My first Brug bud finally opened this evening. I have finally smelled that intoxicating aroma I have read so much about....WOW!!!
I am in heaven!
Thank you MsCritterKeeper for sending me these cuttings. I am truly hooked....no doubt about it.
Another shot................
How exciting. The first of many I am sure!
Oh I hope so Kell.......I counted 5 more buds on this plant.
I have 4 other plants not yet budding. And about 12 seedlings yet to Y
Now if I could just figure out how to cross an Iochroma purple with a White Brug to get that lavender Brug....hmmm
Wondeful! The baby is blooming for you! Don't ya just love that intoxicating aroma ! Wait until that white one blooms..it smells even better! MsC
Marc, GOOD JOB!
But you must know I am jealous! You got cuttings and I started from seed.
So when these babies I've been babying since they weren't born finally do something, you better hoot for me too!
(((hugs)))

Congrats on your blooms, Marc.
Isn't this fun? Worth waiting for aren't they? Like being in Heaven. Well, close.
Congrats. Are you truly hooked yet? Usually the intense fragrance will get you right off the bat. I'm sure glad you have blooms and she looks great.
Karrie I promise to break out the PomPoms and do ya a cheer when your seedlings bloom LOL
MsCK, if indeed the white smells better than this I can hardly wait....WOW!
Brugie, I woke up around Midnight from dogs barking....and well had to run out and smell the flower again......I'm a gonner :-)
Thanks ahelms :-)
Hibiscus your right Heaven just has to smell like this....they are truly well named as "Angel's Trumpets"
Heh Heh Heh, Marc, sounds like you're hooked! I started out with one last year, and now have >30. I've got 4 with buds, that I haven't seend bloom before, it's so exciting. last evening I just sat on the deck under my pink, that looks very similar toyours, and just relaxed, breathing the wonderful perfume of the brug.

Glad you got to smell one,it makes it all worth while,Congrats!
Thanks everyone.....I truly am hooked now.
In all honesty, I thought when I first joined DG and found the Brug forum that, well you all were a bit 'looney'.
Please accept my apologies for thinking such things of you....not that they aren't true. LOL
I now feel as looney about Brugs as I thought all of you were/are. hehehehehehehe
