of my own!!! Gypsy Queen (DxS R of Eric's) x Butterfly. These are the real small seeds, so I soaked a few and just potted them up. They swelled up real nice, and I'm hoping they are fully mature. If these sprout, I'm putting some in the BGI seed bank. GQ is a very heavy bloomer.
my first ripe seeds
Way to go. Hope they sprout for you. I've got to go get a look at Gypsy Queen on the BGI site. Is there a picture there?
yes, http://www.brugmansias.org/gallery2.html It bloomed earlier and longer and set more seed pods than any I had.
Way to go tiG. Hope you have good luck with them.
congrats to ya Ms TiG...hope you are blessed with some beauties.
Sounds like a "winner". Way to go......
I hope Eric passed some of his talent for picking the right combinations along will all his hybrids.
How come I don't have one of them there beautiful gypsies? Or at least a few of her children:) *hint*

I guess you didn't ask if it smelled good!! LOL!! not very many seeds, that's why I'm growing the 7 and donating the rest to BGI. I do have more pods on a cutting that has finally rooted:)
Well.....does it smell good? LOL
So exciting
Tiglet seeds!!!
owen, I can't remember my last name!! it was next to Butterfly and in a bed of 6 brugs. I really can't remember if it did or not, sorry. :(
Congrats tiG. Hope you get some real beauties.
I bet it was fragrant.....I think all of Eric's crosses with Dr. Seuss were odiferous.
I think you're right!
wrong.... not kyle's pink..... can't remember about spring peach.
Not that I remember. It didn't knock me out, but it's so gorgeous I didn't care!!!
Fragrance, frequence of flowering, feauty, and form.....the 4 F's to look for in a brug:) lol
I wish my yard was set up differently. All of my flowers are to the north of the deck, by about 60 ft. Therefore I can't smell the brugs at night unless I bring one to the deck that is just opening, then I have to take it back to some sunshine until it is ready to bloom again.
Put your house on rollers:)
owen's on a roll tonight!!! feauty??? LOL!! I can give up fragrance for more flowers, though I too would rather have both.
I wanna see a feautiful brug
Owen has been in the cake again,hic!
All I can say is that I've seen some real feauties on this forum and if the fmell is as good as the feauty, I'll be fappy.
LOL, Shirley.....way to go:)
It's the Pepsi talking.....
You've been in Owens cake too!
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!
My face is starting to hurt.......

WTG...nice to have a little laughter here!!!!
The genes on my DxS hybrids are so mixed up...Whewww we. I did not that the seedpods on those varieties did tend to get a bit longer and skinnier than either parent, but with the added Butterfly...mixed up as well, abeit, not quite as mixed up. Still, I'd like to imagine a few candida types without the standard versicolor type calyx for that variety with just a hint of suaveolens in the background....but who knows what a cross like that will bring. Needless to say I can't wait to see them, but then again I'm a little biased. I do hope you get a few first year bloomers with some to die for colors though. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Sounds like a great cross and I bet will bring some beauties.
