RK
They were just waiting for me to get home!
Well that was a nice surprise. Can't get a much better welcome home than that. She's beautiful
Did you notice it smells good?
Beautiful, Kell! What's that flower in the background?
Kell, once again, I have to say you sure know how to take great pictures. Very pretty.
I'd sure love to see your yard. Beautiful picture.
Your little RK has sure come a long way! Very pretty flower and picture.
Another beautiful shot!!!
Gorgeous Kell. You sure have been having some beautiful blooms on this one. Excellent picture!!
I spent awhile trying to get a pic without the vine in the shot. Kept trying to hold it back out of the way and then I thought...... DUH!!! Leave it in!
It is a Podranea ricasoliana Poppysue.

thanks all!
Love your photos! Another beauty you have there Kell!!!
The vine is beautiful too. I might have to find one of those!
This is the one I had seeds on last year Cala and you passed on them! If it pods again, want the seeds? I can try to start you a cutting.
I said NO to a vine that beautiful??? Geez, I must have been having a blonde moment!
I would love to see your garden Kell!
Believe me it is not so great and now it is a mess. I need weeks to get it back in shape. I was gone for too much this summer and my DH has it in his contract that he only has to water, no other maintenance! LOL
It is small and over crowded and suddenly I have black grower pots all over! There is a reason I like to take night photos! LOL
Beautiful flowers, great photo. Thanks Kell
Just saw this in the newsletter - I don't usually come to this forum because I'm too chicken to grow brugs (overwintering!). I had to stop by and tell you what a beautiful photo that is. Glad you left the vine in there!
Hey GW, WELCOME! I am so glad to see you here. We won't bite. LOL. Well, maybe just a nibble or 2!
Why are you chicken? I will send you a couple nice ones in the spring if you want to just try it! They are such fun.
Well, truth is, I am terrible about keeping my potted plants regularly watered, and I thought brugs were kind of persnickity that way. Plus, I don't know where I'd keep them in the winter now that our basement has been renovated into a MIL suite and my MIL sure doesn't have room by her two windows. They must really be something, as excited as y'all get about them!
They don't need a lot of light to overwinter and you can even just start some small cuttings and throw the big plant away next year. The cuttings will get just as big the next year. You really should try one just to see if you can do it. Up for a challenge? Keeps us young and sassy.
Can you hear that sucking sound gw? That's us pulling you into the brug zone...lol :)
Yep, I hear it too! LOL. We're coming to git ya GW!
RUN! Just as fast as you can!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh {thump, thump, thump}
Hi GW. You will find that there are lots of enablers here!
Kell, what an absolutely beautiful picture. Your Brug is so pretty and it looks so nice with the vine too. Thanks for sharing!
GW.....I think it's too late to run. I'll tell you a little secret. For the past 2 years I have been looking at brugs and lurking in the forums for brugs and have been way too scared to try them. My thoughts were, the more beautiful the flower, the more difficult it must be to grow. Well, right now I don't have any blooms, but I do have cuttings that some very generous people have sent me. And I know that the thrill of watching these grow and then bloom is going to be so much fun and rewarding. Wish me luck...and by the way, you best get out of this forum if you don't want to be a BRUGMANIAC!!!! LOL Get one & have some fun with it. What do you have to lose???? Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Brinda :)
Kell I missed this. What a great picture and a nice home coming. GW I can't believe we got you in here. We been trying to give you brugs forever. I think your getting weaker. lol
"Youuuu Arrrrr Gettingggg Sleeeepieee"
Now ,when I snap my soil encrusted fingers you will wake up and yearn for a Brug about your abode.
* SNAP *
Gee, Howie, I had the strangest dream....
Hey, have you ever thought about us growing brugs?
GW, watch out! I told myself I'd never get brug crazy, but I fell under da spell!! there's no turning back once you are hooked.
Oh you Guys and Gals are such a riot. Love this thread.
I think you are out numbered here GW! Hopefully we will have our double pink by spring, so that should get you hooked for good! LOL
