The ones on the SuaveX are too small to take a pic of. But here on my Isabella X (both of them) they have pods coming directly out of their new "Y"s (the Y's are quite small still - just happened) but the pods are a little over an inch in length on both of them. They definitely look different to what I "thought" were pods on the SuaveX that ended up turning into more leaves. If these aren't pods, please let me know!
Here's a pic.
From what I can tell, they look like buds and not pods. I am not an expert so wait until you hear from others and their opinions.
Congrats ..............Karrie, It means soon we can see new pictures.
Oh, please forgive me of my ignorance - I thought those were the same thing. Buds means I will have flowers soon, right?
Yes these are buds and soon you will have very lovely fragrant flowers. Wow.........when I will have with my plant?
I think it really depends on the variety. The Suave X ones Y'd first, but were last to get buds (they finally have some). The Isabella X just started to Y and already have nice sized buds.

If you go out there EVERYDAY, to look for them, like I do, it seems like it takes forever!

Flowerjunkie sent me one cutting of Brugmansia two weeks ago, now cutting is blooming new leaves, I check my plant many times a day. Hope I will have flower after 5 or 6 months.

I'm not sure how long it takes from cuttings - this is my first year, and I started with seeds.
Karrie! Congratulations on your bud(s)!!! Can't wait to see the bloom photos...
Gumlla: It all depends on so many different factors. I started this Frosty Pink as a 12" cutting on January 7, 2004. Here she is on March 30, 2004. Obviously this was a cutting fom the region of the plant above the Y. It was started in a greenhouse that was kept about 70 degrees which is optimum for plant growth. Once it started to leaf out (this was a bare stick cutting), I started fertilizing it about once a week with 1/2 strength organic fertilizer mix. Hope this is helpful to you :) Gretchen
Edited to add that I also have some cuttings that were started around that time that are just beginning to bloom 7 months later...All depends. I lthink they bloom when they're good and ready and not a minute before LOL!

I guess I should consider myself lucky. I started my seeds in February - now it's early September and they are getting ready to bloom. Glad they are doing this - have just about a month left before danger of frost.
That is about right,I have some that I started in Feb.and they are budding,Congrats Karrie,be sure to take pics,and remember a watched pot never boils,LOL!
lol! thanks root! :-)

Thank you so much , it means after three or four months my plant will have flowers.
gumlla -- it could be much longer too. please remember that I said some of mine have taken 7+ months, but it can happen in a much shorter period. I don't think there is a "norm" per se.
Kaleem,
Have your Brugs formed the "Y" yet? They start to bud after forming that.
Not yet, just bloom new leaves.
I believe you have to have the "Y" first - it's un-mistakeable - you'll notice it when it arrives! Patience is the key - I would check everyday, lol!
Tomorrow I will post picture of my plant.
Would love to see it! :-)
This is plant I purchased two weeks ago, it is Adenium Obesum Desert Rose.
how long befor it blooms?
You might want to check on the tropicals forum. I have one and it took a long time, but just looking, I couldn't tell you. I'm totally a beginner with these and feel fortunate that I even got blooms. LOL!
Way to go Karrie! You've got some great looking buds!!! I know what you are going through........checking your "babies" several times a day to see if the buds are lengthening. Wait until the color starts to peek out.............ANTICIPATION, that's half the fun!
Here is mine.
Here is its side view, this cutting sent me Flowerjunkie last month.
Oh Kaleem - you do have some time to go - quite a bit of time. Just keep feeding, watering, loving it, and even play it music. That is what they love, as long as it isn't head-banger music, lol. They love classical and jazz. :-)
Thanks for advise, I will play classical music lol....
