Twyla, we try to have some fun here and be informative also. I'm glad you stop by to check out the pictures and what is going on in the brug world. Stop by anytime.
Hi twyla, I hope you're well.
Hi Twyla. Visit us more often.
Hallo twyla! Come and enjoy all the pictures!
Really! Thanks for your words. Come join us!
YooHoo Kell ... who's house is that? Beautiful photo!!
Welcome Twyla .. you can uhhh & ahhh right along with us!
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, it is breathtaking!!! Look at all the glycinia flowers! I love the house. It is so neat!!!
Kell, that is so neat. It looks like a painting with the wisteria everywhere. Is that a house in your neighborhood?
Great picture Kell. I love the Wisteria. It is a beautiful setting and I'll bet even better in person.
Kell: your house is lovely! I'm assuming from all the gorgeous plantings that it is yours...
Great picture Kell!
Heavens no, not my house. One of my favorite things to do is ride around and enjoy others gardens. Though I sure love these old ones! It is on my spring tour. I have a picture file of houses I love. It has a wisteria that is so old. The trunk is huge! It must have been planted when the house was built in the 1800s. It has been cut off and half is rotted but it has put out these hoses and that is what is all over the house and it grows up a huge tree. The first time I saw this, I thought it was a giant wisteria tree then I realized after 3 years of visiting that it was actually climbing the tree. See the big wisteria trunk crossing over the walk to the tree?
That is amazing. Mine is pencil thin and I'm hoping to just keep it alive...never in my mind would I even think of one getting this big.
That blows me away!!! Wallpaper!!!
You'd think it would pull down either the house or the tree.
That is amazing. Beautiful Kell.
Twyla, want more pictures? This was part of my jungle last year. There is a brug or two in there someplace, but they got lost in the shuffle. All the other tropical kind of took over too fast. I'm having to adjust the way I plant things this year to make more room for those things that need to get bigger.
Wow Brugie look at the size of your yellow shrimp plant. I finally found one. It looked pitiful when I got it but is perking up with some TLC.
Just beautiful Brugie! If we had your land and my climate there would be no stopping us!
So where would that be Kell. We could pack up and meet there.
Thanks Donna. That yellow Justicia is very hard to root. My pink on roots easily and that thing took over a month. I haven't tried the red one yet.
Wow, Kell. Pretty picture of the monster Wisteria. I love it.
Brugie, Love you garden. I purchased a little Shrimp plant off Ebay and I mean little. LOL
This one isn't a fast grower. The red one grows very tall, but is a lousy bloomer. I'm still happiest with the regular old pink.
Thanks Ada. Sure wish I had it planted. Wouldn't even mind watering. I've just got the planting bug way too bad.
Me too, Brugie but I'd just have to go back and dig it up when the cold front comes thru again. LOL I dug up my Chocolate vine and put it back into the garage. I didn't want it to freeze.
Gosh, it is freezing here today also!
Sorry girls, I used the german word Glyzinie by mistake for this beautiful Wisteria. It sure amazing!
Shirley, your tropical jungle is pretty. I like the Cannas

So Kell... who is that in the picture? Is it you????
Hey Sue, I wouldn't have thought of that because she is so elusive. LOL!! Maybe we have seen our first picture of Kell.
Kell and Brugie, love your garden pictures. Don't know that i would want that large a wisteria in my garden but would love to be able to drive by and enjoy it. Your garden is fabulous Brugie, I guess i won't have any cannas this year, didn't manage to keep the roots over winter. Donna
Brugie: So pretty!
Twyla: This was my front flower bed last year (it was its first year)... different theme planned for this year -- brugs!
Gretchen
Very pretty, Gretchen. You'll love the Brugs also.
Thanks, Ada! I planted all of them (brugs) over the weekend (in their pots in case we got inclement weather, so I could easily pull them out), and we did, and they're all back in the greenhouse! Oh well, at least I have partial holes left to put them in... It has rained cats and dogs here since Sunday! We are supposed to have a cold snap next week, so after that passes, they are going in the ground. I think the only ones that will be planted in their pots will be the Versi's.
LOL. I was wondering if someone was going to ask that!
Gretchen, that looks so pretty! I bet the brugs will look even better! LOL How cold is it going to get? Brugs can take it pretty low.
Love your tropical bed, Shirley.
kell: Its supposed to get into the 40's again, but I was more concerned with all this rain. I don't want them to rot in the ground before they have a chance to send out a good root system... Am I crazy? All I keep hearing about them not liking wet feet. We received 1 1/2" of rain yesterday alone, and its still coming down. The holes I dug for them are 1/2 full of standing water. That's why I decided to pull them out and wait for warmer, dryer weather. And, thank you! It was an "instant gratification" garden. All the perennials were hidden by those gian zinnias and rudbeckias. It looks much different now. Mostly salvias, lantana and coreopsis. Some natives and there will be two brugs up front, and lots of brugs around the east and north sides of my house. I don't dare put them on the west side...
Can't wait for this year's pictures Gretchen. I love zinnias and hope to plant some in the veggie garden this year. I'm running out of room.
Kell, you still didn't say if that was you or not.
Thanks everyone. I've run out of brug pictures to post so I'm resorting to my other stuff. LOL!
Shirley:
I've planted all my new beds with stuff I started in the GH, but still have 100's of seeds to sow. I honestly am not quite sure where they're all going to go, but I'll find places for them, even if I have to start a wildflower meadow LOL!
So kell,you're evading the question.......LOL
edited to add...
