I feel like a broken record but here is my very first brug bloom ever in my life! I am so excited!!! I hope I didn't mix the labels as I had this identified as a Pink insignis and it's so hard to imagine it changing colors...
But, I'm relying on what y'all have told me so I'll keep my fingers crossed. I hope the bugs don't eat the bloom. They've been after the leaves a bit :(
Yep, real exciting!!
I'm happy for you (:
Don't forget your daily pics now, we want to see it change color too!
Congrats Morph!!! Im excited for you! I cant wait to get a couple brugs, and have them bloom for me too! Im wishing all the bad bugs away from your flowers!!!
Way to go Morph! Isn't it fun? The color change is what amazes me.
Way to go Deb!!! Congrats! The first is the absolute best!
YAY Morph!!! good for you! It looks like a good one, any fragrance?
Congrats!
Isn't it a great feeling. Looks like a splendid flower. Post as it changes color. It is amazing that they change color almost right before your eyes.
congratulations!!!! It is always exciting no matter how many times we see that first flower on a plant.
Alright Morph!!!!!
Thanks everyone ~ I'm so just so giddy with excitement ☺ This bloom started very gradually over a week ago and has just been teasing me ever since!!!! We just got back from a meeting so I'm going out to take pictures and see if there's more fragrance. Not a strong fragrance this afternoon.
I'll definately be taking pictures probably 3 to 4 times a day as I really want to remember this and how it changes! Thanks to everyone from A to Z; from sharing brug cuttings to answering my most ignorant questions!
Congrats! Keep the pictures coming - it looks great!
That is the fun of Dave's, Morph!
Nice white. Congrats!!
This is as exciting as a new baby in the family. Congratulations. I don't think mine will bloom this year but I will look forward to your excitement next year.
Way to go Morph :)
Morph, I understand your excitement . . congrats.
Congrats Morph. It's always exciting when they bloom.
My Insignis pink has a small bud that I found yesterday. My only other plant that has bloomed is Dr. Seuss and that was such a thrill. I dragged all my friends and neighbors to look at it, and they would just ooooh and aaaah.
I also have a bud on Frosty pink, and I know how you all feel about Frosty, but I'm excited.
Well, late last night I'm glad I got a shot. A beautiful bloom with a wonderful fragrance! But, I don't know what happened overnight :( See next post for how it looked this morning.
Why did the edges get brown and why did it reverse itself from being so wide open?????
Morph, My Brugs close up (and even droop if it's hot) during the day. I suspect your edges turned brown due to the heat. But congratulations on your first bloom. Now, you will be very encouraged to grow more brugs, I bet. Nat
Gosh, and it isn't white afterall. Way to go!!
morph, Congratulations, now you are really hooked. The only blooms I have had this year were CG earlier in the season. None of my other four varieties have opened a bloom, but there are a couple of buds. you haave been having very hot weather haven't you, I would think that is the problem. Donna
Nat & Donna, thanks for the explanation. I thought brugs liked it hot since they usually grow in the warmer zones. Interesting, isn't it? Humidity maybe?
Brugie, I'm really amazed at how quickly it changed color! And, I sure am glad I got a picture when it was at its best. Though they don't look so swell, their fragrance is just as wonderful tonight ☺

I see you still have buds on the other branch, so you will get some enjoyment still this fall. I'm so sorry it had to break when it was so pretty, but that seems to be the way Mother Nature Works. Maybe she is trying to see how strong we are.
Yes, indeed, Brugie! There's probably a reason that I don't know. I'm feeling a little better now. This moring I was so shaky after the storm swept through so quickly and had inflicted its wrath!
Just saw this thread - way to go Morph!!! That first bloom is very exciting.
Congrats...morph. The first will always be the BEST. Looks like there are many more to come. So once the temps decline..... LOOK OUT ...and be sure to have a lot of batteries on hand for the camera...LOL
