tommorrow, I will post my Blooming Brug, in the basement, I was surprized, it has a really nice Fragrance, I have too charge up my camera battery
Where's Dee? I sure do miss her, when's she's not here
Elizabeth
I miss Dee, too. I love my bracelet, too, that Charlene made, she is really talented.
Can't wait to see those blooms, Elizabeth.
Oh my goodness. Just the ones that have been planted a few days are sprouting little green leaves on a variety of places along the stalk!!
That is so cool! I can't wait to watch your adventure of growing the beautiful brugmansia.
Good Morning but the day is warmer today and still getting light rain. Beautiful day. The longears look like mudballs but all doing great.
Charleen
I tried to edit other one to show you all this bloom.
Couldn't do it, so will have one back to back.
New Orleans Lady. Isn't she Grand????
Charleen Smells good too...
Charlene
very pretty Brug, I love it
Good afternoon Debra, here is my PeanutXRosalla, I am hoping next Spring/Summer it will be at least a Dark Pink, also here is my Clivia Buds
Elizabeth
my Clivia Buds, I will post it when it opens, of course
Elizabeth
Beautiful Elizabeth.
hi everyone,i come on here and see all of your beautiful flowers,how lucky you all are.
my christmas cactus bloomed before thanksgiving,i'm hoping my last one will bloom by xmas.
i'm still waiting for the amarilis to start growing,to me it should have started by now.
keep all those green thumbs going.
retta
Charlene, Thank you, I was hoping that with the parents of PeanutXRosalla, it would be a dark pink, there's always next season
Retta, my Christmas Catcus, did the same thing, it Bloomed at Thanksgiving, my Amarilis isn't doing anything either, usually they Bloom in February
I am glad you like my photo's
Elizabeth
Charlene that NOL is just beautiful. I love the form. I am glad I got to see it.
Elizabeth, that PXR could turn dark I bet, does it smell good too? It has a nice wide bell with pretty tendrils. I like that.
I have never seen a clivia before. Did it bloom all the way?
I was trying to remember how to tell the difference in Thanksgving... Christmas and Easter cactuses... and ran across this.. thought you mght enjoy reading it..

Charlene, your Nol is Beautiful
Debra, the Clivia still hasn't opened all the way yet, when it does I'll post it, they are beautiful Blooms, but they don't have a Fragrance, PXR has a very nice scent
not as strong as when it's outside
Gordon, Thanks for the link, that explains why the red Catcus Bloomed on Thanksgiving, the one I have in the Basement is just starting too flower
Elizabeth
GH smells so good when I go in there, just check, everything looks pretty good. NOL has gotten a little darker and stil pretty.
Thank you Elizabeth.
Gordon I read the difference, Thanks for the link.
Charleen
Miss you, Dee.
G'morning everyone, Beautiful cold day here 36 degrees, that's cold to me.....☺
Charlene
I am so glad you have your GH, with all your Brugs doing so well, I bet it does smell great, I sure do miss all that Fragrance, when they Bloom in the Basement
it's just not as strong as when they're in the ground
I miss Dee also, Today it's suppose too get up to 38 degrees, that will be the warmest it will be for the next 7 days, it always get cold here December thur March, I did
get my Christmas trees down from the attic
Elizabeth
Thank you for the link Gordon, that explains alot!
Karen
Karen
that was a good link Gordon posted, who knew, it's good too see you here, is it snowing at your house, it sure is coming down here, cold also
Elizabeth
Oh dear it is snowing there? It is cold and windy with no moisture at all yet. Elizabeth, the cuttings you sent me are leafing. I was afraid at first. The ones Dee sent are too. Hooray!
Charlene, I would be in your greenhouse all day long if I could be.. I bet it is heaven in there.
Debra
it has been snowing all morning, the worst is yet too come, temps not getting above 28 degrees for the next few days, I guess we're in the deep freeze, this usually doesn't happen until January, I am so glad your clipping are doing so well, I sent out my last Box last Monday, the timing really worked out so well
it's always good when our clippings do well, the rooted Brug I got from you has a bunch of leaves on it, finally I can leave some in my kitchen window
I hope Dee is doing great, I am sure I can speak for everyone, Dee we miss you
Elizabeth
Thank you Elizabeth,
Yes, it is cold and snowing here too, looks like we have about four inches and it`s still coming down, were under a
winter advisory untill seven tonight.
On a brighter note I have a beauty blooming in the plant room that I started from seed two years ago it is a cross of
Rubirosa X America, Hyb. Fred, it is a double and from the looks of it right now it`s going to be yellow!
I just got a new laptop and I dont have everything loaded on it yet or I would post a picture, I will take a pic tho and
put it on later.
Keep warm!
