Charleen
Beautiful as usual, What's the Yellow one? I'll Trade you The Huge Mystery Brug cutting, for a Start of the Yellow, it's My Hubby's Favorite color.
it's so Nice to see you're having a Great Year with your Brugs.
Yes Antoinette will have a Yard full.
I got the ones I had Dug up, Potted up & Trimmed, Although, I still have more to Trim, for them to Fit
in the Basement, I didn't Realize Just how many Crosses, I have
Hugs & nuzzles
Elizabeth
Thank you guys, they have changed colors gradually .. There were 55 blooms on Cypress Gardens, 7 on ember glow, and four on sunrise yellow, which look orange now. What a night last night, I kept going outside to smell them.. Oh my lord, talk about heavenly..
I have two more Cypress Gardens getting ready to bloom, so I drug them on to the patio. I am sure you sent a pink and raps probably also, my problem will be keeping the cuttings alive during winter. I put them directly into soil and put a heat mat also.
Antoinette
Just Beautiful, I Love the Full Flushes, They Look so Beautifull, I bet it Smells Great at your Place
it's Good to see you have Bloom's, I really Like the Flower Pots you have them in.
Elizabeth
Thank you, those pots are those huge 15gallon styrofoam pots they made about 12 years ago, I'm s surprised they have held out this long. I do have the big 15gal black liners in them too.the pots are not as heavy to move. The Brugs are 4 Ft wide and 4 ft tall, so you can kind of gage the size. Our remodeling starts this am, so I'll see you Gus tonight. And the Brugs smell great. This is the first time for a flush like this for me.
Thank you,
A.
Antoinette
I have a Very Good idea on keeping Trades Straight, you can get the Free Labels at the Post Office
you can Use one for Sending out, use one for the Persons Addy for Future Trades, you'll have the names & addy, on the Back of the Duplicate, write what you Sent to that Person
so it's a Free File
Later
Elizabeth
Well Yesterday, I got all the Rest of my Flower Pots all Cleaned, This afternoon, it's time to take so more Brugs up, I Think I have 4 more to Pot up, then to dig the other ones.
Hopefully the Weather Holds on for 2 more weeks, so I can get the Basement Ready, also I am building a Temporary ramp, so it won't be a Big Job, to get the Brugs all in.
Have a Great Afternoon
Elizabeth
Waiting For these to Bloom, before I Dig them Up, I am down to the last Few
Elizabeth
I am so envious of you being almost done with your digging Elizabeth, I am just starting tomorrow. It has been raining here for two day's but I have been out working in between showers getting the brugs. cut back and stripped of their leaves. I hired a young man to help me the next couple day's, I just hope the rain holds off.
Patricia
Hi Patricia
Good to see you, , I sure hope you can get yours Done soon, I made a Big Mistake, not washing up my Pots, sooner, I sure Hope the Rain, Holds out for You.
I Know you Sure Have Some Beautiful Brugs
Elizabeth
At least I don't have washing pots to worry about. Being I left most of my pots in Calif. I have bought all new ones, one less thing to have to worry about.
I hired a helper for the next two day's so hopefully we can get it done in that time. I wouldn't be in such a big hurry but I am doing a lot of traveling this month.
Patricia
That's Great, I am so Glad you have a Helper, My DD was going to Help, but I needed her to Help me sand the wood work, I have a Crew, coming to refinish my Hard wood Floors in 3 Bedrooms.
I hope your Traveling is Fun Trips
Elizabeth
Not really fun trips, but if I want to see my husband it is necessary. When I get to Calif. he tries to make it fun for me.
Patricia
I get it, He's Still there, are you all Moved in? When Moved in Here, I had to Have a Moving in Sale
we Moved from 2600 sq ft. to 1500 sq ft, so all the Furniture didn't Fit, so I had to sell it.
I told My DH, this was our Last Move
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, I dug up two plants and used your method, pot inside a pot.
I didn't know carpenter bees liked Brugs. They have been in and out of cypress gardens for days. I hope you can see it in the photos. I wonder if it will pollinate the flowers.
Charlene, it's getting cold here at night, how about where you are? I have one cypress gardens in the ground and two in pots. I may leave it in the ground and try again. I lost them all last year so I'm glad I took cuttings.
I found 6 fifteen gallon containers yesterday, so I'm going to try double potting.
Ember Glow
Antoinette
Looking Good, I hope it work's as well for you as it does for me, That Ember Glow is a Pretty one
Elizabeth
Here's a New Pic, this little Cati, is so Cute, Look at the Bloom on it
Elizabeth
Antoinette ~ Blooms are looking good girl!
