Elizabeth

While, taking a Break from un hoarding, I took these Photo's

Elizabeth

Charleen
I need your addy, I couldn't find it on my D mail

Elizabeth

I d-mailed it, Elizabeth.
Been raining here, now I'll have to go sprinkle some Miracle grow, won't I?
Charleen

Charleen
I got the D mail, will ship out on Monday, I wish it would rain here, I have to drag the hose around

Elizabeth

Dragging hoses is so Tiring Elizabeth. I don't like doing it either. but we do it for the love of our plants.
With all the rain thou, so much better. I went for wlk yesterday and noticed buds setting on some of them. My naughty Nick is slow, this is third year and I don't know if it is going to bloom or not. Some of them just drag. This fall I am going to cut them all back and see if they do better next year. Or else I may have to wait another three years, huh????

NN is a tough one, I got tired of it growing so tall, gave the whole plant to my DD, I think the way
the weather has been, confused all my Brugs also, the first Bud I had one Angels summerlove
just sit there, now it is going to Bloom, go figure.
I have started taking some of my biggest leaves off some of my Brugs. that way you can see
just the Bloom, the end of next month, I will start digging getting them ready to go to the basement
so the less leaves I have to worry about the better.
well at least I am done with the water hose till Wednesday, well Girl have a nice evening, also you have mail

Hugs
Elizabeth

Elizabeth,I walked out in the garden but only see buds forming. Will be glad to see them drop their skirts and start flaring open.... Not much to brag about. Saw this pretty morning glory this morning. Love the little triangle shape in it. Them my Ginger is blooming. It does smell good if i get really close.
Hope you have a great day.
Love and nuzzles

last night I saw a Hawkmoth hummingbird, I told DH about it he didn't believe me so I went out to take a photo of it my battery needed to be recharged, so I caught it so he could see it, then I let it go
I have some Purple Flower's growing near my garage, that's what they were on, 2 of them.
so tonight my camera is ready, I hope they come back. you can see what they look like if you goggle
them.
your flowers are pretty, you have a Great evening also
Hugs
Elizabeth

Elizabeth, that is what pollinates our brugs, those night moths. They Look so much like a hummingbird when you first see them.
Nature is a wonderful thing...
Love and hugs
Charleen

Charleen
I went out to capture a photo of the HB moth, it wasn't there, of course my camera battery
will be charged everyday now, Nature is wonderful.
Hugs to you
Elizabeth

Elizabeth, everything is beautiful. I'm getting blooms again and the weather is getting that Fall feel to it. Love the Spring and Fall, waking up and going to sleep...Got a hummer, I have lots right now. Getting feed up to fly south, I guess. Butterfly on Butterfly shrub, Serendipity, Sam and flame.... Flame is just starting to color up some.....
Love and hugs
Charleen

A balloon, so pretty. Have to be brave to ride in a balloon. Guess, I'll just stay on the ground with Abigail and be a chicken....:)
Take care.
Love and hugs
Charleen

Charleen
I am with you I like my feet, firmly on the ground, although, they are pretty to watch, I do like your chickens, I bet the eggs are great, the next couple days I should have more Blooms to post.

Love & hugs
Eliozabeth

Elizabeth, I have blooms. Flame is showing off the last two is Serendipity and I think Cherub. front, then from back. Have painted lady showing up in there too.
Looking forward to seeing what You have blooming...
Charleen

Charleen
they all look Great, I just Love Flame, mine hasn't Bloomed yet, Yesterday I was in most of the day, it was just to to Hot out, it's starting to get that way today also, so I ran out & pulled the water hose around, watered everything, also the grass, I want it to stay Green.
I have a cross I have been watching, it should Bloom Saturday, hopefully, when it blooms, I'll list the name of the cross, that one does have a tag. Have a Great afternoon'

Hugs
Elizabeth

Very nice pic's don't you hate lost tags happens here too. Every ones brugs look super worried about you Elizabeth had Edna check on you to make sure you where ok

Danasplants
I am doing fine, I have been posting, Thanks for checking on me, i have been watching your post, you have some amazing Brugs, yeah the lost tags are so bothersome, esp. when you have named Brugs.

Elizabeth

They are a pain, lost tags.... I have several lost tags. This one here is without a tag. I love the beautiful pinkieness of it. Then There with my hand is Adora, such a big happy girl. I think the fourth one is pink perfection but I wouldn't bet on it.
Moonlight Angel has seedpods forming. I may have to try growing some to see if she crossed with Adora. I have Sam here also, so there may be a pink pop out in the seedlings.... Should be interesting.
Yes, Elisabeth it has gotten Warm again so please be careful.
Love and hugs to all.
Charleen....

