Great to put a face with a name, looks like everyone was having a good day. I see that your brug's really put on a show.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Monika, are you wearing the green shirt? HI!!!!

Your sister looks like she is really enjoying your place and her friend stunned at all she sees.

You must feed those plants like crazy! Look at how contained and full that Flamenco is. May I ask how many central trunks that one has? Do you prune it as it is growing to get it to be so full and contained?
I do not know if I will ever be able to grow a beauty like that.

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

LOL - just like sisters.
Does Flamenco have an extra large bloom?
And look at all the brugs inside!

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

No, I am the one with the bluish shirt and the glasses on her nose.

Flamenco has several trunks. I prune my plants only in the fall. I feed every third day with 30g of a special fertilizer (16-8-22+3+minors). Thats all.


Great to say hello to you in picture, Monika. :) Do you only use 30 g for your large trees and down to what size? I used 20 g 2-3 pro week all summer on plants in 12 l pots from œ m and up. Would that be a dangerous dose?

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

This is hard to answer, Tonny. Small plants get small pots. Slow growers as Rothkirch only potted when necessary, fast growers more often. Slow growers get less, fast growers more. Young, slow growing plants 10g the first year, fast growers 10, later 20g. Two year olds get 30g, depending on their size.

Its easier to explain this with examples to show.

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

Monika thats a great picture of all your freinds,there are so many brugs they could hardly fit in!

Do they all grow brugs too?

You sure do look like sisters. Great photos and as usual, brugs to die for.

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

Helmi, the first on the left, has a brug standing in front of her postoffice.

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

So when I send back the cuttings from the Permutt mutation, they'll be received by Helmi? Keep it up Monika, pretty soon we'll know your whole town! LOL

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

LOL, you sneeze once and you missed Lanzenhain.

How big is the population of Lanzenhain?

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

LOL ~~

Newnan, GA(Zone 8a)

monika, your smile has already shown in your willingness to share and love us for the nuts we are. Your 'real' smile is just as lovely.

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

well said tiG - I agree.

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

population about 200, I dont know exactly.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Gosh, that is a "don't sneeze or you'll miss it" town. Our town is a little over 4000 and that is just about right for me after growing up in a very small community of about 700. I will never like cities.

Now that's pretty tiny. Guess everyone knows everyone and what they had for breakfast. LOL


Its about same size as Radsted. Just twelfe houses along the highway and a sideway with a bit more houses and soe appartments. However we have one grocer and one drugstore (no I don`t sell Brug drugs from there. *LOL*). I grew up in Korsør with 20.000 people and have also lived a couple of times in Copenhagen. I love as well far out in the country life and big city life. However I am glad I didn`t grow up here. *LOL* Even the crows can`t find the place. Brug raiders sure, but not the crows. *LOL*

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

ROFLOL Tonny - even if the crows can't find it, it's a good thing that international post can.

Woodsville, NH(Zone 4a)

Yes you can sure tell you two are sisters. Everyone looks so happy. Monika, do you keep plants all winter in the greenhouse that is behind your sister in the picture?

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

LOL, and here I thought I lived in a small town of 79,500! Monika, last time I visited with you, youhad brown hair!!
Good to see you!!

san antonio, TX(Zone 8a)

oh, kell, you got to go there? you lucky!!

hi monika!! nice to see you, and yes, i. too, think you look very much like sisters!!

gosh, i'm telling you, all of you are reeling me in and giving me brug-mania!! that tree behind you guys is soooo gorgeous!! i wonder if your town is on our route this summer...tell me, monika, do you have clippers there, or should i carry my own? hahaha!!

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

Controls are made at the garden door, LOL!

Kell, I never had brown hair, LOL! My sister is the one in the blue suit.

Its too expensive, to heat this house in the winter. Its 8m long and 4m wide. All plants will move into the smaller GH besides our home. It has isolation acryl glass (Double 16mm).

I couldnt live in a large city. Lauterbach, our county town, has 15 000 and is a neat little town with its old historical houses. Nice to go there for shopping, but much nicer to be home again.
