Is that really pink AND yellow? How long are those tendrils?
Hope you will keep it, whatever it's name.
It is beautiful!
Help!!!!! There is a lady long legs in my garden!!
You are such a tease Kell!
but I am so cute!
now wait a minute here {-;
Since we have your attention, what in the HECK is it?
AND so ornery! That thing is gorgeous, beautiful even. Doesn't matter if it's not red, just look at those tendrils, wow! Think you are getting the "hang" of growing brugs?
Kell, is this a seedling? It is really beautiful. I love the color just like it is.
So dramatic, with that black background. Just BEE U TI FULLL.
Kell, if that's a seedling, the lady who called it Rapunzel was right on.
I think it iis gorgous Kell. I love the trendils on this one.
Well, she is pretty! She might yet change colors still you think?
I think she is probably gone, dead, defunct, deceased, departed, by now. Kell, it is time for a name on this one.
DANG! That's the ugliest flower I've ever seen!!!
ha ha, just fooling!!
Heck that flower has antennae! Very pretty!
It is so ugly that you should send it to me to kill off. Really would be nicer for YOUR garden that way. Wahahahaha
i am new at raising brugs, but i had three plants this year and fell in love with them. two deep yellow(or gold) and one whit. they started from rooted cuttings i ordered about an inch tall and are about 7 feet tall now. very pretty. what i need is some info on harvesting the seed pods. i have several and i would like to try to grow some seeds, any help would b appreciated.
How old are your seedpods? Pods take anywhere from 3 to 9 months to mature. You'll know that they are ripe when the peduncle (stem of the bloom/pod)changes color to yellow. The end of the pod will soften as well.
Gee, you don't look like a werewolf. lol.
Welcome to Daves.
What beautiful brugs you have there, Werewolf! Congratulations :) I've the same questions as you so I can't really help, but welcome to DGs :)
Nice blooms Werewolf. Welcome to Daves. Just give those pods enough time and you will have seeds running out your ears. Did you do the pollinating yourself or was it done by critters?
to answer u question first burgie, i know from nothing about polinating. lol. the critters did it for me. i also have a pretty white one too. ty lizz for the compliment. but sometimes i do feel a little like a wolf. i really enjoy DG. i need help on when to fertilise what to use(besides fish poo) and how often. do u fertilise in the winter too. i have a room just for my brugs. i hope they make it. i really want a red one. can anyone help me. answer here or email me at jhenard@cox-internet.com tyvm. jim

I fertilized my brugs faithfully this spring and early summer, twice a week with a good fertilizer like Miracle Grow, Peters, etc. Mine happened to be a 20-20-20 when I started fertilizing and then I changed to a 15-5-15. They did well, However, when it go so blasted hot that I couldn't stand it, the fertilizing stopped except for a couple of times a month. They still did just fine. I fertilize my cuttings in small containers about once a month with half strength fertilizer. When Feb. rolls around I'll do more fertilizing. I don't want them to grow much during the winter since I'm growing them in the house. It's a jungle in here without making it worse. Good luck with your brugs. I am not sure you want to mess with a red sang. It is too hot here for one and I don't hear of others having luck with them in warm climates. There are some dark pinks and deep coral colors out there in the more heat tolerant varieties. Butterfly is a good one.
thanks for the info brugie.
Kell, that is a beautiful one.. Those are long legs..
You are welcome Jim. He Gourd, I think we need to go on a midnight raid and see if we can find Kell's place. I see a few brugs that I'd love to have. This one is no exception. LOL!!
Stop by and pick me up on the way Brugie! LOL Bags are packed & sitting by the door!!!
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here outside your door,
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn,
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.
That is even better Kell. I'm sure Tom won't mind if we visit your brug patch. LOL!!
Kell, it's driving me me crazy... I know the melody but who sang that song? Alzheimers creeping up again.
Bambi
Peter, Paul and Mary. I think John Denver wrote it??
John Denver wrote it and Peter, Paul and Mary made it a hit.
I hate that when a song plays over and over again in your mind. I have that happen to me all the time. Today I kept mind singing the second stanza of this one:
Just what makes that little ole ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant?
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got hi-i-igh hopes, he's got hi-i-igh hopes
He's got high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes
So, any time you're gettin' low, 'stead of lettin' go, just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept buttin' that dam
'Cause he had hi-i-igh hopes, he had hi-i-igh hopes
He had high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes
So, any time your feelin' bad, 'stead of feelin' sad, just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam
My goodness Kell. You have to have been 3 years old when that came out. I was about 5.
So did this one get named ..... it is gorgeous Kell. Great photo of it.
Actually Liz, I was not even born yet. I think I came along about 10 years later.
Brag, brag Kell. lol
Petula Clark's "Downtown", get's stuck in my head sometimes..
Brugie, when do we leave.. Kell is packed and won't be home tonight..lol..
Shoot, I feel asleep and then even overslept this morning. Guess we will have to work on another visit another time.
This is one of your hybrids kell? VERY nice, I love it!
Simply GORGEOUS! What Looong "legs" it has!!! :~)
