I would love to know its name. Does anyone know? It's at my sister-in-law's house where she has more sun than me.
tiG! Here's the one you sent me!
Here is another view. It is so beautiful.
gosh hon, was it this last fall or the one before that? I sent out several hundred pounds of cuttings twice. it's beautiful, maybe a second day picture will tell. plus I'm baby waiting, can't think of much else:)
Oh boy....can't wait to hear when the baby gets here. Hope it isn't a long wait and that J. has a good and fast delivery.
Whose baby are you referring to?
tiG is waiting on a grandchild to be born.
TiG, I'm so excited for you, getting a Grandchild. Is this your first? Our Great granddaughter is coming this monday. She is 2 yrs. old and going to stay with us for 2 weeks. Can't wait to hold her in my arms.
it's our 5th in less than 4 years. This one will live with us for a while, and we're all on pins and needles waiting:)
so nice to talk to you yesterday. Hold them tight, 2 is the best age in the world to me.
OK here are the same blooms again about 4 days older. They are deeper in color, with almost a slight orangy cast. Will this help identify it?
did I send it this past fall or the year before? I can't match up the calyx with anything I had this past fall. still thinking.
I think it was last fall, yes. I never had any bruggies before. What is the calyx? (I am brugie-challanged).
tiG, in thinking this over, I over-wintered after having them outside last summer. That means you shipped it to me the fall before, so they are 2 years old, not one. Does that help?
it does, Carol is here for the weekend, will get back with some info later:)
great, thanks. I still need to know what the calyx is?
the part the flower comes out of. I'm still thinking, will be back.
Solid Gold
I'm so excited to hear that it is Solid Gold, because you sent me one too. Thank you again,TiG. Can't wait for it to bloom. I started using Peters 20-20-20 often
good! I almost went back to MG, but the Peters has those micro-nutrients, and with the amount of blooms/buds I have on everything, I'm convinced. I have buds on a Pink Beauty x Rosamond cross, and one of the Pink Beauty x L'amour. tiny still, but I'm way ahead of where I was last year. I really do think it's the Peter's and the frequent feeding.
Ah success at last!! Now if the one I have at home would just bloom, I would have all 3 named. Thanks, tiG, more than I could possibly express here.....
ah, you're more than welcome. I told y'all then that they were named but we'd have to find out when they bloomed:) gee, that was a very long time ago.
I really like Solid Gold, it really is a beautiful color.
Thanks on the tip about Peter's. And you are right; you said you would identify those you sent out and it's a done deal. If this one at home ever blooms, then the identification process will be complete........Betty
boy, that's been a long time ago:) lol!!
tig, did you find peters at the seed & feed? i paid 21-22.00 last year for 25 pounds.
Delisa dug up my solid gold and took it home with her. i just couldn't see that much difference in that and dr suess, too many plants to feed. great looking pics, i wonder if my solid gold was a dr suess, lol....
arlene, I need to call them. that's a great price.
I finally drove all the way over to the next town and went to a Lowe's and got some Peter's. I have high hopes.
Good luck. It is a good fertilizer. Did they have the Excel? I doubt it, but just had to ask.
No, I looked for Excel. This Lowe's has never sold a brugmansia and they asked me lots of questions about them. What is the typical price to buy them at a place like Lowe's or a nursery?
Tell them a $1.99.
ROFLMBO! You brugmaniacs will say anything, do anything, for one more plant!!
They should be able to figure that out once they find a supplier. I've never seen them for sale other than through nursery catalogs. Of course, we live in a farming community and have none of these stores unless we go to the capitol city of Iowa. They could be there, but I have my doubts.
There is a nice little nursery near me and they have excellent quality plants. The beautiful and precious young woman who works so hard there did not know what an Angel Trumpet was!! But there is a home behind the courthouse with beautiful gardens and she drove by last Thursday and saw them and wondered what they were. Because she is such a special person, I am going to give her some cuttings to get her started on Bruggies. That's why I would love to know what they would normally sell for at garden centers.....
They were selling unnamed brugs in 6" pots at my local garden center this spring (some even had buds!) for $6.99, of course it a day when I was totally broke, and when I went back they were all gone..sheesh!!!!!. I'm still trying to understand why I was there when I had no dollars to spend, am I nuts??
It's a form of window-shopping.......
Yeah, that's it!!!
