Four davesgarden and allegras-foren members met this weekend to have a mini roundup in my garden. From left to right are: Uli, monika, allegra and Gwist. They had arrived yesterday afternoon and have left this afternoon. We had a wonderful time together. It was a great pleasure for me to meet Gwist and Uli in person. All three have a great sense of humor and we had many laughs together. But we also talked about Brugmansias lol!
These are the only pictures I was able to make lol
Today. waiting at Fulda trainstation
Loaded with plants, Gwist is getting ready to step into the Intercity Express

What a great day you all must have had, Monika!
You know we all wish we were there with everyone. :(
How nice to meet everyone...thank you Monica!
How special! I bet you had the best time. Gwist must be one happy camper!
Hi Gwist! Hi Allegra!! Hi Uli!! Hi Monika!! There is not a nicer group of people!
Next time maybe we all will be there also!
Wonderful! So this is the famous BoF and Ingrid. Gwist looks great as usual and I'm jealous as all get out over those big newspapers they're carrying.
Liz, do you think they would allow us to bring those newspapers on the plane if we were to visit? LOL! I'm so glad you all had such a great time. Everyone looks like they had a great time and I'll bet there is some planting going on right now.
I didn't notice those *newspapers* the first time....very, very, lucky people!!!
Yeah,its just reading material,LOL
Its so good to then all and glad you had a good visit....
wonder how much a plane ticket is........
LOL! Liz, this is not BoF. Uli has the same name as allegras husband. BoF had to stay home and take care of all the plants lol.
Looks like you had a great time!!
I am glad you got a chance to talk Brugs,it looks like it was a very nice day!!
AHHH, I was going to say BoF looked nothing like his avatar! LOL
Looks like you guys were having a great time. Nice to put faces with names too.
What a beautiful group of people and I know a good time was had by all. Monika, are you close to Ramstein AFB?
How wonderful to see you all, nice getting a face to go along with the name..
Kell....are we suppose to look like our Avatars? LOL
Great pictures, Monika! Glad you all had a nice visit!!! And, thanks for sharing with the rest of us :) Gretchen
What a nice group photo of you all. Glad you all had a good time.
Great pictures, Monika. I know you all had a wonderful visit. Wish we all could have been there. It would have really been fun then. LOL
Wow Monika! You must have really enjoyed everyone! I'm just jealous....I wish I had all those newspapers! LOL I know you had a blast.....send more pics, some with blooms!
Great picture of all of you. I know everyone had a great time and it is good to be able to put a name with a face. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Well,I had a wonderful time,Monika,but I've only had time last night to check those lovely plants,and fall into bed,lol.
We were absolutely spoiled by Monika and Frank, and well,I was in awe when I saw the plants and the gardens. A lot of love and care is invested in Monika and Franks' garden,and we see this everytime she posts yet another gorgeous picture for us. I am one happy camper,Kell! I had lost a lot of Brugs when my neighbor took care of them while I was in the US,but I found some very exciting stuff at Monika's.I finally have Mobisu and Grazie,and I can't wait to see how they do in my garden!!Once again ,thanks Monika and Frank for welcoming us into your home.I have learned a lot in the last two days and it was heaven walking under those Brug trees.
Delecie,Ramstein is about 2 or 3 hours west of Monika and it is a city onto itself.
Hi Gwist! You need to visit more here on Dave's. We miss you!
Hi Kell! I miss everyone,too,but I have been too tired to do more than check and delete e-mails.I was amazed at the amounts of work that was waiting for me when I returned,but I am almost finished(after 2 months,lol)and I think that bout of pneumonia had knocked me out.The old gray mare just ain't what she used to be!I also just lost my cat to what I believe was a fox attack,so I haven't been such a happy camper lately...until yesterday,of course,lol.
Gwist:
I'm sorry about your cat :-( and thank-you for the information about Ramstein. My son will be stationed there towards the end of this year and during his tour there I'd like to visit him if I can fit a vacation into my schedule. If I can get there, I'd love to visit Monika and Frank.
How very nice for you all to have gotten together. Hello Gwist.. (waving madly) I'm sure that they were treated to a wonderful day admiring your gardens, Monika.. wished I was there too!
Hi Gwist. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your cat. Pets are a part of our families and it is hard to deal with their loss. I am glad that your time with Monika, Frank, and friends was so rewarding. Monika has such knowledge to share. I wish I could be there sitting under a brug or two and talking about them. You look great in your pictures and that smile on your face pretty much tells the story. Don't work too hard. Hope to see you soon, here and there...LOL!
Thank you all for your nice comments.
We had a wonderful time together and it would have been nice to have all my davesgarden friends here also.
Gwist, allegra plans another visit in the summer, when the brugs are in full bloom and you sure will be welcome to visit us again and we will look forward to it.
And you all will be welcome in our little garden.

Thanks for sharing your photos, Monika. I know everyone was very happy with their "NEWSPAPERS".
Gwist, I'm so sorry you lost your cat. It's so hard when we lose a pet. I envy you getting to visit with Monika and Frank. I know you all had a wonderful time.
I hope you are feeling much better now Gwist. Too sad about your kitty. I would be crushed. Glad to hear Monika fixed you up with some special brugs to cheer you up.
I was so surprised to hear on the rose forum that you were visiting with Lousia awhile back. You sure get around. You saw Tonny and also Padre didn't you? I bet you have had such fun!
Speaking of Padre, anyone hear from him lately? I hope he is doing well.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your cat, Gwist. I don't visit this forum that often but like to look at all the happy faces.
Gardening puts everyone close to nature and that has a way of brightening even the saddest feelings.
Sounds like such a fun time....
Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I've been wondering about Padre for the past month or so. I think of him everytime I pass by a brug that he sent me. I sure hope everything is going well for him. He travels a lot, doesn't he?
Gwist, sorry about your kitty! Stay well and go back to Monika's for another visit soon! We love the pics!
Looks like you all had a great time. You're so lucky to be able to meet each other. It would be a dream come true to have a chance to visit Monika!
Sorry to hear about your cat, Gwist. How sad. I'm surprised a fox would attack a cat. That worries me... I've seen a fox out in our field here.
I heard from Padre a couple of weeks ago and he was going vacationing to Germany and several other places and said he was going to work on his tan.
I'm so glad you were all able to get together. It is so nice to be able to meet people you have spent many hours chatting with.
*bump* Just for fun
