I just got this in the mail today - and WOW!!!! I am indeed in Brug heaven! Many thanks to the kind person who shared with me.....
I'm in Brug heaven!
Wow, that's quite a haul! Nice healthy looking plants, should all do well for you.
Cool. You will be busy this winter with a lot of new babies. Can't wait to see pictures of them in the summer.
I will definately post pictures when they bloom....spring now cannot come soon enough!...lol...
Oh I am just green with envy.........so many new babies to take care.....are you sure it won't be to much for you honey........LOL.....cant wait for spring so you can get them all going and we will have some beautiful blooms.....
Mom
If they become a handful I will just send them to grandmaw's...lol...she is very experienced.
Looks GREAT moonlighting! Cant wait to see what they do for you come summer!
Hey Shelly - Me neither!...lol...
Wow looks like you hit the jackpot. Congrats.
Hiya Moonlighting,
That looks like Christmas came early for you, too!
Willowasp, you should be getting the package we discussed sometime next week..with a few surprises I added.
MsCritterkeeper
OK, i had enough. i am moving to the USA!
I am still dancing...lol...
Looks like you will be kept bsuy for awhile! I almost wish my brugs would fit in a box again! ENJOY!
i got a present in the mail today too! although...i searched and i searched for directions on how and what to do with cuttings...and it was surprisingly lacking for a complete novice like me! the bottoms of the cuttings looked like they were about to sprout roots, and i dipped them both in rooting hormone and then planted them in half potting soil/ peat moss. and then was gonna stick them in a warm corner of my room-- is this all ok? please correct my process-- i really dont want to kill them!
Well.............. I use a fast draining soil in the winter. Rot is the easist way to lose a cutting and and a very easy way in winter. I also use a small pot. 4 inch is the biggest. I only wet the soil when the dirt is very dry. Make sure in no direct sunlight until rooted.
Good luck! They look great.
I agree with Kell
..........I'd like to add that the soil mixture you are using I believe will stay too wet. I like to use 2 parts organic potting mix, 1 part perlite and 1 part builders sand.
........This is what I use and it drains very well.
IMHO :o)
Boy, some generous person out there sure likes you. lol Those cuttings look as if they were either just cut a few minutes ago or already rooted. I've never had any arrive with leaves that fresh. Whoever packed them must really have the answer to how to do it.
I agree, the cuttings look like they have been freshly cut...maybe it is the cold weather..?..they were intransit for 3 days. BTW - I think the person who I got these from is not a member here and this is why no names are mentioned....
Well Sweetie Pie,
........ You know it's a rule here among the Brugnutz, that you 'must' post a list of everything you get.......so we all can get in order here for our Begging & Groveling season next fall :-O
&;-P
§
LOL....you are soooo right...give me a few and I will have a list of what the names are...
LOL SB you are too funny!
Hey Kell? Ya said "I almost wish my brugs would fit in a box again!" Want me to send you some, they will be yours, and they will fit into a box! :o)
Ok...here goes:
Butterfly
Ollie
Charles G.
Jean Pasco
Versicolor Peach
Maderia
Tropical Sunset
Candida Double White
Rosa Traum
Jamaica Yellow
Frosty Pink
Herrenhauser Garten
Arborea
Everyone keep your fingers crossed that these make it for me...then I will have plenty to share next year! I have (so far) had good luck with all cuttings that I have rooted, I have only lost 1 out of 20 or so that I started - the 1 that I think died maybe is still alive and will come back next summer...? - I cannot tell because it is in a pot with soil....it just simply dried up.
*** Edited to clarify that the little cutting dried up - NOT the soil....ROTFL....

Thanks, I will start my list of requests now ;-P....lol
Besides this sillyness..... you sure have a very nice assortment to get you going. Good luck with them lil bruglings =)

Thanks Shelly but one thing I do not need are any more brugs!! Unless of course it is a triple purple!
I can't imagine the day when I won't "need" more brugs! My first summer of brug addiction & I have to confess I think that I'll be a brug beggar for life!
LOL.....
Tell me that next year! Esp. when you start to grow your own seeds. Gee, they multiply way too much!
Ok now guys and gals, you know yall better git in line and the line starts behind me for those cuttings.........LOL
Dee
Since Katy isn't that far fr Brazoria, I'm in line behind Willow!!! hehehe
I can save you the trouble of packing, Moonlighting. This Honda of mine gets 30-35 miles a gallon & that is almost cheaper than postage!
I'll swap you what DonnaB gave me that you don't have for what you got that I don't have.
:~)
LOL...you guys are something else! - FOTFL....Of course I will share when I have some cuttings, but I first need to get info on when/how/where to do the cuttings after they grow up....
I have been reading up on Brugs and I have learn't quite a bit so far - but by no means close to being comfy in doing it tho....I know I am in the right place here at DG and I am sure when that time comes someone will SPOONFEED the info to me on just how to do it....lol...
Try this link sweetheart, it helped me alot....

Geez Sue, I wish I had not seen that one!! LOL. I have never had trouble rooting Arborea before, I did not know it was tricky. Now I will be jinxed!!
But what a great picture of it!
And your rooting many cutting method is FANTASTIC!!!
Great info WW and Sue!....
Hey Kell - I like your pictures!...as far as my rooting method goes, well - I don't really know what I am doing right, but whatever it is they like it...lol...
