This is one of my seedlings that was started in January. I really like this one, its been a steady bloomer with a wonderful scent. The flowers don't turn brown, they just wither and dry up:
White, but I like it:
Another view:
I like it too. The flowers have a really nice shape to them.

Thank you, jerodsmom!
Gretchen, this is a very nice white. I like it a lot. Being a good bloomer the first year is great. Good job.
GORGEOUS! It has a really fresh, perky look! A really good bloomer too, it looks like! You do very well, Gretchen!!
Very pretty Gretchen!
Very nice.
Gretchen, that's a very nice one. I had lots of whites this year too (only 2 that I will keep).
Thank you all!!! This is my favorite of all the whites. Its another double trunked standard, and I'll probably dig her up after this flush. She has bloomed like this off and on all summer. Her only downside is her size. She's about 38" tall. Wish she was bigger... Oh well. Thank you all again :)
Very pretty Gretchen. Congratulations!!!
This is a very nice one Gretchen! I like heavy bloomers with a good fragrance.
Congratulations on your heavy bloomer. I know you have enjoyed this one. Small can be good!!
Congratulations Gretchen!!
Thank you all so much -- you are all TOO KIND!!!
She really stays open like that all day? How pretty! And I think it's nice to have bushes below the trees.
Lucky girl, I'd keep it too :)
Congrats, Gretchen. Very pretty.
Vi...LOL, no she doesn't stay like that all day. I'm so sorry if I led y'all to believe that! She gets droopy during the day, then perks back up after the sun goes down. The nice thing is that her blooms don't turn brown anywhere. They just get dry and fall off, but there's no color change to speak of, I guess just a little grayish...
Thank you Ada! Thank you all!!! I sure do appreciate all your kind words :) Gretchen
PS -- Vi: I have all kinds of things planted beneath the brugs, but the most prevalent plant is Lantana 'New Gold'. I love it -- its a perennial here and gets humongous. I have to cut it back several times during the season. After the first freeze it turns black and I cut it to the ground. Around late February to early March it begins its re-emgence and by May its in full bloom. Its a real forgiving plant. Can thrive in just about any condition from drought to boggy.
Since I am OBVIOUSLY the "King " of white brugs(through no fault of my own) LOL..I gotta say..It's very nice. Keep up the good work. :-)
Don't you wish you had it, Kyle?
I am responsible for several of the views on this one. I really do like it a lot.
Gretchen,
That is very beautiful!

Gretchen that is the kind of white to have. It's beautiful
Thank you all so much! I'm glad to know that I wasn't "off the deep end" on this one. Now if I can just keep it going through the winter. Guess I'll dig her up and move her inside when this flush is over.
Gretchen, that's a beautiful white. I keep waiting for a white one to bloom. Now that DH is getting into the brug blooms, he would really love a white one. The only flowers he has ever seemed to notice or comment on before have been white ones.
Oh darn Sylvia, I wish I could give you some cuttings... I have so many whites, of course a bunch were destroyed...If I make it to Spring without another outbreak of TSWV, I'd love to share with you!
PS: I have some seeds from my garden started that are destined to end up white LOL! I will save you a few seedlings and once they are bigger and more sturdy, I'll bring them by.
I just love whites at night. Nothing beats them! This one is so floriferous. Very pretty Gretchen. I have a white floriferous seedling but it gets brown. Yours not getting brown is a real plus!
Another short seedling blooms!
