Turned out to be a nice night,our 2 days of rain have ended,and other then slightly muggy,with a gentle breeze,all in all,a great night,and I have a few blooms open.
Nice night for Brugs
A sweet little white.
Lovely Root. I'll bet you're loving the scent.
And a Yellow.
You know it Liz! gotta get back out there for a few,blowing those winter blues out of my head,nights like this make it worth it.
It's a beautiful night here in OK too, Root. I can't imagine what it would be like to have so many brugs for aromatherapy, but I'm gonna make it my quest! They are lovely. What kind is the pink one in the first pic?
Nice nite indeed!
So whacha got blooming, Doc?
They all look purdy.
They look lovely Root, Maybe you should be doing your bud watching outdoors for tonight! LOL

Thanks all! That first one is LA,it is coloring quick.Second is just a little White I like,third is GQ,I plan on giving her to my friends Mom,he wants to bring her by.
Your yard is looknig so good. The L'amour has such a nice low calyx!!
Your pictures are beautiful rooty! I love those nights, when the fragrance of the brugs is all over.
How wonderful! I know you will enjoy! Its all blooms for the rest of the summer now rooty!
Sure wish it was in my neighborhood! It's been raining (more like drizzilin, so not too bad) all day long, but now the wind is blowing about 40 mph+ gusts. Power's gone off twice tonight, and is still out across the street. My brugs are in a place outside that gets the least amount of wind, so hopefully they will be ok. They've been doing pretty good outside, all 5 of them, despite this nasty and unusual weather.
Wow Root those are looking so good! How is Arborea doing? I have to start with new plants! The mice got in the root balls of mine and they looked terrible! I forgot to tell you, my Giant EE looks great!!!!! The other bulb, is up about 4 inches (and the talk of the greenhouse).
Looking good, Root. I love to be outside when mine are blooming.
Very nice Root! You sure have the touch!
Karrie,we all have had some strange weather this year,hope yours settles down.
Tracey,let me know if you need an Arborea,I can put a start in with Carissa.
Nice Color on LA today.
Just beautiful Root!! Your yard is going to be the talk of the block again. Enjoy!!!
Hope, that she will get darker for you in the summer.
So do I Monika,this is the second day open.
Looking good. Can't wait to have more than four or five blooms open at one time. I'm ready for a tree full. Wish I had your L'Amour bloom here though. Wouldn't complain about "just one".
P & C is just opening.
Everything looks great doc!
Thanks Peggy,I just saw yours and it looks great!!
Here is Trop Sunset.
Great looking pictures Root!
Root your brugs look just great. Nice shot of your fence with the brugs in front. Donna
Say Doc, you and I seem to have the love of scent in common, please keep me informed of your opinions, K?
I see you have TS and it does look similar to GQ, are they similar in scent too? I seem to find a 'juicy-fruit' fragrance in my GQ during the day, but it smells more like DS at nite.
Got a favorite scent so far?
I love my Star, but I'm used to it and prejuidiced, lol!
I'm so jealous of all your blooms!
Without a doubt Arborea for scent,it is just my Fav.
I will go out and give GQ and TS a sniff.
I am going to have to pass on GQ,I will give her to the first interested person that comes in the yard.
I am looking at Scent,bloom size,angle of bloom,and duration of bloom.
GQ did have one turn a nice dark pumpkin,but it was after the bloom would not open anymore.And the scent was light.
Edit to say it did have a nice Vanilla tang this afternoon.

TS is carrying a nice strong scent,has good shape and angle,I will watch color,this is the first night open.
I know you are having a blast with all those beautiful brugs, Root. Hard work has it's rewards, huh??!! Yesterday, I noticed some action with one of my buds, and this am, I could not believe my eyes!!! My FIRST ever, even to see in person, a pink blossom. Do you know which one it is???
Pink in Arky and loving every second of it!!!
Root you've got some lovely blooms. And an obvious passion for brugs. It's so easy to get the brug bug! Your yard, I'd like to come and just sit on the deck and watch your brugs grow. Too bad I'm so far away.
Sherrylike: I too got to see my first ever real live pink bloom this week, and it's still blooming and loaded with buds. It's so exciting.
Linda
Thanks, Linda, I am just thrilled, this is so much fun!! I'm in zone 8a, so I suppose we have similar weather. I'd be A-okay if I could find out what is chewing my leaves and find a cure. SherryLike
Root, was that an acanthus in the bg of one of your pics? I have a neighbor that has one that's beautiful. Are they difficult to start? Do you start from cutting/seed????
Yes it is,I am going to try to collect seeds this fall.
Everything looks great Root. I'll trade humidity with ya lol. Ours is so bad it slaps you in the face when you walk out the door.
