3 weeks ago by a quite a bit! I am holding the camera over my head to take this picture............... this is huge and keeps growing though I cut it back every few weeks. I do not fertilize it or water it!...... it suddenly has tons of buds after 2 days of normal temps.
BoooHooo....I want one!!!! To hot here for that beauty!!!!That's ok we got seafood. LOL
Oh Glory..........what kind of seafood in MS?? Like shrimp? My DH and I just love seafood. We have sushi every Friday night.............
Kelley,
Yes, shrimp. It's shrimp season right now in MS and I need to get some for the freezer.MMMMmmmmgood!!!!
Shrimp, snow crab, lobster tails? Haven't had lobster tails in quite a few years, not even available around here.
Now that sang puts all mine to shame. How old is that plant?
It must be 10 years or more Liz. I tell you it just takes over. I am forever hacking it back in huge amounts! I will take a picture of the trunk to send you tonite.......the trunk is not pretty..........too many hackings but it is huge! I was thinking if I fertilized it I might actually get more flowers, do you think? Right now I ignore it except to cut it back. It needs another trim now.
Geez Kell....that is splendid...Cant hardly believe my eyes. how about a close up on the flowers now.....give us something else to drool over.
I posted a pic awhile back......here is the link

ohhh. I guess, i just didnt make the connection. wow, to see the whole tree full of blooms must be just breathtaking! Next time you hack it back, I'd love a cutting.
You make it sound like it's the forgotten child in your garden. LOL
no, he is just an independant, willful child that does not need a Mom..................
Kell,
Can I stand in line also. Very nice.
Sure, I am rooting cuttings now...........along with CG...need him also? but let me warn you..........sangs like COOL!!! He is doing so well here because the bay area is just like his original home. I am not fighting his nature. Unfortunately or fortunately, it is not my superior gardening skills at work here!

Kell, do you ever get seed? I'd like to try some if you save a pod or two.
Only once have I seen a pod but now I will be on the lookout with all this pod talk in this place! Why not just take a cutting Brugie?
kell, are you sure it isn't all that hacking that's making it not bloom??? cause you sure know how to grow them! I know you said you just got a bunch of buds, but then you said you want more flowers. just a thought, cause everything else looks wonderfuL!!!
Kell, is this the only mature sanguinea you have? I know you have new beauties. I could send pollen. LMK
I would like to trade for some cuttings if you get extras. Please email me to see if I have any plants you might need. Thanks, Kay
tiG, it does flower in spurts but it doesnot cover itself in blooms, though parts will have toms of blooms. It is always in a state of green lush growth. Maybe I should give it 0-10-10.
Liz......LOL..........maybe next year!! Though I am interested in crossing the sangs with the bigger flower brugs. I would like the intense colors of the sangs and the big flower shapes of the others. Have you had much success in doing this? DO they take to such a mixed marriage?
Yes, I bought a yellow....inca queen and a pink Volcanica
Sorry Kell - so far the sangs aren't crossing with anybody but themselves, the vulcanicolas and the flavas. All smaller flowers.
well then no wonder no big fat dark blooms!
It's beautiful Kell.
