It feels like Christmas in Sept. Today rootdoctor came over to my house and brought me some brugs. We live pretty close to each other....I am still in awww of them. Rootdoctor is such a super person as you all probably know by now :) I am already making plans to make some kind of a diary of all my new babies so i can track thier progress. A new digital camera is for sure in order. I also got some elephant ears that i quickly got into a pot. I am in heaven. I just wanted to share and yes brag about my brugs a little. I also got 2 little brug plants from flowox (another super person, thank you ) so i am off to a great start with brugs. I now understand the excitment of a new bloom. i cant wait.

brug brug everywhere a brug
Tracy,
Congratulations!!! I totally understand your excitement. I just received cuttings from a wonderful lady by the name of Juliana in Houston. I've been drooling over Brugs for almost a year now and just got the nerve to give them a try. I'm with you....longing for the first bloom, but that will come next year. Enjoy!
Brinda :)
There's no turning back now... you all have been biten by the brug bug. The fever comes on fast!
Yep,Had a great time!!Got to hook someone else,it is an addiction you just have to pass on!
Tracy it was so great to meet you!You sure have a nice spot!I hope your blooms have a little scent for you tonight!
New Brugaddict!

Ah Mercy, lucky you, Brugs and Root in 1 day!
And he even brought different blooms for you to see and smell?
What a sweetie! I'd be happy too(:
I agree Vi, two treats in one day!
Susie,thanks to you and all the other great folks here,I am able to share cuttings and know how,until I joined Daves,I thought there were only 3 types,white,peach,yellow.
I gave Xv a small Gold Traum,I got from Glory,it has bloomed once this year,and has buds now.I hope she has blooms soon.
Xv,is there any smell on the blooms?
Uh Root....you know what? I-35 comes down to OKC!!! LOL

shirley >^,,^<
tracy,
Welcome to the Dark Side of Gardening...No hope for ya' now...you is a Brugmansia Addict and are no longer in control of your life ...tee-hee
shirley
Hey root,come on up to NY next time!!!!!
Scooterbug...it is happening already...total lose of control... cant think of anything else.. I talked to my mother and sister and tried to explain a brug...and they didnt get it...next year they are both getting one for mothers day like it or not. I refuse to be the only brug addict in the family...LOL
You guys are the neatest.... root there is just a hint of scent. Shall we let our neighbors know about our big plans for this area?
WOW, lucky you. New brugs and to meet the rootdoctor! I know what you mean, when you try to explain it to a non-bruger they just don't get it. One look is all it takes for them to say "OOOOH I want one of them."
You are in such touble now Tracy! Root will turn your yard into a tropical paradise. He has been just waiting to expand! LOL!
You are such a generous man Root, not just of your material goods but more so in the sharing of your incredible spirit!
Hey,I have 12 acres waiting to be "Brugged"
"Cept da house is not big enough for over wintering them all. :~(
??Suppose I could heat the small barn??
When we first insulated and put heat in it for the horses we were conditioning...so funny when the meter reader guy came and saw that dial spinning like crazy. I saw a puzzled look on his face"what the??". He thought we had something illegal going on (growing)...lol
How's this for an EDIT?

But Scooterbug, you have to winter them all over in your zone if you want any size to them! Can you imagine digging so many acres of them? I hope you are young!
Nice to meet you Tracy. Your smile says it all! Go ahead and get the rest of the family hooked....that way you can trade cuttings back and forth and have tripple the plants!
Root, thanks for posting Tracy's picture so we could meet her too.
Wow Tracy! How lucky you are and how happy you look to have your Brugs. Welcome to our brug madness. :-)

Hi Tracy. Sure glad you and the Doc got to meet. He is a nice guy with a lot of nice plants. I have several in my yard. It is really nice to see who you are. Maybe next year when we have the Iowa Roundup, you KC area people could all come up and visit with us. Would love to meet the rest of you in person.
well you sure have a big happy smile on your face....lol
welcome to the Brug addiction!!! :)
Shirley, why don't you IOWANS come to KC and visit US??? LOL It's great to have another brug addict to trade with. It is nice to put a face with a name.
Tracy, welcome to the world of brugs. When you are ready for a few more, email me. The people on the brug forum at Dave's are the best!
Wow!!! You are so lucky. I've just discovered brugs & Dave's! What a great forum. I have a few cuttings started but I'm not too good at waiting so, I must see & smell one ASAP, so, I'm calling every nursery in Los Angeles in search of a brug.

If you want to see brugs in person, get ahold of SoCal and visit her in Huntington Beach. She is a lovely DG'er and you will really like her. She posted a brug pic here earlier in the summer that was just loaded with blooms.
