I have just found this little seedling in my seedling garden as I was preparing to move things in (or throw then out!) for winter.
It a great colour so I think I will keep It.
What do you think?

you sure have the touch with the cold group, I think it's Beautiful, now just too get a Brug, that color, I think it's a keeper
Thank you for sharing
Elizabeth
FANFLIPPINGTASTIC, Alan! It's just amazing! ♥
Gorgeous color!
Nice job!
It's absolutely gorgeous! I love the vibrant color.
Alan,
Gorgeous Brug that I guess is a sanguinea hybrid. Being somewhat new to Brugs and living in what I now understand is an ideal climate for not only Brugs in general, but sanguinea and its hybrids specifically--cool and 9b--I'd love to here what you have to recommend along this line. I recently posted some pictures of a sanguinea I saw growing further north along the California coast but it drew surprisingly little interest here. I have a seeding sanguinea that grew well this summer but is just reaching blooming size. I'd love to here about red Brug hybrids that you--or anyone else--could recommend.
Allan
wonderful color indeed Alan... as always
need some seeds to work on this winter.. as most of the plants are so torn up from the hal there will be nothng to do for them till spring.. when are you posting them on E-Bay
The ideal would be a thread on the genesis of his crosses and purchases, the Alpha and the Omega.
We want to know everything lol.
For exemple:(RL X WF) X Mystic Fire, How are RL and WF ?
Dany
I agree, stunning,better keep it. It's a good thing I don't do crossing, I would never be able to throw anything out! I am also watching for some seeds.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments :-)
Allan
The Sang. you posted a picture of in another thread is a stunner, go get some cuttings LOL. I have sent a D-Mail
Gordon
Seeds are still in pods yet! I do have some Arborea crosses but the others are not ready, Thanks for the interest.
Dany
Sorry for using abbreviations
RL = Rosa Lila, WF= Wildfire
Ask and I will help if I can.

I have decided to keep it (somewhere???) over winter.
Alan,
Are arboreas able to withstand more heat than the others from the "cool" group?
Hi Veronica
Yes, I would say Arborea are much hardier at both ends of the Temp scale.
They keep their buds when its hot and even keep growing after having a frost (not below -0C)
Thank you for the information, Alan. I'm supposed to be getting some real arborea seed from a friend. I bought some seed last year from the Banana Tree. They turned out to be some other white Brug. Very disappointing. I need to start my seed in the fall so the seedlings are large enough by April, when the first species of grasshoppers start to show up, to survive their voracious appetite.
wow, that color is beautiful!
Alan your crosses are so beautiful! Do you sell these crosses or is this a fun little hobby of yours?
we're awaitng his posting he has these seeds on e-bay.. on the world market
please let us know Alan

Brugmansia hybrids are they stable?
Or with hybrid seeds can we guarantee the outcome?
every seed is a different plant..every time..that's the guarantee
I want some seeds too!
Hi everyone
Sorry for the delayed response !
Alan I garden for hummingbirds and am quite smitten with your brugs! I spotted some Sanguinea seeds for sale in a catalog but hesitated because I'm a newbie. Are Brug seeds fairly difficult?
Hi Tiki
No Brug seeds are easy to germinate / grow as long as the seeds are not to old?
I don't know where 'Bremerton, WA' is (sorry, I'm from over the pond) but Sanguinea don't like hot temps (over 78F) so don't waste your money if you live some where hot.(lucky you LOL)
Great to see another 'Newbie' Brug. nut. :-)
Alan
I'm close to Seattle Washington where the rain is plentiful ... in most cases.
tiki,
Rain isn't as much of a problem as the heat. I have read articles that state sanguineas will not set buds nor bloom in temperatures over 72ºF. So they need very cool summers preferably one with cool nights. In temperatures over the mid to high 80s, the entire plant will keel over dead almost overnight. I can't grow them where I live. It's one of the reasons I greatly enjoy seeing Alan's photos. One of these days when he makes the great discovery of a heat tolerating member of the cool Brug group (arborea, sanguinea, vulcanicola and flava ),(I know there have been some name changes), maybe the rest of us will be able to grow these lovelies.
Alan, How heat tolerant are the arborea crosses? I have a rooted cutting of arborea which I bought from JT. It survived out hot Texas summer. Since my Brugs don't go dormant during winter, I fertilizer and water almost as usual. I am hoping my arborea produces a few blooms for me. So I'm wondering if the arborea parent imparts any heat tolerance to its offspring.
Alan, in my state we have mild winters, down to 5°C or 41°F....... Summers up to 40°C or 104°F...... the Sanguinea growing in a house near me, starts flowering in March ( our Autumn), seems to peak in late Winter and is still in flower now.....picture taken early November.....There are quite a few in my area, most of them get a sea breeze as well.....Are these true Sanguineas, they look like it to me but I am not an experienced grower of Sangs......If they grow that way here, thru the Autumn, Winter Spring and into Summer, wouldn't there be some states in the US with similar temps who could grow them thru Winter,
Just a thought.
Dianne.
The shrub is about 7ft high.....
They grow very well in San Francisco or any place that cools off in the evenings. San Francisco can get very cold even in mid-summer because of the cool ocean breezes that come inland. Under those circumstances, the sangs grow very well. I imagine that they are able to take warmer temperatures during the day as long as they cool well below 72º at night. You probably have similar climates. I envy anyone who can grow these without them getting viral problems or sickly before they die. These are the Brugs I originally fell in love with.
Lovely Dianne... it certanly looks to be doing wonderfully...
perhaps you've ntroduced a new condition in their growth... as once established.. can endure 104* F under the right conditions... growing in the ground year round.. it's likely has sent roots way down deep.. it's sitting in ground shaded by the fence... near by trees.. and perhaps the house and can draw up deep water from under the shaded ground and maybe... thus can cool the plants..
yes it looks like a sang to me.. but 104* F.... sure puts it in a catagory unto it's self ...
