now that some of these are blooming I am going to spend more time here and less time cornering the beenie baby market on e bay
off the 'bay'and into the garden
It's beautiful, mailman.
found one in another color
this is all Brugies fault.I use to have normal hobbies
last one.got to finish my homework
Hey, looking good. That pale pink one looks like Cool Blush. It was a good bloomer and set seed easily. Hey....I'm not done with your new obsession yet. Don't get too comfortable with the ones you have. LOL!
Very nice mailman! There is no stopping you now.
Hey Phil, do you think that lake water is helping them? Thanks for the special delivery to my mailbox today. We all can't wait to get them growing.
It starts out with one bruge.Three years later I have thinned down to 50 plants.I need more land ,more pots ,more soil mix.If someone could get Ted Turner to start growing these ,Montana would be a sweeter smelling state in just a few years.
Shirley,I had a suspicion this would be a good day for you.
Tickled me pea green.
So you are the deliverer of good things. Emails are flying far and wide. Wait until you see Shirley's brugs next year!
He is doing very well Liz. He knows how to collect pollen and to pollinate now, so I expect to start hearing about seed pods hanging from his plants real soon.
just found a thread talking about using epson salt mixture to dicourage slugs.does it work?I have been using slug bait ,but with the weather lately it mildews and I dont want it to start rotting the stalks.
the pink one may be shirley peach.had some problems with deteriorating labels.have corrected,hopefully.
Well, time for me to call it a day. Have to get up and water because I didn't do it tonight.
Hi mailman . . I can see our dear Shirley had gotten you addicted already. How lucky you are that you have her on your route. She is quite special. I think it is great that you decided to join us here at Dave's and I hope we see you here frequently. Frannie
Hello mailman and Welcome. So glad to have you here among us. Everything looks so pretty and healthy!! I think all of us has had the label problem. Keep us posted and I sure hope we will be seeing more from you! Deb
Beautiful pictures!!!! Congrats!
What's buzzin' cuzzin? Like your brugs and welcome to Daves, I will tell Ethan you are here too!!!!
Any friend of Brugies is a friend of all of ours! Welcome Mailman. I wish you would be me a similar parcel! LOL
Welcome mailman and thank you Shirley, that the Brugmansia world has one more member lol!
Your flowers are very pretty mailman. I bet, that they smell nice in the evening.
Welcome Mailman! Great pictures!
Welcome to Dave's and the addiction, Mailman.
Hi Mailman let me know what Beanie Babies you are looking for. I volunteer at a mission store and we get TONS of Beanie Babies in. Most with all their tags I can keep my eye out for you. We price them at 50 cents each and never have enough room for them all. Recently we got two large garbage bags of McDonalds small beanies still in their wrapers in.
Welcome mailman, great looking brug.I see Shirley got somebody else hooked too. Another beanie collector too. Wow! What ones are you looking for?
Welcome mailman. You are so lucky to have Shirley on your route, she's one of our favorite Brug mentors ! I'd love to be able to see and smell her yard every day! Your Brugs look so healthy! We love seeing your pictures!

Mailman is in KC for a week but I know he would want to thank all who have posted. We both love this site and the new addiction. I know almost nothing yet but am looking forward to learning. Loving Wife
Hi Linda,
Glad you jumped in. I had forgotten that Phil was going to be gone this week until I noticed he was delivering the mail today. Hope you are keeping those brugs happy while he is gone. Wish you could come out and see what all is blooming in my yard right now.
And please give Phil my phone number,Shirley has it,if you talk to him,tell him call me while he is in town.
Shirley, tried to call but line is busy - wonder why! Could you call me at 5991 with rootdoctor phone number when you get a chance and I will pass it along to Phil tonight. thanks. My brug baby sitting was going fine until the storm - had a number take a little roll towards the lake!! Good thing there was not too much damage or I would be fired for sure.
Sorry Phil. I've had company for days. Just didn't get back to this thread until today. I'm glad Linda was able to get ahold of me though.
