Once again in full pendulous bloom! Most of the leaves fell off in the last 2 weeks for I kept letting it dryout to a complete wilt! So it has more blooms than it has leaves.

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

Kellster,you need a hobby!! Are you dancing to your song?

It is gorgeous,next year I WILL have a brug bloom like that!

Deep South Coastal, TX(Zone 10a)

Someone stole my plant!! I've been looking everywhere and find it here!!
Kell, it's beauty-ful. I can just imagine you out there dancing around that tree. Do your neighbors think you are crazy?

Angleton, TX(Zone 9a)

Kell . . yes indeed, it is so very pretty. I wish I could get that many blooms on one plant. Maybe this fall, I will because it is cooling down a little - around 88 during the day.

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

Gorgeous!

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Sure hope mine will get that full next year. Very pretty plant.

Matthews, MO(Zone 6b)

Wow, Kell that is Gor-ge-ous! Anyway I could get you to move that to my back yard? I would let it write home and send pic's.....sol right?

(Zone 6a)

WOW! That brug is overloaded! Are you really allowed to have that many beauties on one brug? LOL
Very nice pic....

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Next year I am going to do more standards. This one constantly has buds on it. I wonder if you limit the plant to just one trunk, you are directing all the plant's energy into flowers more than into more leaves and more stems. I am going to airlayer the biggest stalks off my brug bushes soon to get them going for next year! I can't wait. If it is good enough for Monika, hey..........it is good enough for me!!!

Hillsboro, OH(Zone 6a)

Kell, it makes me very sad that you don't like that plant. LOL Absolutely gorgeous!!

You are so pretty, so pretty, so pretty and maybe I'll get to see you next week.

(Zone 8a)

Kell...where did you steal them pictures from? LOL...Gorgeous anyway! Cuttings maybe?

Florence, AL(Zone 7a)

BRAG, why don't you?!? Hamburgers, heck, she's feeding it filet mignon and caviar!!! And to think I felt sorry for her when she didn't get her order from LBJ! For shame, for shame!! (*grin*)

Panhandle, FL(Zone 8a)

Kell,
What a great looking plant! I would love to see that in person.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Thanks all. Sorry I was such a picture hog but I just love this being able to put one on each post!!

Hi Judith............How are you??? I am trying to airlayer you the Lochroma, I have been too lazy to email you.

Imaseedpicker...........you want a cutting??.......... I would love to share with you!!!

I just love this one also. It is my first one on my way to Brug Alley!!! LOL

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Kell, the Iochromas root in moist soil. I even had one root in water. The red one works best.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Oh, it is an I??? LOL I have been spelling and saying it with a L............................. no wonder I get strange looks...........I thought it was because I was wearing a bikini.

Great, I will try it Brugie!!

Lake Toxaway, NC(Zone 7a)

I have awfully cool nights here. Do you suppose that's why my bruggies are slow to grow? I planted one in town and it did much better than the ones at home, but town is about 1000 feet lower in altitude and warmer.
I am whining here....... I wanna be able to sing "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and wise..."

New Iberia, LA(Zone 9a)

Wow WOW WOW.. SO beautiful and so full of blooms! I hope one of mine would blooooom like this one someday or next year!

Newberry, FL(Zone 8B)

woodspirit1, i'm not sure, but snowhermit lives on a mountain and hers do great.
ms kell is obviously feeding them sushi.....
and ms kell have you posted in the contest forum yet?

Mount Angel, OR(Zone 8a)

Wow, Kell, you just don't do anything half baked, do you? The chair, the birdbath, and the distictis vines and the pretty trees. Have you got the picture yet? I am green, girl! LOL I had a brug do well, not that well , but pretty good because I fed it water from the small goldfish pond I had, kind of like the sushi Arlene mentioned.Are you using that VF-11 stuff? Please forgive my ignorance but is this the one called Charles Gibson?

Westbrook, ME(Zone 5a)

Kell - is this the REAL Charles? Will you save me a cutting when you chop him back? Pretty-pretty-soooo PRETTY PlEASE? I will send you 2 Frosties! Actually.... I think I might have one you would like for a trade.

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

Kell,did you hear me sing too Prettyyyyyyyyy, prettyyyyy, prettyyyyyy! I tried to be loud but I dont know how long it takes to travel around the globe!!!

Cochrane, ON(Zone 2b)

Boy I would be doing a happy dance all around that every day & taking loads of pic's if that was mine. That is just gorgeous. Way to go Kell.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

I was singing with you Monika!! LOL
I do believe it is the real Charles Grimaldi.
The pot it is in, it has totally filled. I need to cut back the roots and repot it for spring. Thanks to Monika's tutorials I have a clear idea of what to do.

Yes, I have been using the VH-11 more this month. But this one is just a bloomer. Born one I believe! So I do not think I can take credit. Lately I have a bad provider to it!

Livermore, CA(Zone 9a)

Kell, it is really lovely. I know how you feel. I finally have
Brugs. blooming. They are candida double white, Frosty pink, Jean Pasco, Tropical Sunset and another that hasn't quite opened yet. I also have one that I can't identify from the bloom. It looks almost just like Frosty Pink only it is more white with a blush of pink around the edges. Does anyone know what it might be?

Lima, OH(Zone 5a)

If you don't send it to him, please send it to me, only DON'T cut it back!!!

Gorgeous! You have a real green thunb!
