I have never seen Wild & Crazy, I would love too see a Bloom of it, i think I got Dorthea from JT, but I am not positive about that, you go Pete is right if he came up with this one, it sure is a beauty, once it starts Bloooming it keeps going till frost
Elizabeth
Brugs
I think Pete got the seeds from someone in Germany and I am not sure who the seedling parent of Wild and crazy was. I thought I had a picture of Wild and Crazy but can not find one. I has W&C and can send a cutting this Fall. It is orange with long curly tendrils. I just got Dorthea from Veronica last Fall and it is one that is doing good. I should be in for a good many trades when all my new ones get some size to them.
Elizabeth, those kittens are adorable! And, I love your red honeysuckle.I used to have a big one, that the hummers swarmed.But, I have a small one now, that I need to get planted.It is a wonderful plant!Your Dorthea is beautiful.
Dee
Elizabeth those blooms are beautiful and the kittens are adorable!
Ken
whenever you're ready for a trade, I also have some new one's that I recently recieved, when the get bigger, we'll trade, hopefully I have some that you don't have
Elizabeth
Dee
hi it's good too see you, I just knew you would like the kitten's, it was a surprize too see Dorthea Bloom this soon, usually it's later, maybe putting them in the ground the first of April was a good thing
Elizabeth
Hi Debra
I am glad too see you, Thank you for the nice comments
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, I see the kitties. I love them all. They have cute little faces.
I'm doing o.k., hope you all are too. Hugs to all, been a long time.
Charleen
I also wanted you to know I love the red honeysuckle. If you get any seeds from it can you throw them my way?
I grew a cross of LWS x Miss b havin, then I gave the seedling away, I wish I hadn't of, those people kept pinchng it out and got mad cuz it didn't bloom, and when I asked about it they said they threw it away. * sigh* And they were master gardeners? I will be waiting for more bloom pictures from you, Elizabeth.
Charlene
the kittens, are walking all over the place now, I have found one of them a home as soon as it's old enough, it's DH's cousin, so I know it will have a good home
it's great too see you, I am glad you're doing alright, it has been a long time
Hugs
Elizabeth
Debra
Thank you, I have tried too root green cuttings of the Honeysuckle bush, it just doesn't work for me, I'll keep trying, I think if I had of dipped them in rooting hormone
powder they would have made it, in about another week I will have more Brugs Blooming, so I will be posting more Pic's, I love taking Pic's of what's Blooming
yesterday I noticed a Hummingbird on the Honeysuckle, it was just too fast too get a Pic of, this evening I will have my camera ready for it
Elizabeth
Elizabeth your pic's are great nice looking brugs thanks for sharing! love those kitties too! have a few baby guineas that needed help
Adorn has buds.
Charleen
Danasplants
Thank you, we do like the kittens, but have too find them homes, I can't afford too have them all fixed, momma cat is getting fixed the first week of July, I bet your guineas are really cute, in about another week I will have more Brugs Blooming, I love it when they do, I like too go out at night too smell the fragrance
Elizabeth
Charlene
looking good girl, can't wait too see it when it Blooms, that's one I don't have, it's so exciting too see Buds, I'll bet it's really fragrant, How many do you have now?
Harlot has Buds that will open soon, I will post Pic's when it does, here's one of my succulents Blooming, it's in a 15 gal. pot
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, that is a pink Crown of Thorns. I have a red and also a yellow one. I like them, Very tough.
Charleen
I have buds coming too but we are record breaking heat here don't know if they will make it. I wish you weren't so far away my sister just lost her cat looked like the multi colored one you have but no tail born that way she was 9 coyotes got her, shame
So Sorry, Coyotes are getting bad. Poor thing.
Thanks hard to loose a pet
Hi Charlene & Danasplants
I wish your sister lived closer also, these little guys are adorable, ther's only a couple of them that aren't as long haired like their momma, I sure do want too find them good homes, I am sorry about the Coyotes
Charlene
I also have the yellow crown of thorns, I need too get rid of most of my Houseplants, just keep a couple & my brugs
Elizabeth
Here are a couple more Pic's, this one is Peaches & Creme on the first day of Blooming before it got some color too it, it's one of my biggest brugs
it does really well for a varigated one
Elizabeth
Here is Harlot a mini Flush, usually it has at least 10 Blooms at the same time, but this time only 4 Blooms, it's early yet, this is one of my best performer's
Elizabeth
another one of Harlot
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, sent me part of that Pink Crown of Thorns.
I got to get you a list of the Brugs that I had that is planted. That Harlot is Gorgeous. I love it.
P&C is nice too. Mine didn't make it. But I got a Maya so I'm doing good.
Harlot is beautiful, I can't wait to see Maya and P&C bloom here, no buds yet, but really growing. So hot and windy today everyone is wilted and windbeat outside. Still sitting around wishing I could do something more than watch everything, I really need to move stuff around.
I like the crown of thorns, didn't even know there was such a thing utill I came to this thread.. thanks!
I cAN get you cuttings too Debra. I have yellow and a red one. Is your back any better??
Thanks, Charleen..it is better than yesterday, and better than monday. I just came in from trying to water. It hurts to bend or tug. Oh well.. I have to keep thinking how pretty brugs are... I come here to escape. I would like to say yes to cuttings, but would rather wait on all cuttings now until fall, where I can set up my basement garden again. Thanks, Charleen.. you are a jewel.
Elizabeth is just the best brug gardener isn't she?? I am so glad she posts her blooms.
Elizabeth,
I've had computer equipment problems so haven't been online much. I just saw your photos of Dorthea. Unless the bloom suffered a lot of damage or vast temperature changes during formation, yours may not be Dorthea. Dorthea's skirt is long and ends in the longest tendils I've seen.

If yours doesn't develop the long tendrils, I'll see if I can send you a cutting of mine toward the beginning of fall. I just may have another shoot coming up from the bottom by then.
Color can vary from a pale pink (in winter) to a dark reddish pink sometimes the calx doesn't get as long as normal, but the tendrils have always been long.
Ken, It's interesting that Dorthea and Wild & Crazy are pod sisters, but when you look at their blooms they do have some similar traits although Wild & Crazy's tendrils aren't as long as Dorthea's. Have you ever crossed the two?
Here's a photo of W & C in bloom in mid-November
Good evening everyone
Thank you all for the nice comments, Veronica, I will take you up on the offer, that's so nice of you too offer, we did have temp. changes, I looked at another member's
Dorthea, you are right about the Tendrils, mine are shorter, I have a lot of trouble right now with earwigs, they want to eat everything, I go out about twice a day, I keep catching them, i throw them down & squesh them with my shoe
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, your blooms are beautiful..as they always are..you ARE the brug queen, for sure!
I have been so busy lately, that I haven't been on the puter much..forgot how much time it takes to keep a big yard looking good, and I'm still looking after the yard at the other house. I am also working on the sun room/porch..painting, etc.
Hi Charleen!
dee
