This is what the APHIS man got to see today, this and the CG that's in another post. I've been trying to pollinate every bloom, but don't know if I'm succeeding, there are just too many. Some I had to get a ladder out to reach.
Isabella
Love that one, can hardly wait for summer and blooms here in Ohio!
Oh - I have one of these from Glory, didn't know what color it was. Still tiny tho and no sign of buds - can't wait!!
Cala - you are absolutely killing me with all these gorgeous blooms. I'll die happy though.
Wow Cala, now that's a lot of blooms.It's beautiful.
the APHIS man had to be impressed!!!
If the APHIS man wasn't impressed, I was, enough for both of us. This plant is beautiful Cala. Terry, thank you so much for sending me this plant. I can't wait to see it bloom.
I'll have to thank TiG for this one. This is the most blooms it's ever had, and takes a lot of water to keep it from wilting.
well, at least my adopted babies have blooms:)
Cala, why were you being inspected by the APHIS (??) man? At first I thought you meant by the aphid police and I thought WOW, they are sure tough in Tennessee. LOL
Kell, it's a long story, lol. Let's just say someone told the USDA that I had illegally imported brugs from Colombia and other places that aren't allowed by the USDA. I've been inspected 4 times since last year. This was supposed to be the final one. One good thing, they did the inspection for a phytosanitary certificate that I need too.
That plant is so pretty! How old is it? Will it keep on blooming all summer long? You gave me an Isabella in April, but it doesn't have buds yet. It has tons of Y's, tho.
oh............. i just heard.......... she who broke my heart! All I can say if you do import them you better share!!! Start with Monika's........... :)). hers are worth going to jail for! LOL
You're welcome Shirley. It is a great bloomer.Cala, have you got any seed pods on Isabella yet? I've noticed on mine that the pods are much smaller than the SG pods.Pollinated them both with the same pollen.
Yes Snow, i finally have a pod on Isabella. It's so different from the others.
Jeanne, he was impressed, but I think he was disappointed he couldn't find at least one bug.
Wow there are a lot of gorgeous flowers on this brug. I hope the starts you sent me will bloom this summer. I can't wait to see and smell a brug. Hope that APHIS is done with you and will leave you alone for a long time. Good to get the phyto certificate though. Keep posting these flowers for us to ooh and aah at. Thanks, Lani
I hope, it will be over now and you feel relieved. Your Brugmansias look beautiful, keep your pictures coming. Its interesting for me to see, what kind of varieties are in the US.
WOW Beautiful.. I can't wait for mine to grow big and bloom like yours.. Mine are baby plant from seed from Pebble. Keep your pictures coming..
remember Mini, yours won't be Isabella. it will be
Isabella x or you can tag it Isabella cross.
