To give you a idea how large it is, I'm 5' 7".... Look at the size of that foliage? It's a hoot late at night, all the foliage points up. It has formed a Y I'm hoping to see a bloom before frost.
Seed came from Patricia in Ca, via Calla in TN ! Thank you ladies....
ok kell, sing it
some girls have all the luck...
Looking good, wishing many blooms for you :)
What are the length of those leaves? They look huge!! Will keep my fingers crossed you get a bloom before frost.
Whoa, what a big one. Hope you get blooms too and that they are as gorgeous as the brug is tall.
Wow, looks like you know how to grow them tall. Looking forward to the flower photo.
Kris
WOW! That pond stuff really works! Hope you can see it up that high if you get blooms. Wishing you luck. Hoping frost holds off for a couple weeks.
That is one huge plant Kristi!
My bruglings of this cross have huge leaves also but not as tall yet. It better flower before frost!!! How big are the buds? I can't stand it. Are you a nervous wreck??
Vi, I think we better pray not sing1 LOL
Aw gee, it's been awhile since a song hasn't it?
'Sides she knows that we'll all pray, don't ya Kristi :)
Let It Grow - - Eric Clapton
I’m standin’ at the crossroads
Tryin’ to read the weather signs
To tell me which way I should
Go to find the answer
And all the time I know
Get your brug and let it grow.
Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom, let it flow.
In the sun and but not in the snow
Brugs are lovely, let it grow.
Lookin’ for a reason
To check out on my mind.
It’s so hard to find a
weather report that I can count on.
There’s nothin’ left to show,
Plant your brug and let it grow.
Let it grow...
Time is gettin’ shorter
And there’s much for you to do,
Only pray'n will get what you are needin’,
The rest is up to you.
Plant your brug and let it grow.
Let it blossom but don't let it snow.
Let it grow...
Wow look at the size of those leaves. I sure hope it turns out to be a Prize.
what a neat pic Kristi. you sure have beautiful brugs, those leaves are huge, are they the biggest you have? btw, i have that stuff growing in my water lily buckets, i know what to do with it now!
SSUFFFFERING SUCATASH!!That is a Monster!!!
Wow Kristi! What a huge and beautiful plant you have there. I'll be waiting with great anticipation to see the blooms.
When did you plant the seed?
You guys are singing for it! How sweet *grin*. Told you it was getting big Gloria LOL. I planted this in the middle of Feb under lights. It is planted in the ground right now in 100% sandy soil.
I'm not so nervous kell, only because I don't think the buds will mature before the frost. I'd be more nervous if the buds were a bit bigger. Right now they are the size of a grain of rice- but I have buds. Small ones, but they are buds. I took the step ladder to check.
Arlene- get the gunk out of the buckets asap *grin*! I'm sure it does help, I'm just not sure how much.
I think this one is the largest leaf plant that I have. I'll have to go and check. I'll snap a daytime picture later.

Well, Scooterbug, if you can snitch a start of that last one, you will make many, many friends, me included. That dbl. pink is one to die for!
it's probably better to point to the plantdatabase here at DG www.brugmansia.com than to post others pictures though. :)
tiG,
You are absolutely correct.....
......After my rush to 'hook' vicki
you notice me trying to squirm out of my posting errors :-(
...No harm intended,just over zealous here....need more coffee...lol
...SB
Cannot get www.brugmansia.com
what am I doing wrong?
Go to the first page with all the threads in the brug forum listed. There is a place to click on it at the top of the page.
Kristi, that is one tall brug and those leaves are amazing. Can't wait to see some bloom. Hope you stay warm enough to get that far with your plant this year.
click on Plant database on the right menu, then pick brugs from the choices on the right. Best database on the web. oops, it's brugmansias.com :)
scooter, I guess I needed more coffee too! LOL!!
love the leaves Kristi, can't wait to see the flower.
Wonderful...TY
Wow !!! It is alot bigger than any of mine. I sure hope
you get a bloom off it. One of mine has finally y'd so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
Kristi, that is one beautiful plant and I can only imagine what the blooms will look like. I hope the weather letsd you see blooms. You have done a great job with your brugs.
That's one big baby.
LOL, Great song kell!
Kristy, how can you lose if we're all singing your song?
You should be ashamed Kristi! Is that the best you could do? LMBO Yeah, that is one big baby alright!!! Mine are only about 10 inches tall but they need transplanted badly! They are still in four inch pots and wilting daily. :( I'm a bad brug mama.
Chernobyl fertilizer..thats the KEY!! LOL LOL
When that baby blooms ...datdog can prob wear it as a 'skirt'.....>^,,^< shirley
Kristi, that is huge. Sure hope you get to see a bloom before frost. What are you going to do with it next month. Will you cut it back and bring inside somehow.
Badseed, I too have about 25 seedlings in 4" pots and they also wilt in our heat. My greenhouse floor is swept but the bench is still loaded with misc. stuff that i have to sort and store. Too hot in there to work right now, guess will be okay next week. Donna
lol @ Chernobyl fertilizer