Karen
Karen
Congratulations on your seedling cross, I have one that was crossed with America also, yours starting out yellow is a great sign, I am so glad you got your laptop
I think you'll be amazed at how well they work, that was my first computer in 2007, was a laptop, until this year when I got this desktop, I had too buy an adapter since this one isn't set up for wireless, my DD got me a wireless mouse for Christmas last year it works great, when you have the time I would love too see your photo's of your cross, I am staying warm, I hope you are also, maybe this means we'll have an early Spring, hope, hope, hope
Hugs
Elizabeth
hello all,yes its very cold here,right now it is 26,but no snow that stayed,just had a lite dusting.
this isn't much but i'm proud to have grown these to brugs,one was already rooted but the little one i did.
hopefully in the spring or fall i can get more cuttings and try again.i really hope so.
also my plumeria is starting to grow,no leaves but getting some little things at the top and now its greener.
this brug is a noid and the little one is cherub
this is my plumeria,key west red,can't really tell by the pic,but its doing good.
LOOK! I got a seed Pod on my tropical hibiscus cutting! LOL I am so excited!
My plummie is pouting. it lost all of its leaves. Now what?
Karen can't wait to see pics of your Brug Bloom.
Retta, looking good there Girl, looks like you're doing a great job, a couple years ago, I had one Brug grow form a 3in. pot to 8ft in one season, you're on your way too
having some Brugs, that will Bloom for you by Summer, I Love Plumeria's I have 5 but only 1 Bloomed all Summer for me, yours looks healthy
Debra, Congratulations on your seedpod, my Plumeria's lost all their leaves also, I think they're going dormant when they do that, I am no expert that's just what I have heard
Elizabeth
Retta, you are going to LOVE Cherub. Mine grew from Bare roots to a 7 ft tall four branched bush in one season. My best brugs either grew from small sticks or from root balls. If you want more you let me know.
This cutting has roots now, so I potted it up last night. It has two buds and I hope they wait until christmas to open. I have never really been this successful with Hibiscus, but I have a new method this year.
The other small cuttings I had in the small containers upstairs all had good root systems, so I potted them up this am already. They were smaller than pencils, and now they have leaves as well as roots. The one in the vermiculite had the best root system, the moss had the second best, and the potting soil one had the least roots on it.
Debra
you're doing a good job with your cutting, I hope it does Bloom for you for Christmas, my Clivia should be open soon, so far just Buds, I picked up some pearlite
for Brug cuttings after they have nubbies on them, I also have vermiculite & peatmoss, some of the things I keep on hand, later on I will post photo's of my 2 Christmas
trees, I had 2 good helpers too decorate them
Elizabeth
aww I bet your Grandchildren had a good time , too. I wish I could have been a mouse in your pocket to watch them.
Debra
those Girls are something else, they make me proud, now I have too take photo's of their good work, we always have a good time when they come over, the oldest GD, will be 18yrs next August, I can't believe how fast they have grown
Elizabeth
I hear that.. my youngest GS turned 17 Friday. He went out on his first date that night instead of to dinner with me. Guess I won't be seeing him as much as I am used to.
I need another grandbaby.
Debra
my youngest GS is almost 3yrs old he lives with me what a character that little Guy is he has the sweetest smile you have ever seen & has has a head full of curly hair
with big Blue eyes, i know what you mean by needing another Grand baby, that's the best thing in life are the Grands, I know you had a great time, with your GS, I do hope he keeps in touch, my oldest GS, just graduated from High School, of course I went too it in Georgia, he calls me quite a bit, i am so glad too hear from him, he
was here the week before Thanksgiving, he's so tall now I have too look up too him
Elizabeth
Hello everyone! Thought I better check in, before everyone thought that I had croaked...lol I haven't been on the puter much lately because I am thoroughly discusted with this dial up.It really takes all the fun out of things.Sometimes it takes an hour to just post a pic.I would just hit post, then walk away til it was done.Then there were 4 or 5 more posts before I could get back, to see.....I was always running behind.
Anyway, enough grumping and complaining.Everyones cuttings are looking so good! And Elizabeth, I know you are excited about your clivia getting ready to bloom again.The one that you gave me is growing well, but no signs of blooms right now.It did bloom in the early fall tho.
Elizabeth, I hope you post pics soon of you and your GD's putting up your trees.Debra, you do need another grandbaby. Once they get that old, they have so much going on.Don't worry too much...soon enough, you will be getting great grandbabies....lol....I only have the one, but she is adorable.
Charleen, I made little terariums (however ya spell that), out of 2 liter soda bottles for the pitcher plant cuttings,and sat them on a heating pad.So far, so good....they are still green and healthy looking.Keep your fingers crossed.
Dee
Great! I hope they make little roots for you.
So glad to hear from you, I sure was wondering. Love plastic bottles they are great terariniums (Me neither) but they are great plant growers....
Charleen
well here it is a little after 8pm and i'm just catching up on the posts,yes i'm on my way and i can hardly wait to get more cuttings so i can grow more.oh what fun and i can hardly wait for my first bloom.
i know what you all mean about the grkids,i miss mine so much even if they are grown and having babies.oldest grand dtr sent me a pic of her three and here it is.i have 7 greats and haven't seen nary one,except pics.
