LOL George, I am afraid, Mme Blin and I are too old for breeding blue Brugmansias. It might be possible to hybridize the natural way in the B. sanguinea, arborea, vulcanicola - group, but not in aurea, suav. etc. To achive blue hybrids, it can be done only in the labratory.
Thats the time, I will quit hybridizing, as its going to take all the excitement and enjoyment out of it.
Flamenco has rich colors, even at my place. I imagine, the color must be much more intensive as I am used to.
Jeanne, Ludger, I am afraid, Oscar and your dog will be fighting with the cats for the best place in the bed, LOL!!!

Beautiful! Just beautiful!
I was just wondering the other day if there was such a thing as a red Brug. Had never seen one, so thank you for sharing your pictures, Monika. What a thrill to see a red brug.
>>>>>>>>>> Kyle Fainted
Someone get the smelling salts for Kyle.
LOL Kyle - yoú're going to have to start wearing a helmet - you keep hitting the floor.
Wow go away for a couple of days and look what happened, somebody quick pick up Kyle, make sure he didn't get hurt. Kyle you can do this, get busy man. These are glorious Monika! You and your friends have such talent, everything you do is just beautiful. I too would love to have just a tenth of your talent.
You okay Kyle? Haven't heard from you for a couple of days. Hope this latest "faint" didn't cause any serious problems. Wouldn't you just about sell the farm for any one of them?
Firebird's colour and glossy texture looks great! Who's Mom and Dad? L'Amour X ?
I'm really looking forward to seeing your updated website Monika! Did you get my e-mail?
Bruno
My Dog is a Bernhardiner ( St.Bernhard ) and he is not allowed to sleep in my bed....lol.
GL
Ludger, your dog has a pretty face too.
Now I know everyone is going to hate me ..but I don't really like the red colour for a brug.
Love the other two,though..
Thanks for pix, Monika.
Most, thanks to Mme. Blin for all her wonderful hybridizing.
We who love brugs owe her alot.
I am absolutely astounded at how beaufiful these
brugmansia's are and hope that someday we will be
able to have these gorgeous plants in our country.
Monika, isn't it wonderful to have such wonderful people
in your like to share your passion with.
Salute to the Brugmansia hybridologists.
The R-crossbred varieties are really gorgeous.
As a bruggie addict,i am considering to do some weired
experiences on bruggies with the stems and seeds ,including grafting them on the daturas .
Beautiful!! Mme Blin should feel very proud of these and I admire her hard work and dedication.
Brugie..I about Bought the farm on that last fall!!!LOL LOL
I love these two plants..:-)
Hope the bumps gone down and you feel better now Kyle. :)
Kyle, be careful....get up, dust yourself off and start thinking about how you can achieve that too.....
Oh, my! Just got in for a very few moments. All I can say is astounding. I sure hope to see more red hybrids of that caliber in the future.
datdog, how about this one? sigh....
Simply awesome ~~
Did you hear me? I just let out the biggest sigh. Beautiful.

Very nice. Mme Blin, Mme Neu & Monika thank you so much for the pictures of those great hybrids. You guys are producing some awesome flowers. It is very inspiring to see those. I only hope that I can create or even grow out something 1/2 that nice in my lifetime. I wish you all the best of luck!

Gosh....I have never seen this thread! Beautiful.....just beautiful!!! Thanks SB!
How is Mme Blin, Monika? I do not recall you mentioning her as of late. What a great special brug even 2 years later.
Jeanne, Oscar's pic is sure great. What a doll.
She will be 82 years old and her health is not so good anymore. She has problems with the hips.
What a shame. I hope she gets to have her beloved brugs near her.
Just beautifull, gorgeous!!!! Hope Mme Blin is still ok, she's made many people happy here, thanks for posting these great pics.
Monika-Absolutely beautiful. Love the Ballerina. My regards to you and Mme Blin for the wonderful work you both do. Elegance is blooming!!! and I am not home to see it. My husband to a photo but I have not been able to see it yet.
Beautiful as always, Monika :)
I hope Mme Blin will feel better and grace us with many more beautiful hybrids.....
Barbara, I am glad to read this. You should have more blooms on others because I had to pick several buds off.
hi Monica i so enjoy your photos and knowledge. New colors seem to becoming along all the time. Thank you for sharing with us.All my brugs are in my cellar now. What a job. Bob