Elizabeth ~ Love to see a pretty cactus flower!
Rhapsody
Girls, Elizabeth, Annette and Rapsody. I want to take cuttings Monday. sign will be right then. Love the cypress gardens. I'll start potting up my cuttings I got from Rhapsody...they all made it except for an Orange and a white suavedens Verigata, I think I got a good percentage going.
Elizabeth, beautiful little blooms. It is starting to cool down here too, so I'm going to have to bring my desert Roses in and they are so happy outside...My weeping Buddlei is looking so pretty. Lion's ears are about ready to seed, confederate rose is blooming and looking so pretty. Then I have a Bromiliad that is setting blooms. 2 out of 5 I bring in for winter....
Hugs and mule nuzzles to all
Charleen and Charley
Charlene, your confederate rosé is beautiful. Mine has buds but not close to blooming. I also collect those bonsai pots, aren't they pretty. Even when they are empty , that's how mine are as well, mostly for decorations. I lost a coupe that rhapsody sent me too. But I'm getting better. I even lose some of my own cuttings.
I'll send yor a box on Monday also, I gathered some passie fruits yesterday and other seeds.
The two I dug up wilted really bad and last night I took them inside, I thought it might be too cold and stress them more, but, they look great this morning.
Char, please send me your addy if you aren't in the exchange..
Thanks for the compliments on cypress gardens, it ire really rewarding and loves fertilizers..
A.
these Beastie we love, all love food and water. I sent you my address and Thank you for yours. I'm cutting mine Monday, so they should be to you one day next week.. Isn't it exciting girls??? I love sharing...
GM Everyone
Sorry I was MIA, I had to Stay all Night with my Youngest DD.she Had a Test done,then she couldn't lift her Handicapped Son, I had so much Fun with that Boy.
I have to go back tonight, so I'll be Back on Tomorrow, Everyone's Flowers are so Pretty
Elizabeth
I hope your daughter is doing O.K. Elizabeth.
My hubby has a 4 mo. job going on in the San Fran. Bay area , so I have been running back and forth so I can see him. We are all moved in and love it here.
Your moving experience sounds like ours. We gave the new owners of the house we sold some very nice furniture that we knew wouldn't fit in the new home and then the day the moving truck showed up and they started moving the furniture into the new home in Ore. we realized we didn't have room for any of the family room tables so one of my daughters got those.
Patricia
my DD is alright, she just couldn't lift the Boy, so I stayed with her all week end, my Moving Experience, was a night mare.
Well it Looks like we have Sold my MIL's House, she has been gone almost 2 Yrs, it's been on the Market since April, it's to settle her Estate.
I will be so Glad when it's Final, it sounds Like you was like me, having to Down Size.
BTW, Hazelnut Buttercup is about to Bloom, Just in Time.
I am Glad you get to see your Hubby, when I go for an overnight Trip, I have to call mine all the Time
40 yrs Together & I still Like Him, we Have 3 Daughter's & 8 Grands
Elizabeth
That is great that your MIL's house finally sold. When we sold our house we expected it to take at least several months to sell but it sold before it ever hit the MSL. That really put us in a crunch to find a house fast.
I've been with my hubby for 43 yrs. and we dated for four years before we married. I still like him too haha.
Patricia
I am so Glad for you, that you found the, a Nice Home & that you Love it there, wow, you have me Beat, by 5 Yrs, it Looks like Hazelnut Buttercup will Be Blooming Tomorrow, Yippee
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, haven't heard of that brug but am sure it will be pretty. Not much blooming now, the rains have stopped again for a while. I watered some this morning.. am going to start cutting them back...

Hugs to all
Charleen
Glad you liked your package... Just stir those seeds into the soil and they will come up next spring. I'm here watching them remodel the bathrooms and I'm getting tired just watching them,, lots of work going on here.
Charleen

Elizabeth

Elizabeth
GM
well after going to the Dr, I am feeling a little bit better. I should have more Blooms in a couple of days, it has been raining for the last couple days, that is a Great thing when you still have a few Brugs to dig, so hopefully I can get that done by next week end.
Elizabeth
Elizabeth ~ They are picture perfect. Bet your yard is the prettiest on the block.
I'm sure the smell is heavenly. Elizabeth, I'm back....I got a birethday subscription from one of my australian friends. Isn't that great???
I love the Hazelnut Buttercup. so pretty....

Rhapsody

Hugs & Nuzzle's to all
