in winter again
I love the winter color! peach is my favorite color of almost any flower.
Funny how they change colors from summer to winter. Beautiful flowers Ludger.
Great pictures. Is it the sunlight difference in winter that affects the bloom color?
It is Mother Nature at work. Great colors in both seasons. My springtime hair color is different from winter too. Well, I cheat.
I think it is the sunlight difference because the flowers change to peach even in a warm room.
Each winter I wonder why the yellow and golden ones turn to darker colours and the pink ones turn to pale pink or white.
Ludger, that is breath-taking! I love the peach color :)
Mine CG never turns peach. It is bright yellow and ages to more of an orange. This winter they have stayed yellow and did not turn orangey. CG is one of my favorites.
Mornin Kell!nice shot!Wallpaper!
kell,how can that be your favorite?
Its not pink
LOL CC............... I may change this summer................. LOL.............I bet we both will have new favorites!!!!
Thanks Root................ hope I did not kill this thread.......LOL
Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures, Ludger. They look so real I find myself sniffing, trying to pick up the scent!! I have not yet seen a Brug blooming, and cannot imagine what so many must be like. I am going to sniff the pictures again. Just maybe....well I can dream, can't I?

Dream Farizona, soon your dreams will become real world.
Most brugs will bloom very well in summer. The brugflowers will " catch " you and you will wish to have more and more.
I would like to cut your waiting time, with pictures I can,lol: http://www.brugmansias.org/galleryindex.html

Kell, your CG is beautiful. I'm crossing my fingers to have one like that one day.
ludger, thanks for posting the site for all those beautiful brugs....they are lovely. every single one of them.
LOL Brugie, as if you don't have tons that are like that and better!!! I remember your pictures from last year!!
Thanks Kell. I just want my baby to grow up to be like yours. However, I'm thinking that it is going to be very short this year and I'm going to have to take some cuttings this fall from the vegetative region to get my tall one. So, maybe next year I can start having blooms like yours.
When it suckers keep that on as long as you can, and airlayer it into your alley tree! Too bad I could not send that big sucker I had for you last year! As I recall, I sent a big sucker of it to tig.
and it's doing wonderfully, thanks
Wow Ludgar, simply amazing, I look forward to seeing your photos.
Thanks for making me green with envy--I'm getting ready for tomorrow anyway!
Smile, thank you! I´ll try my best, camera is ready. Much brugs are budding.I´ll like to share all flowers with all here.
Keep thm coming Ludger, we enjoy every one of them.
Really:)
Thank you !
Ludger, I like all the color changes. Makes one think they have two different brugs.
Ludger, Your photos are wonderful. Charles G looks like a beautiful tree. I suppose in your zone 7 you can leave outside all winter. Must be planted in the ground. Our temp. gets up to 90 - 100degrees for a short time in the summer, no humidity tho. I will try growing one in the garden this summer. Again your pics. beautiful. rutholive (Donna)
Hi Donna, thank you!
I have to overwinter all Brugs inside the house or heated GH.In winter it can become -2o°C ( -4°F )and sometimes we have snow and frost for months.
Ludger, that low temp would feel like a heat wave in some parts of the US during the winter. I think we only got down to about -8F this year, but I've seen it close to -30 and that is downright bone chilling. Snow would have been happy to have your temps this year. Bet things are really starting to pop in your part of the world. I can't wait to see SOMETHING flower.
Ludger, what is that Brug you have on your Page?? It's absolutely breathtaking!
This is my potted Brug in the winter.
jules.....Very pretty, you've got the "hang" of growing brugs. Bet the smell is fantastic?
WOW Jules......you got it to bloom so well in your house? Very pretty! I only have little starts indoors. I had a huge P & C but it hated it and I moved it out. Maybe I should try growing a tree in my dining room. Does it look healthy up close being indoors?
WOW kell ... that's what I said when I saw your pictures!
I keep this Brug outside in the shade all summer (does not like the Texas sun), then bring in before frost. It just loves the cooler temperatures and blooms its head off. By late winter it doesn't look this good, but has several leaves and starts blooming again in February.
I probably have very good conditions in my house. I have very high ceilings and windows 20 ft. up. So it is very bright all winter with lots of southern/western sunlight coming in. I also control bugs with a systemic in the soil. So, yes, they are pretty healthy up close.
Love them Brugs!

Jules, your brug is really very goodlooking.
The brug on my page is Floretta from Monika Gottschalk
Great looking brug Jules. Wish I had the room and I'd try the same thing. Guess I'd need the height and windows too...want to send your house up here? LOL!!
Thanks Ludger & Brugie for the compliments!
Just wanted to add one more thing ... I purchased 4 or 5 separate little plants (each with a different name) and planted them all in one big pot. Thought that might be interesting to see all different colors. But from the looks of it, they turned out to be all the same color. Oh well!
Jules

Have they bloomed? If not, you might want to put them in their own pots. Lots of brugs have leaves that look similar or identical. You may have different colors. Love the kitty..........
Sorry about that Brugie, I wasn't very clear.
I was talking about the potted Brugs in my house that I posted (see the photo) earlier today. They all look the same and there's 4-5 separate plants that had different names to them.
Kitty is sure zonked out, must be his favorite sleeping place?
