I posted another photo 'New Ocre' last at the brug database forum.
It is blooming less than a foot from the frozen glass. If you look close you can see Jack
Frost on the glass and the snow outside.
It has been a harsh frigid winter here in the east.
It was blizzard conditions yesterday with temps single digits and wind chills -30F.
But here is 'Ocre' blooming away! Very neat to see like this (o:
A very lovely brug with great fragrance
Alice, It's beautiful. It's great to see blooms this time of year especially with the bad winter everyone is experiencing. Thanks for posting.
Very pretty Alice. I am so glad you have blooms to brighten your day. I will be glad to see mine bloom again.
Alice, it is beautiful. What a sight for such a cold, dreary day. I cannot imagine temps like you are having and you must have a very good heater to keep it warm enough for the brugs.
Alice, how warm do you keep your GH?
Abutilon it is very pretty. I could not imagine having to deal with those kinds of temps. Brrrrrrrrrr.
Lovely - it must be a struggle to keep the heat up in the GH
Alice, that is beautiful. What a treat to have some blooms right now. Keep the photos coming . . it sure helps.
This sure brightens up a dark winter day. The shape of the flower looks much like the wild species.
Thanks for sharing, a beauty, so good for sore eyes. Don't see many blooms here, none on brugs, do have african violets, abutilon, Christmas cactus blooming.
Try and stay warm, so glad you do have that stove. Take care of those "beauties".

Alice, I like this flower shape too! Very nice pic! :-)
very nice,and I have complete sympathy about the weather
Yes, this winter here this year has been the pits. LOL
Especially since my house furnace went out last week )o:
So I am singing the glories of having a soapstone woodstove (o:
I am really enjoy the brugs blooming in the snow (o:
I have 8 blooming right now. Very neat to see.
I have natural gas rights at the farm. I have a new Modine gas greenhouse heater
just up and running beginning this month. Temps are set 55F and 60F.
Plants don't seem to mind. Though not much new growth like warmer temps would give,
they are blooming away!
Brugmansias, canna, abutilons, jasmine, buddliea asiatica ..even the citrus (o:
Great winter fragrances, too (o:
Talk about perfect timing! A beautiful bloom in the middle of winter!! Just what the doctor ordered :~)
Very nice picture Alice. I hope we all have blooms as pretty this summer.
Nice flower. Your greenhouse sounds like a blooming paradise in the middle of the snow.
Alice,that is gorgeous!!!!It's nice to have somethings blooming now.
Gwist
Alice, it is really, really gorgeous.
Alice,
That is a very pretty picture.
Alice, time ago you asked for a picture from the origin Ocre. Here it is: Pretty bright because itīs cold outside.
You can compare the flower.
Watch the tendrils...
Wowser! Those tendrils look like they're 4 inches long!
I'm at a loss for words!!! Simply dazzlingly Ludger.
I by myself was surprized. Never have seen such long tendrils.
Oh my, that must be beautiful in person because it sure is great looking in the picture. Love those tendrils.
It really is gorgeous Ludger.
I pollinated this flower. Hopefully it will take the pollen..itīs very cool here.
50's here also, not good brug weather, buds just hanging, not opening, need summer! That one is a real beauty, never saw such long tendrils!
Well I began reading this thread and did not look at the dates, and freaked when I saw Alice say:
"It has been a harsh frigid winter here in the east" I thought what am I flying into! LOL I do not own a coat!!
Oh.. LOL..........and these flowers look so similar. What is the difference between the 2? Are they brother and sister?

Roflol, Kell we do know: You are blond:-) Winter still is coming.
True Ocre is a natural Hybrid. New Ocre is a hybrid made by Dr Preissel HHG.
May be Father and daughter or mother and sun..
brother and sister is impossible.
