Here is Culebra blooming in the greenhouse.New Ocre and Pink Beauty are also blooming.It sure smells good in here.
Culebra blooming again
JT, I bet it does smell good in there. You Culebra is so big and the blooms are lovely. I have never been able to grow that one . . I guess I need lessons.
Brugnanny,it took forever to get this to blooming size.Arlene sent me a small plant about three years ago.It
just bloomed this year.
I kill everyone of them too...never get them taller than 1 foot,most die at 6 inches.......
Are you giving lessons?
I love this one, thanks Eric for the cuttings.

They are both so pretty ..... tis sad, but somehow I did mine in also.
Me too, twice!
Very nice. The blooms on both are very pretty.
Beautiful JT.
here's mine from last november. this spring i cut mine off and mailed the roots to a trader. my cutting i rooted then is now blooming. JT, it was 2001 when we got these. they bloom in november and may for me, except the heat ruins the blooms in May.

Got these from Eric on 7/30/01 in a gallon pot. i did not follow instructions.
I finally have a Y coming on mine. I hoping it will bloom this winter under my light. The plant is not very big. Maybe 2 feet tall. Does it always stay small?
Has anyone got a pod to set on Culebra yet?
I pollinated about 20 or so but they are still flowering. Mine is about 3' + and with the small flowers I don't mind if it does stay small.
tiG do you think your crosses took or is it too soon to tell? I'd love to see what type of babies this one produces. I wonder if babies would have that strange narrow folliage.
Anyone have tips on rooting? I want to root a piece for someone but I'm scared!
Poppysue, if they are fat enough you can root in water like any brug. what Eric told me and i believe is true, is you have to keep them dry while rooting. i got mine from him a few inches tall in a gallon pot. you just can't water them til they start growing. once they are growing all day sun and water like other brugs. i rooted some over last winter, left them outside, covered with a flannel shirt on nights when it was supposed to frost.
Also, mine have bloomed on a may/november cycle. except in may it seems to get too hot and the buds fall off. you may not get blooms until may or december, will be interesting to see. this is the third year in a row mine has budded up and bloomed in november.
Interesting, Arlene. My weather is so different than yours. I'm just getting plants outside at the end of May.... and they're back in the house before November - LOl. If it doesn't bloom inside ... I might never see a bloom!
maybe it'll adjust differently for you, will be interesting to see.
I hope so. It's under my MH light so we'll see. If it doesn't bloom it just may get the boot.
I'm glad you have blooms JT, and you too tig. hope you both get some pollen to set!
sue, it's too soon to tell yet. I didn't get one grain of pollen from it though :(
poppysue,I cut those small side shoots and stick in damp sand.Most seem to root.Tomorrow I'll get a picture of some rooting.I did let the sand dry completely and watered sparingly.
Mine is about 2 foot tall and just starting to Y, Yippee!
