Since my brug obsession is brand new & seems to be getting worse the more time I spend looking at everyone's beautiful photos....What is everyone favorite source for brugs? Thanks.
Best Source for Brugs for a New Addict
Here is my input for a favorite source. http://calastropicals.com/module/store/
Boo Hoo!!!! I just visited Cala Tropicals & they only have seeds... no rooted cuttings.
Back2Back no matter where you go right now you are only going to get 12 inch rooted cuttings and as late as it is in the season they will not have enough time to grow and bloom for you I would try ebay look up nestor69 on ebay he has some really good brugs and reasonable prices he is in florida
Drop her a email I think she may have some that aren't listed. She's getting ready to do a move.
or you can try here: http://countrygdn.com/
tiG, got my country garden brugs..... not too impressive, but I ordered from Logees & received a blooming brug!!! Pink....
nestor69 has not had feedback for a transaction on Ebay since December 2001.
Try nestorw. I just left him feedback today.
Where can I find this nestorw?
Back to back, was it PB that is blooming from Logees? I am dying to see what theirs looks like.
Cala's brugs will thrill you, email her thru Dave's and tell her which ones you are intested in ands just see if sh ecan accomadate you. She is rooting lots now and has incredible varieties.
Kell, here's a photo of the Logees's blooming brug!!! My first bloom & I've been taking it's picture like a maniac!
A very pretty EP! I bet it turns more pink! Great pic!
Kell is EP Equador Pink? Sorry to be so clueless?
Bambi
Yes, LOL... I hope it is an EP! also it stands for Exceptionally Pretty!

Kell,

Back2back, that's a pretty brug! Better hide it from Kell, she's a pink fanatic!
Bambi, e-mail nestor at nestor69@aol.com and ask him to send you his price list I have been very happy with all my plants from him .I had one to die and he replaced itwith no problem. He has great packaging and super fast shipping. Some of his three gallon pots might be blooming
spring
Backtoback, see Cala showed up here ! LOL. She is one of our main in house brug experts not to mention a great friend of mine I met here! She also has one of the biggest collections.
Springsong, nothing wrong with Nestor's brugs but they are the more common ones. When I buy brugs, I try to get the ones that are not readily available free on this forum.
I have gotten great ones from Logees also and Native Habitat.
Thanks Kell I am going to have to try out these two other sites but I have no more space I may have to toss a few pinks, It is so funny I have bought quite a few Brugs through mail order this year and i had alot of pinks already, so I thought I was getting some of the more common yellows, and well they bloomed last week and no offense to pink lovers but THEY WERE ALL PINK so needless to say I am on the hunt again!!! any one have any yellows they would like to send my way I would appreciate them, Thanks
spring
Springsng, if you can find Becca Lynn or Jessie Noel, they are two of the prettiest yellows out there. They were hybridized by our own Glory.
Oh no springsong....please don't 'toss' them. I'd give my first born, second born and even my thrid born!!! LOL
B2B...I'm still jealous of you....still have never seen a brug bloom in person! :(
Brinda e-mail me your addy and 3.95 shipping I have you some brugs!!!! and one has buds!!!
Cala I have some seedlings from your seeds coming up now!!But I have gave some away(TO family members) but I kept (I think ) some of a bert cross hoping (crossing my fingers) that they are yellow!!
springsong....done! Thanks a million :)
Springsong, please don't toss a brug!!! Isn't there some brug law against tossing pink brugs? Please toss it my way!!!I can't imagine I could ever have too many brugs!
Next year at this time you will have too many! In the beginning you want all you see, brug lust gets you in its grasp. Then one day you look around and wonder how you got all those black grower pots all over! You remember the old carefree days where your life was not spent watering, repoting, spraying and fertilizing and you think to yourself that you are going to get rid of most of them and get no more. Then you turn on your computer to visit Dave's and see Tracey's latest Cala cross and you burn with desire. Suddenly, you think you can squeeze in 1 more growers pot if you just move them all little closer together!
LOL Kell, I'm burning with desire! And I really don't care how many pots has to be moved(since hubby will do it...LOL) around. I just can't wait to actually see a bloom in person. Keep posting pics Kell.....this is addictive.
Kell, you are so funny. That describes how I feel. "Brug lust" I have a mister system on a timer that waters them every morning. Most are in pots but a few are in the ground. This will be my first "brug winter" and I don't know how many I can bring inside. I have a room upstairs that I plan to fill with as many as I can.
Yes, and brug lust never leaves you completely. It just takes much more of a brug to get it lusting.
The thing I'm afraid of most is what my husband is going to say about all the black pots. He absolutely hates them. When we moved a few years ago, I dug up a bunch of daylilies, cannas, etc. and brought them with us. They sat around in those black pots for nearly 2 yrs. before everything got planted. He complained everyday. Wish I were rich and could buy a ton of those decorative thermolite pots that look like Italian pottery. Of course, if I end up with 60 or 70 brugs, that would only cost $4,000 or $5,000. LOL
Has anyone ever ordered from http://greenstranger.com/
The prices seem great.
Oh my back2back....I can see this one coming now! How much have you ordered already??? LOL
oh geez, back2back! why'd you have to let me see that link? I'm in trouble again!
I just got Nestor's price list which I can forward to anyone who'd like to see it. Decisions, decisions! So many beautiful brugs! It's so hard to decide!!!
Back2back, I purchased some brug cuttings from him from Ebay a few weeks ago and they were huge. In just a few weeks they rooted and I had to plant them in gallon pots yester, because the root system was so big. Only one of the ones he sent didn't root, and he is replacing it for me. He's a very nice person to buy from.
Something is wrong with my computer. It keeps cutting off words. I've noticed in the last couple of posts I've sent. It has to be my computer. It couldn't be that my fingers are ahead of my brain. LOL
minigrannie, how do you root your cuttings? I've just been placing the cuttings in MG potting soil without rooting them first.
