The first of many

I have had many firsts this summer: first brugs, first blooms, first anxiety attack over mites, cats,slugs, ebay disapointments, nursery pink no-names that bloomed only white. My husband thinks I have gone bonkers. I have bought shelving , grow lights for seeds. I have an account with Parks, Messengers, and other gardening supply. I now worry whether to cut above the Y or below . This is from a person that thought gardening was to grow amaryllis bulbs at Christmas. Kell, I am what you have made me. Hope you are happy : )

BoFo...Join the crowd !!! Some of your firsts were my firsts also! At least you know you are not alone and are in the right place for assistance and support! Happy gardening! Hope you are happy, too :))

Beautiful! Is that an Arborea? Does it smell good?

One of my favorites,very nice shot!

Beautiful flower, love the foliage. Have you started dreaming about them yet?

Welcome BoFo! The plant in the picture should not be cut back this year. She is too small.
It is a very pretty B. arborea. She is one of my favorites.

I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about when I will get my first bloom, I have lots of seedlings,Brugs, and Daturas (only 2" tall) and I have 4 2ft tall cuttings with leaves that I purchased on ebay, very healthy but have no idea how long befor I get blooms,I get quite enviouse when I see everyone showing their flowers, wish I could get one that is READY to bloom.

My goodness! Hi BoFo DO RO! LOL LOL. You posted! Your brug looks great. Welcome to our world of pure lust and insanity!

AWESOME PICTURE!!!!!

I love arboreas,please tell me its arborea...

Your Arborea looks wonderful. Don't you just love the fragrance they have in the evening? I'd love to have you for a neighbor so my husband wouldn't think it was just me that had gone bonkers!! LOL! Keep those pictures coming.

Your Arborea looks great.

Very pretty, BoFo! Rest assured, you aren't alone here...

Wow! What a great brug!! Welcome Bofo!!! Take a big sniff for me please! :o)

Welcome BoFo ... it is great to have to here with us. Great photo and one of my favorites.

So glad to see you posting. Your plant is beautiful and this is a favorite of mine. We would love to have you join in the brug forum often.

Hi BoFo! You are sorta in my neck of the woods. I'm in the same boat with you -- just joined Dave's this year and have since become the neighborhood crazy plant lady! Love your Arborea, it's beautiful!

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts!!

Great pic BoFo. It sounds like you're a lost cause like the rest of us. Welcome to the club.

wow, lucky for you to have an arborea! i have been looking and looking and no luck.

Hi BoFo !

Hugs and a big Welcome to DG .
That is some way to start in brugs, with an Arborea no less.
Lucky You !

Hello, and welcome! You poor girl, if Kelley started this addiction for you, you are already a lost cause, hehehe, but you are in good company!

Welcome BoFo.

BoFo:

Welcome to our world and our madness! You are now among a great bunch of people. You will become deeply entrenched in the Brug culture after you have your first brug dream. I anticipate having one tonight because I'm attending plant sales on October 1st and 2nd. Who knows what I will find...{{{smiles}}}