Charleen
Everything is looking Great, Esp. Adora, the seeds will be interesting, I am waiting for a Cross by Patricia Watson, last year I did Surgery on one of the Buds, that kept falling off because of the heat
there were four Blooms in one Bud, so I was really hoping that it just wasn't just the one Bud. it has Buds on it right now.
we had the best Rain Last night, so there should be Blooms opening up today, it's suppose to be cooler, Yes I do be careful when it's extremely Hot out.
Hugs to you, Have a Great day

Elizabeth

Elizabeth, My Misty pink has some seed pods on it too. I noticed the Flame did too, then of coarse the Angel's Moonlight. Should be interesting... I like the plants so much better than seed tho. I don't have to wait as long. I know I am awful. We got a much needed rain this afternoon. I am so happy. I watered earlier in the day but nothing beats a God given rain.
Love,
Charleen

Charleen
That's Great News, you have got some good one's there, seeds are good, but it's seems that most of the crosses Bloom white, I don't know what's up with that, I am waiting for my Camera Battery to Charge up, the Cross I told you about is Blooming, I'll post it later.
Yes I agree there's nothing like the Rain.

Love Ya
Elizabeth

Charleen
Here is RubirosaXLBG, another cross that Blooms White, it should color up but we will see
sometimes you have to keep them a couple years, for the actual color. also Budda Belly & another Bud

Hugs
Elizabeth

I have two Buddha Belly. One was sent with trade and another one I got several years ago. Very interesting plant. Down here they call them "Gout Plants" guess because they resemble a painful joint. I have a couple of new buds getting ready to bloom, will have to wait and see what happens.
I got some nice plants in trade so will have new ones next year.
tootsie didn't make it. But it is o.k. , don't worry. I think I have enough to make up for it. Brugs are beautiful whatever color, elizabeth.
Love and hugs
Charleen
Flame, Xena, Misty Pink seed pods and Lavendaer Rose of sharon....

Charleen
oh so Pretty Plants, that is a Big seed pod, The cross has some color now, so hopefully it will be a nice shade, also with the cross I was hoping for a double, I can't wait to see what your seeds turn out to be.
later on I will post a photo of the the Blooming Cati. it only Blooms for awhile then it's done, I also got the cutest Pic, of the Bunny's, one of them is laying across the other one.
the Pic of Zena is Beautiful, take a Pic of your Buddha Belly, I would love to see yours, I bet yours is quiet a bit Bigger, I have only had mine for a couple years now

Love & Hugs to you & Charley
Elizabeth

Finally some Blooms, also Bunny Rabbit's, my DH says one is giving the other CPR, because it fainted from lack of food, He thinks he's so funny, I go to Kroger's every other day so they have lots of Greens, & Banana's

Elizabeth

some more, This is Karoline & Noid, Rose Blooming,& Velvet Rose, also a Bud

Elizabeth

They are all Beautiful, even the bunnies. Hubby is being bad, isn't he?? He must like them. I think I need to fertilize again. Weather is dry again so I have to water and it just isn't the same. But they are still alive.
Elizabeth, it is so wonderful to see what we have blooming.
Love and hugs
Charleen

Charleen
Great mind's think a Like, the watering isn't the Same by I had to do the same Yesterday, pulled the water hose out watered everything including the Grass.

Elizabeth

Everything is so pretty. Hubby was on Vacation and I didn't get around to do much. We worked on fencing for Charley and the donkey kids... Just got to go and put upo the Charger now.. Always something....
I have some pictures for you. right now have lots of buds but have to wait for them to show off....
Angels Moonlight has a triple skirt, Charley, angel's Moonlight with Morning glories, this is a soft apricot NOIDm ih, it smells so sweet. Then here is Xena strutting her stuff. I love this Brug.
Hugs and nuzzles.
Charleen and Charley....

Charleen
Looking Good as usual, That Charley is a Looker, that's Great to get a triple, are you sure that Noid isn't a trade between you & I, it looks like Apricot MoonFlower. I gave the one I had to DD, to get her Brug collection started, Zena, sure is Pretty.
I think Tomorrow, I will start a new Thread, I have gotten some Brugs already dug up, I am going to spray them, to keep leaf eating Bugs, from going to the Basement.
Well Girl have a nice afternoon, I'll be back later
Hugs & Love to you & Charley
Elizabeth

Elizabeth, it smells so good. Do you need a close up to see if that's it???
See, I took the first picture, than I snapped this one. I love closeups.... I wish I could capture the smell for you.....I may have gotten it from Dee. I sure do miss her.....
Love ya,
charleen and charley.....

Charleen
I will have to compare the Pic that my DD took of her Apricot moonflower but it sure does look the same, I sure do miss Dee also, I was just thinking of her & Jerry this morning it was such a Treat to have them over for Lunch, also I gave her clippings of Apricot Moonflower.
so it's a real possibility that is what you have

Love you & Charley
Elizabeth
