Does anyone have IG cuttings to trade?And while on that subject,is there an Insignis White?I have not seen the white on any of the commercial sites.
Insignis Gold???
G2S, I'm pretty sure I still have an IG cutting left. I'll check today and post here later.
gone2seed I have a valley grow white I believe it's a s. white if interested let me know
Pete
Doggone it, forgot to check. Someone pass me a brain please. I was so busy checking on the brugs to see if they got frosted on, I completely forgot.
Is there a big difference in Insignis Gold and say, Dr. Suess? I'm going to have to cull this fall. Just can't keep everything and will work my way back to one or two golds and yellows. I have an insignis gold that I'll share this fall. Right now there wouldn't be enough to take a good cutting. I ordered Amarillo Paja from someone who sells brugs and that thing isn't 8 inches tall and I've had it for over a month. It seems to be growing about as fast (or slow) as Insignis Gold. I wonder why some grow fast and others just sit..........
Shirley,
That Amarillo Paja is a nice Brug....I have one growing in the compost and it is doing well. I'll check it tomorrow if I can remember and see if it has any buds yet.
My IG is growing pretty fast.
Mine was going great and then it got hit with a cold spell. Even though it was in a sheltered area it lost it leaves and is sitting with no leaves and appears it won't put back out. Are they slow to emerge or is just mine?
My thinking is that Insignis would be good to hybridize with as it withstands the heat better than some.I like the leaf shape and color of my pink Insig as well.
Irish...thanks for the offer but I have that one.
Looks like I'm just going to have to baby my insignis gold and Amarillo Paja along for a while. I'm going to have to get me a compost pile.... :-)
Pour some of the transplant plus on those plants just sitting, usually will jump start stuff.
Will give that a try Arlene. Hate to see them not growing like the others.
I have one!!! I meant to post this morning, but got so excited that I had finally installed the camera software, I forgot. I'll save it for you G2S.
Great.What can I send you?Have Pink Beauty,Versi Peach,Marrabeck,Sunray and HG ready.
Oh G2seed - you have our hearts racing.
What color is Marrabeck? I don't have it.(don't I owe YOU anyway?)
Marrabeck hasn't bloomed for me yet.It is one of those that came from very far away.I think it is supposed to be brown.
Yep,brown.
Liz,it's been a loooooooong time since I made anyone's heart race. :>)
Is Marrabech supposed to Marrakesh? (I should know how to spell it - in Morocco. If so - you're still make my heart race. LOL
Marakesch is a old species. I dont have it anymore, didnt like my climate.
Must be the same plant.Hodnik's catalog lists' it this way;
Marrakech:fleur orange/brun
Anyway,Liz I will have more cuttings in the fall if you need one then.
Monika,it must like the heat and humidity here.It's growing like the weeds in my garden.

I live in a mountain range of 600m altitude. This is not the ideal climate for many Brugmansias. But by selecting, I have a good collection of well flowering plants. Florida climate is something, I can only dream of.
Over the weekend, we had 32°C, the next day only 10°C, today 15°C, tomorrow up into the 20°C and with Monday, the temperatures are supposed to go down into the 'basement'.
Tonight, they expect 4°C, 0°C is the freezing point.
Its not the right place for sensitive plants like Marrakesch.
JT,
Could you save me a cutting of the Marrakesch...it should do great here too?
JT, I'd like to give it a try too. Maybe I'll have something this fall that you don't have and we can do some trades. Thanks,
Shirley
Gloria and Brugie.Yes you will be welcome to cuttings but it will be up to you to remember. :>)
so If I rember too I can get one ????
Thanks JT. Will do my best........Shirley
JT,
How's about if I put a note on the side of my fridge to remind you in the fall....Isn't this awful having CRC. LOL
Thanks
Irish.....only if you remember.
JT, me too, please.
Sure Dee
Oh thanks so much JT.
Ok,
Who is going to remind JT in the fall. LOL Dee since you are the youngest I think it should be your job.....your mind is fresher then ours.
I put a note in calendar program to remind me to email JT around Sept 10th, I think. See how bad my memory is. Can't remember what date I put in the puter, just last night. This getting old is all it's cracked up to be. :-)
Shirley,
One thing you are not alone with this....think there is a lot of CRC going around. LOL
i have more than my share of that senior stuff. honestly, i really do have some brugs marked right!
I think my CRC is getting worse every day. Went to buy a phone and after looking for 30 minutes, I finally decided on one that I liked the way it fit against my ear and after checking out - - - I realized I got one without caller ID. Is that dumb or what???? LOL
Frannie,
Don't feel bad....just went outside to find out something for Arlene and couldn't remember what I went outside for....it's getting bad.
i should never tell this, DD went to pick up DS the other day, i sent my cell phone with him in case he got lost, and showed him how to use the phone wrong, as in punch the number and hit the button to end the call. i must say he was a good sport about it, considering he did get lost and had to find someone to show him how to use the phone! sometimes i have the illusion that my brain is still working well.
