The only label these had were "Yellow" so I'm not sure of their name but it doesn't matter to me at all at this point. These are my very first brug flowers, :-) Am I excited or what?????
They actually have a slight-peach coloring to them.
Guess I'm just going to have to wait and see if they change color.

A close up of the blossoms.
The other of my first two flowers. :-)
Nice flower. Wonder if it might be Sunray. I'm sure someone that has this flower can tell you. You do good work......
Congratulations!!!
I can't tell you how excited I am, :-) It didn't have any fragrance this morning when I took these pictures. I sure hope they last for a few days. There are 3 other blossoms that have yet to open but have started! DH couldn't believe how beautiful they are. LOL Cala, you now have another addict you are responible for, ROFLMAO Mike has decided to pick just certain plants and only put those in our limited garden and Brugs were on the top of that list.
Annie
Congrat's and beautiful so glad you enjoyed them.
Many happy blooms in your future!
Congrats Annie! By the way...Does DH mean Dear Husband? I've always been afraid to ask LOL
Bruno in Ireland
Bruno, That's the way I use it, :-)
DH=Dear Husband
DW=Dear Wife
BIL=Brother-in-law
SIL=Sister-in-law
Anyway, that's how I use them.
Annie
Thanks Annie! When i read posts were some members talked about their dear Bil i thought they were talking about their husbands! ROFL..I knew they all couldn't have married Bills!LOL
Congrat!!!
Very pretty and it is so nice that your DH shares in your excitement of these blooms. You did a great job and I can tell you are hooked!!
Bruno . . you are so funny!!!
Bruno,
That was funny!!!!
Way to go Annie. Now you'll be addicted for life.
i thought it was dumb husband for a long time. congrats annie.
Well Arlene, I thought it was worse than that. :-)
Brugie, dare we asked what you thought it was??? LOL
Annie
I remember my first and it was a thrill. Now I am clinging to the hope that the peach from Glory will show me a bloom before old man winter comes a calling. That is the only one left that I have any hope of blooming this year. Been out potting rootings all day. Great pictures Annie. I have a yellow and I think it is Citronella and it has the citronella lemoney smell. When it first bloomed it didn't have much scent but the second waves of blooms was really scented. Good luck with the brugs.
Very pretty Annie. Hope you get lots of blooms before the frost comes. Are your brugs going to stay out side this winter?
lovely bloom, sure is purrrtttyyyyy...
Annie, I don't think that word is allowed here at Daves unless it is associated with something like Bolder Dam.
Congratulations Annie!
LOL Brugie, there are times when the D hasn't stood for darling but those are few and far between.
Yeppers, my brugs will probably stay out all winter. We hardly if ever gets to freezing here in Sarasota. All my bigger ones are in pots so I can bring them in if it looks like it will go to freezing. Mike's (DH) pepper plants are that way also. He is so into growing hot peppers. He must have 8 or 9 varities going. Peppers are a perinnal plant and they will produce peppers almost year round here for about 5 years. They grow into great little bushes.

Gosh, 5 year for one pepper plant would be great. How about the tomatoes, do they grow that long as well? Guess they would be pretty tall after a couple of years though. I've just got to move south.
Annie, we wanted to grow lots of peppers and overwinter, but due to lack of space (can you say brugs!!) we only brought in one. Should I do any pruning, it's a little scraggly.
Brugie, I say we should all pool our money, buy a big ranch and grow brugs!!(Down South of course)
Cala, that sounds like a winner. We could be a bigger than ever brug grower/seller and make a mint......... :-)
That might be a stretch......
Mike doesn't tiG, not really anyway, just slight trimming to shape them up and to get rid of any dead wood. He has his "Special" ones in pots and has them named, LOL. The pepper he want to get now is called "Peter Pepper". I don't think I want that one in my garden, :-(
You can actually start new plants from the cutting of the pepper plants.
As for tomatoes, you know, I have never tried them. I have several cherry tomatoe plants in pots, so I'm gonna see how long they will last and continue to bloom.
Brugie, I have roses that bloom all year round here. I wouldn't want to move north again for anything. Snow and Cold are very nasty 4 letter words in our house, LOL.
Annie, I grew that pepper this year, it's ugly, turns brown and isn't the novelty they make it out to be. and it doesn't even taste good.
TiGGums, you must have gotten a defective one!!
I grew the Peter Pepper here this year and it turned orange. Never did change after that. I thought it would turn red, but NOT........It was a nice bushy plant, but didn't really produce a lot until fall. I didn't do anything with them, just wanted to see what the fuss was all about. Probably won't grow them again unless I happen to run across the seed in my seed box. I have a problem having seed........just have to put it in soil in the spring.
Mike has the most unbelieveable green thumb and most everything he starts from seeds grows. The one thing he has a problem with is yucca! He has tried about 6 times to start yucca plants from seed and so far we have only had one start and it isn't the healthiest plant we have.
Annie
Cala, must have, didn't live up to it's name:) kell, watch yourself! don't get into trouble on this thread!
Very pretty Annie. I share your excitement. I have one bud on my first seed grown brug. and I am hoping it will finish blooming out before frost hits again....Patricia
Cala, I'm with you, let's all pool our money and buy a LARGE hunk of land in central FL and start the Brug Capital of the world! That would be perfect! All those brugs and friends from DG's in the same place! I think that place will have to be called HEAVEN!
Annie
I was looking through some old threads,at Citronellas.
I kinda liked this one,I guess we did not get to pool our money together,Cala!!
You snuck down south without us!LOL!!!!
Good one Root ! I got a kick out of reading susie's plans to relocate....... LOL
