a few of the letter avreviations relative to the brugs included.. or that were in the seed cross that the plant grew out from ....as many were from seed.. ...

AQ Appricot Queen
AM Angels Monlight
DDR DoubleDark Rosella
MM Magic Mountain

DB Dark Blue
VR Vivid Red
W White
Univ for a local brug with the working name of University White [a lovely grower]
I'm sure there were others... which I can't think of right now.. but I can answer the question of who it is if you'd ask here.. and I'll edit it into this list...
some had no tag on them... these were known types.. of premere brugs... that lost a tag between cutting/tagging... and shipping... NO ID's... not no goods
It's like a contest... for Brug cuttings
Payment...
Look at your shipping cost... include that amount and AT LEAST >>> $ 2 ..in addition to help defray the considerable costs involved...in materials and worker time... to make this possible .. or shipping + $1 a cutting whatever seems worth while to you
PAYMENT can be made to me through a check posted back to me or through PayPal

enjoy them all.
OH..Thanks to all for the prayers and good wishes for my surgery...went to the Dr. today..and he was happy with the results...as am I...

Ok... glad you are getting them.. and thanks to the ones who have paid already...postage and generous per cutting reimbursements from a few.... others sending a flat $2.. thanks..
I did haveabout 8 - 10 large trees... that I had no room for inside or the cool room... so I gave them to a nursery owner... to mae cuttings.. and to get them going in his shop with lights.. or stored in his temporary plastic greenhouse...he's a real piece of work...he had a bent metal greenhouse... with maybe 8 ft headroom... he mounted these bent metal supports on top of a 14' wall... made out of 2 X 10's...so now he had a greenhouse with a 22' ceiling for his 20' bird of paradise.. and his other tropicals... then other plants in three layers inside.. on shelving [ floors ] held up by the supportsof the 2 X 10's with 2 x floors for the big planters..
SO as I was passing these down to his guys... I see one is in flower... Adouble.. I had never seen flower before.. a seedling cross of RubriRosa X Vixen... then on looking at the flower.. I see a third skirt..already plasstered back aganst the outside of the flower... so perhaps a triple... Yes.. I took a big cutting of it for myself....
Gordon, check is on the way. Again, thanks so much. Feel like it's xmas! :)
Gordon-just pay pal/ed you. It is so great of you to share..thanks ever so much!!!..
Now..any special secrets for rooting?
I hope you were not carrying those trees out yet. You be takin it easy yet boy!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Are you having turkey??? I like ham but since I retired from cooking the feast..I guess I'll eat turkey - but at least its not crow.
Helen
Gordon
Thanks so much!
My wife just picked them up for me at the border, I am looking forward to seeing what goodies you've sent me when I get home from work today. I will send your payment via Paypal tonight.
Jim
Received my package, they are all so wonderful. I just transfered the money into the account so Friday I will paypal you. Thank you so much.
I do have a question, one of the cuttings had a loosely tied gold cord on it with no tag and an arrow (which I took to point at the top) would it have been tied to the one next to it so I would know they are the same? Gordon's best ever noid? I like noids, I have a yellow one that blooms all year, not much foliage, but the blooms are numerous and smell great, like lemon meringue. I can always count on it to bloom.
Hi Gordon,
Thank you again for being so generous to share your cuttings. I am sending paypal now, so please let me know you received it. I want to make sure you get it. Thank you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Gordon
I got the box when I came home from work yesterday, the cuttings look great. I sent your money this morning through paypal, I believe the account has my wife name on it, Sue.
Could you let me know when you receive it.
Do you have a picture of Gordon's best NOID?
thanks again
Jim
Gordon, so sorry I was late but as soon as I read about the burgs I went right to you e-mail site. The next time I will read the whole thing first and then I will not look so dumb.
Joan
Gordon I receive the cuttings last week but I was ill. I got the flu.
I am going to paypal you at the end of the week. Thank you so very much for the beautifull cuttings. They rooted along the way. You packed them in really nice. The paper towel was still moist and beneath it where little roots. So I think I won't get any trouble rooting them.
