmansia thread out there for other ways . basically they cant get below 45 and limit light and water . or at 50 they wont go dormant . mine did ok n the house last yr . they were much smaller . i dont know how to fit all these trees in there now remove the couch i guess . if it comes down to it ill put up plastic sheeting and staple it around to make a room . then get a small green house heater .
my brugs NEVER looked that good their first year. you have done a marvelous job.
thanks ... i did use the recipie a few times but the past few weeks ive been lazy and just threw some rose food on the top of the pots . i figured they needed something lol . they all had a first small flush but this second is bigger . shredded white didnt really have flushes it was more constant .
what recipe are you talking about? I need it!

i used it on everything , it made the tomatoes grow literally a couple inches over night . i dont tell any one that for fear of me sounding like im exaggerating . after i saw that i made some in a garbage can alfalfa tea style with the water added and poured it over everything .lol
i used kells recipie (scroll down) because i didnt have tea tree or kelp
thank you. I think I will try Kell's potion but I guess next spring? too late now, I guess.
how late in the year do people apply for bloom boosting? I'm not interesting in rooting, as it seems all I have to do is sit cuttings in water.
My first year also. Iris28 yours look awesome.
hey trouble . they are addicting . for me they would be more addicting if i could plant them in the ground.
vossner i dont know about how late , for me its time too stop fert .i would assume a few weeks before the first frost .if you get frosts . id love to live in z 9 even 8
I love them, need more colors. This is my only one so far, but I'm looking around. I guess I could put it in the ground without fear huh?
i guess as long as the lowest tems dont go past 40 youll be safe . how cold does it get'
