After 3 years of trying to get my Herrenhauser Garten to bloom and watching with a very sad face as it continously dropped its buds, I finally have success!! As you can see it hasn't started coloring up yet and I don't know how deep a color it will get as we are already in the mid to upper 80's here in Florida.
Congrats MM!!! I would be afraid too get close to it!LOL!
WTG MM. You have got to be excited ... one of the few to have theirs bloom.
Yes, don't get too close. Mine bloomed last year in the fall and the bloom dropped off on the third day. It didn't even have a chance to get that orange color. I hope she drops her skirts and colors up really nice for you. Don't forget to get pictures when it happens.
Yeah!!! WTG Trish!
Good for you! Good things come to those who wait!
Bonnie
Wow...it starts out as white?? I didn't know, I would have assumed that I had the wrong plant!
Good luck and please post pictures, I can't wait to see it progress to its final color!
See, all it needed was a change of scenery. It must approve of your new house!! I am envious. I have several plants for several years now and they do not even set buds.
Congratulations MzM!!
Way to go Trish!! I'm still waiting on mine to put out buds that hang on to bloom.
How exciting Trish.......can wait to see it open. I have had buds but never blooms.
Alright Trish. Should get a deep dark color in this heat and humidity.
I'm so happy bout this and for you Trish!
Congrat!!! I am happy for you! :o)
YEAH blooms!!!! I blame Cala for sending me one last year LOL. I swore I wouldn't winter it over. Of course I did. To add insult to injury, I planted it in a 'prime' planting location. If I don't get blooms this summer I'm sending it to Texas....
Hey, I got mine from Susie about three summers ago. If mine doesn't do anything this summer, I think I'll send it back too. LOL!
I got mine from Susie too .... have had no blooms on mine either!
You sure are going to have a lot of HG tree's come fall. Heck, I might even ship myself with my HG package. I'll winter over there too. Pay back time. LOL Are you scared?
Deb-send me your address. I'm a big honking dork and forgot to email you.
Yay Trish!
Happy for you :)
Kristi,
Sent you email thru Dave's. I wasn't worried. Thanks!!!
O.K. Trish where's todays pic. We need this color change step by step lol.
Hey gang your scaring me!!!
Clare sent me one from calaforny,and it is growing real good,more than tripled since getting it,so what are the growing conditions?What it throws buds too?Years and no blooms,I must be having a bad dream,somebody pinch me so I can awaken!!!!
Tman,from what I gather,don't feed it!
I want update pictures too,I just hope all this posting has not made it drop,if so,don't blame me,I did not even sneeze!
Too late! already been feeding it a lot!!!
Thats probably why its growing so well!
I did the same.I still have not seen a Y.
And how long has that been???
This will be the end of my second year,I am not giving up on this one,I am just putting it in my toughlove program.
LOLOL Root
ya'll don't jinx my bloom!! Here it is yesterday.. thank goodness my Uncle decided the flower was nicer looking than me!!
and here it is today... starting to color up real nice. amazing that it does it from the inside out...
and last picture for today of it... :) I guess ya'll can't tell how excited I am.
Wow !!Looks like to beauties in one!!!!
Love it! Hope mine does SOMETHING this summer.
I hope mine blooms this year. It had buds twice last year, but both times they dropped.
Looks like I'll have to make a special HG garden for all the ones that don't bloom. Guess I could make it down by the gator hang-out!
Gosh! It sure is pretty!! Congrats again MzM!
lol Susie, maybe the gator poo will do somthing for the HG? :o)
MsM....Just beautiful !!! I love the color on the second photo of todays! Please post as it is gets darker...that darkening feature of brugs is really interesting to me!
Are there other flowers that do that also? Anyone know?
Trish so beautiful, I'm in awe and growing anxious for my little one. I thought for the longest time I would lose it. All of a sudden it is covered with leaves and looks so cute.
Whatcha think 3 - 5 years before I see flowers? I will wait however long it takes!
WOW, Congrats!
Most of them do that, Margie.
Wow Ms. Munché!! Are you crossing it with something special??
Congrats MsM!
Mine bloomed last spring and as a first bloom it took 5 days to color up to full orange. But the blooms last 8-10 days each. After the first blooms it was quicker to color. It's well worth the wait.
