They had 3 kinds.
LOL.......look what I found at one of our better nurseries!
kell they sell those here too...common kinds..look closely at both the white flower pic then compare it to the pink flower pic..its the same plant..just colorized. Don't want to burst your bubble.. :-)
those look just like the boxes that my first brugs came in...
gee,if they could identify the ones they have I would no longer have un identified brugs....LOL
Hope you didn't buy any....have same will share!
Thank you for all the info on seeds and propogation on cuttings. Have been busy today using all.....
Curious, tho, what were they selling for? Went to Plant sale last week where "mastergardeners" sold big, bud ladden pink or yellow Brugs for $10. and they moved quick!
Oddly enough they came from Medford NJ! LOL. And they sent them to California??? How weird is that. LOL. Here we can buy 5 gallon brugs for $15.99, these were not even 4 inchers and sickly looking at that for $12.99.
I just could not believe the flashy packaging. Called them suaveolens on the back.
Glory.........sure hope my ways work for your climate. I am knee deep in brugs out here!
If I wanted these, I could walk down my block and go snap snap and get huge cuttings off neighbors brugs! LOL

Kell, this is how I ended up with 3 brugs the same color. The same exact packaging as you showed. My original brug I bought as a blooming cutting from the garden center. Ok, fine, I knew what I was getting, no problem. I wanted the other colors too, so I bought one of those fancy packaged ones of each color.....yellow, pink, and white. Lo and behold, they were ALL peach!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was NOT a happy camper. I told the garden center people about it, and they basically flipped me off, saying, "Oh, they were probably mis-labeled. It happens" In all honesty, I have to say that those cuttings/plants in the fancy boxes were healthy plants, priced at $10.99, a much better bargain than the pitiful speciman I got from Wayside Gardens that rotted. I'm sure glad I found good people on this forum that gave me cuttings so I do have pink, white, and yellow flowers now. And they were free!!!!! Postage doesn't count! :>) Thanks, all, for your generosity.
Get out of here! It really said Medford, NJ? That's a hoot. This is a VERY small town. Wonder where their coming from? You'll have to send me the address on the package so I can go check this place out.
My grocery store in Virginia had these last season. They came from Canada.
Kell, these are very similat to what I call the ALDI-Brugs. Same package. Different pictures, but the same picture in different colors. Buying these I look closer at the leaves to ensure that I get different ones. They used to be CG, suaveolens pink and suaveolens white here across the pond, but this year they put CG in all the differently colored packages *lol* :) Well, I bought one. I have more CG`s but like it, so its nice to have more of them standing around in the garden. I will put a few different close to the road this year *lol* I love to see passerby`s faint, when they see them *lolol*
When I bought them(they were my original 3 brugs) they were 7.99 and I bought 1 of each color.And they did end up pink,yellow and white
Well, buying three exact Brugs may be bad indeed, but can you imagine being in a city full of Brugs and most of them unlabeled? Seems one could find a few colors indeed simply taking a few strolls. So far I have found the River Walk is full of Brugs...the San Antonio Zoo has some brugs that appear to be many years old with trunks as thicker or than my legs and some recent additions as well, the San Antonio Botanical Gardens has quite a few brugs as well in the Blind Garden, not to mention I have found a slew growing in various peoples yards. Sunray is growing at a master gardeners house downtown as well. I must confess San Antonio with all of its Brugs has failed to label so many of them that it makes one wonder how do they select which ones to plant out. I've found one very large hybrid downtown which resembles Charles Grimaldi and a few pink type suaveolens hybrids which seem to be in perpetual bloom. I must confess I am looking and hoping to see something that may be old and yet unknown in one of these places so I keep going and making my rounds trying to catch them all in bloom. You never know.
Eric, have you met any DG people out there? Ms Frannie is wonderful, and i think she is very near you. You'll get a good brug fix there, lol....
I wish you had a camera Eric! I would love to see those huge trees. Here we have huge bushes, no trees. I think here the occasional frost keeps them bush like.
I sure hope you find a new and different brug for us all to see.......LOL!
Arlene, I must confess I have just been visiting a few Brug spots here and there. I almost forgot, we have a Japanese Garden not to far from the SA zoo that also has a few Brugmansia growing.
Kell, I do have a camera, but its still in storage. I do plan on taking a few pictures of all these wonderful Brugmansia here just as soon as they all start blooming. Not all of them are blooming.
