Ecuador Pink
Another beautiful Pink
Someday......
This one has always been a slow grower and poor rooter for me, but its still one of my favorites. I must confess I almost got rid of this one once, but after seeing all of its children...well I'd have to be nuts to get rid of this one.
Maybe next year . . . . another beautiful flower and photo!
CC, I thought I brought you an Ecuador Pink?
Mine is loading up on baby buds now. Looks like it will be really pretty next month. Very nice PINK brug.
Brugmansia,
This is always one of the last ones to come back in the spring. Many times I have dug down to see if it was alive. Now I keep some in the ground and some in pots. Still can't get them to set seeds. Maybe when it cools down.
Kyles pink roots a lot easier, grows faster, and is easier to set seedpods for me. Of course, I breed for ease of breeding, rooting, growth etc. Not what the average breeder breeds for I admit, but I am working on it.
I agree that what you are breeding for is the most important characteristics of a plant--right now I have several weak plants-growth and rooting that are going to be air layered on a good strong stock or they are going to hit the compost. When choosing a stock to air layer a brug on, does it matter which variety is used, as in pollinating?
If you graft a slower grower to the base of a faster grower expect the slower grower to do poorly. If you baby it though and remove leaves and such it should perform a bit better.
Are you saying,it really isn't worth the trouble, or that a plant that has the same growth pattern should be used?
What I'm trying to say is that unless you are grafting the roots of one onto the the bottom of a slower grower that they had better have similar growth characteristics unless you are going to remove the leaves from the faster one periodically to make sure they even out a bit.
Oh they are stunning. I know you were just thrilled to death when they started to bloom.
I have seen so many beautiful brugs here but I was wondering how many different kinds of pink brugs there are?
Calla,yes ,you brought me one
The someday was about a bloom....
Wind, There's many pinks in all different shades.

it's soooooooo beautiful, and it roots much easier than EP. I sure hope the buds on Kyle's Pink don't drop again.
I think this is the best of all the pinks and its still on my wish list
