Pink Beauty loves this time of year. It appreciates a little cooler night.
Always pretty
Very pretty. Do you think it will like it next week when we get a frost? :) I hope it will be a light frost because every brug I own is full of buds.
Bward, Sure glad you posted that lovely shot of Pink Beauty, as that may be the closest I will get to a bloom. Mine that i bought this spring is now in the GH, but the door is wide open as today temp. was 85 as was yesterday, so gets pretty warm in the GH. It is 40" or so tall, y'd at about 30". I see a couple of tiny buds. It is sitting near the HID light, so I'm thinking if I'm really lucky it might go ahead and open a couple of blooms. Donna
Donna, I think if you can keep your night temp. near 70 and definitely above 50, you may get some blooms. Below 50 it will probably go into dormancy and not grow or bloom.
Brugie, I hope your frost holds off. Tomorrow is my get the hoophouse repaired and ready for plants. Acutally, rebuilding it and it should take the week to get finished.I probably have a month before frost.

I'm so jealous. Wish we had more time here. This is about two weeks early for us for frost, but since the first part of the year wasn't normal, no need to think the last part would be.
Gosh Barb that is a pretty.... good photo.
Just gorgeous Barb, as usual. I wish mine was such a deep pink most of the time. It varies so!
Got this one on Ebay, looks like I got the right thing.
Another view
Beautiful Mary! I just love the low calyx.
Those are beautiful pictures from both of you. Maybe someday I'll have one of those blooming. It is a beautiful, beautiful brug.
Beautiful, Barbara and Mary.
Brugie, I hope the frost holds off for you. We're supposed to be in the low 40's next week at night. I hope we don't have an early frost also.
This is strange weather. Our lows should be in the low 50's right now with highs in the low to mid 70's. We haven't had a normal YEAR at all. If it freezes, I'm really in trouble. Keeping my eye on the forecast closely these days.
Awesome Barb. I have just gotta get one. Got 2 cuttings and both rotted. Dang it!!!!!!
