I couldn't resist sharing this with you. Of course it's not 25 feet tall like the ones in CA, but it's at least 10 feet tall and in it's full glory.
San Diego, eat your heart out, lol
Wowser! That looks awesome :o] Is it CG? Are you going to leave the brugs in your Jubgle house all summer or do you plan to move them outside?
well done, cala, looks great.
I couldn't move them if I wanted to, they've grown thru the floor covering and into the ground. I've had to trim them a few times because they were pushing against the roof.
Calalily, that is without words it is so PRETTY!!!!
Great job Cala. Beautiful.
I really think your DH needs to give you one of the bigger GHs. It's the least he can do to keep us all happy.
The only word that fits is stunning.
Looks wonderful and I bet smells great!
Oh my gosh!! This is a beautiful display, and I was enjoying the twelve blooms I have open on Suess?? Bet this one would drive me out of my ever lovin' mind just smelling the air around it.
Brugie, with Whiskers and all the others blooming along with the jasmines and gardenias in there, it's very fragrant.
That peach from you is the best smelling one I've ever smelled though. It smells like a gardenia. I can smell it all over the yard at night.
Are you talking about the versi. orange or the Shirley's Peach? I didn't think my SP smelled at all last year. The VO smelled even in the day time.
The versicolor orange. Is it really versicolor orange?
Calalily, Awsome photo!!!!. Beebalm
Wow, is that something!!
Cala, did your VO get very tall? Mine didn't and it has Y'd already and is only about 1-1/2 ft. tall at the Y. Wish it would get a little taller, but it does make a nice deck plant by being short. You are right, it has about the best smell of any I've stuck my nose into.
Brugie, mine Y'd at about that same height or shorter. It's bushy instead of tall.

Cala,
Girl you have outdone yourself on this one.....it's a beauty.
Beautiful! All I would need is a Grandma chair, cup of coffee, unplug the telephone and then place myself direct under it to get all of its beauty and fragrance.
Monika, I escape to the Jungle House every chance I get. I did get caught up there in a storm today, it was thundering and lightening, and I thought "well, if I'm stuck up here, might as well pollinate some brugs."
great job cala
Did you say, World, eat your heart out.
I leave my GHs, when there is thunder and lightning, because we often have a lightning struck close by. One time, he struck our house. All houses up here have to have a lightning conductor to keep the Fire insurance valid. I pay much respect to lightnings.
Monika, I figured it was safer to stay put instead of running under some huge pine trees(50ft tall at least) to get to another green house. It was also pouring rain at the time. We don't have a wooden building at the garden center, just metal, so if it's a bad storm we get in our vehicles and leave, lol. I don't know if it helps with the poles being sunk into the ground several feet, I was hoping that would conduct any strikes into the ground. Our first year at this location, one of the pines was struck by lightening and cut in half. There were chunks of bark that were blown thru the sides of the green house several meters away.
i live in the lightning capital of the world, more strikes in central florida than elsewhere world wide. car is the safest place, next is a bed.
That is the dream plant, Cala. I thought mine looked good last year, but not that good.
They've outdone themselves this spring I think.
Cala, I am speechless at the beauty of your brug. wow, It is simply amazing! You must be so proud of your accomplishment....
very very impressive! I must admit, I'm a bit jealous, I'm sure a lot of us are.....
Wow that is beautiful. I bought my first 3 this spring and if I get one bloom I will be happy.
Cala - they look this fabulous because of all the B,S+Tears you put into them. (that doesn't look right - that's Blood, Sweat etc - well, you know)LOL
Liz, I was wondering if you were refering to fertilizer. I'm good at that too, lol.
Sorry Cala - up here Churchill gets quoted a lot.
