Wow MCK that is an incredible brug
That's beautiful. It must smell wonderful.
Wild thang LOL- LOVE IT.... Just beautiful! How many flushes in a season? Thanks for posting. Kristi
It sure is putting on a show for you!
Boy, I wish I lived in a warm zone. Brug envy here. What a great picture.
Picture size is perfect for this one I think. Would be a shame not to see all of it as large as possible.
Maxed my monitor screen for this one .Gorgeous !!!
Beautiful picture! She blooms very well for you.
MCK, your brug is beautiful, so big, wow!! That is pink, isn't it? Sometimes they photo different than they really are. Are you the one that has the canaries??? I read your post, but never could find it again to reply. My cousin breeds Electras and one day, I'd love a room with my own Electra and blooming brugs!! SLike
Wow! Nice, bet the smell is something?
Wish I could get that many blooms on a brug.
I love the 2 color look. So pretty!
SO glad ya'll like my pic. She seems to be a very happy camper. This is the one that I set down in a pot and the roots grew through and into the ground, she is still in the pot and has almost pulled the pot under ground! LOL . They are hardy lil plants aren’t they .lol
Yes, she is definitely PINK! This is a natural untouched photo… and not a very good one either- but it does show her doing her thing. She flushes here about every 7-10 days or so. I seldom fertilize her so it must be because of her genes and she just likes her environment.
Datdog, Here name "Wild Thang" comes from me looking at all ya'lls brugs that are all trimmed nice and neat...I didn't know they were supposed to be grown like that.lol
SLike-Yes, I am the same one that breeds canaries…

Kell-The camera is a SONY Cyber-shot 6x 2.1 meg.
It is a refurbished one from WalMart. It has been a great lil camera . I am still learning her particulars .
Thanks Monica…coming from you, I consider it a treasured compliment…I’m gonna go tell “Wild Thang” you think she is pretty and watch her blush again. Lol
Thanks…

It sures seems to be contented doing its own thing. Beautiful picture.
I have 4 male, singing canaries.
Have a few more brugs than that, tho'.
Wow!!! Thats a beutiful brug and outstanding pic!
"Wild Thang", I think I love you!
Bonnie
I hope mine decide to do that "wild thang" too! WOW!
Thanks all...she's been a great starter brug. This one has always been healthy, always in bloom here and never lets the garden down. I will let her stay a "Wild Thang" because it is such a pretty site when she is full of blooms. The rest of my brugs I have been practicing on getting them to look like the real "brug trees".lol
Hibiscus, That is great you have canaries too. I love my singers! I have a pair going to nest right now. Hope they make some babies this year.
Mine are just green garden singers but boy do they sing!
Brugnanny we are going to have to meet because you are so close to me. Maybe we can get Willowwasp & a few others together for some pics for DG of the South Texas crew?

What a show, what a beauty!
I tried and tried to be good but everytime I saw this thread the words came blaring into my head............... over and over again.
All your fault Lottie!
Let's sing!
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything
Come on, wild thing
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I gotta know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
Oh you move me
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything
Come on, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I need you
But I gotta know for sure
Come on and squeeze me tight
Oh I need it
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything
Come on, wild thing
Kell you are so amazing with your gift of song!
Thanks so much you made my morning.;)
I think I will save it and put it on a garden stone for her.lol
LOL Lottie. I can tell you were not a rock and roller! This one was a Jimi Hendrix song. Most of my songs are from rock and roll!
Kell posted: Most of my songs are from rock and roll!
My hubby would LOVE you!!! He has a pal that knows every word to ever R & R song ever written, we've never stumped him...
Kell you are very perceptive...lol
I like R&R but you haven't lived until you have a sing along to R&R music with a MACAW! He really likes it...it is the only thing that drowns out his noise.lol It really gets him going.
Actually, I'm an old flower child...
Hendrix,Santana,Clapton,Stevie Ray Vaugh are a few of my favorites. My folks were professional musicians and I grew up with a very broad appreciation for all music. Even elevator music.lol I just have to be so selective now because it really sets off the jungle here.
Thanks again Kell...I love the part:
Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything...
seemed to fit the picture.
How very interesting, MsC!! Are you professionally involved in music too?? Van Cliburn is my cousin and I can hardly read music, whew, but, like you, I have an all round appreciation...
Sherry,
We were all taught an instrument(I had to take piano lessons! YUCK) but they discovered rather quickly that they'd rather have me playing with my plants & critters.:) They couldn't keep me still enough to teach me.
I can't even sing in the shower! LOL
I didn't get the musical gene...it was passed on to my brother who has a Masters in Music Education and he is very gifted.
That's all ok with me cause I'd rather be here & in the garden anyway.
That is one GORGEOUS brug!
My DH was a flower child in the 60s and 70s! LOL. He is the rock n roller more than I ever was.
I am like you Lottie, people pay me not to sing. I always wanted to be a great singer.
Too funny kell..you are our Song Leader we wouldn't be the same without you and your great songs!
Awwww thanks!
If ya'll decide on a time for a South Tx get-together, even if it is only lunch, let me know!
I'd love to come down & awe @ all of your plants!
Magnolia & Katy ain't that far north!!! :~)
Sure Smockette...we'd love to have you,too.
Nothing has been decided about a South Texas RU, but we can dream!
MsCritter, If you have a cutting list, I would love to get on it.
I would love to have a "Little Wild Thang".
You are welcomed to some cuttings (shipping cost) only I have somethings going out this week...please send me your addy with Wild Thang in the subject so it doesn't get lost in my mail box...lol
beautiful picture
Thank you so much ...simple but I like her.
"Wild Thang" is a totally awesome lookin' Brug-tree! You must have the purrfect growing conditions to have a Brug that large!! Are you sure "Wild Thang" is not on steroids??? :~)
Love the WILD THING!!!! Let me know if you need any other brugs. Got lots of different cuttings I can send you in the fall.
Very pretty and so HUGE!! Great picture.
Wild thang, I think I love you!
