mine average 5 days, but Spring Peach has had blooms for a week.
End of Season fun. Come Play!
Kell, I think Butterfly smells like strong smelling baby powder. I love her fragrance. Next to Versi. Orange, she is my favorite.
Very pretty blooms Eileen. You are right....this thread has been very enjoyable.
I am going to have to smell it! Thanks Brugie.
Bluegrass, I wish they lasted weeks. LOL. I t depends on the heat usually and your watering. I would say 4 to 5 days is average for it to be in prime condition. What it lacks in longevity, it usually makes up for in amount and frequency of
Ellen, I love your Eventide X Butterfly. Such a pretty pink color .
Very pretty, Eileen.
HI ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURE
Great picture Bob. Before I enlarged it, I couldn't figure out the shape and thought it was a brug. LOL!
Bob, your picture is oh so beautiful!!! I love it when the sky looks like that...
Great picture, Bob.
Bob than is an incredible pic
I'll play. This is the last I'll see of Whiskers, it's just too buggy for me

Oh Vi bugs or not she is a keeper. Bugs only bad thing about her
Very nice. I have no Brugs YET, so I live vicariously through your photos, for now. Thanks for all the great eye candy!

Wow, how many different brugs do you grow? I love Whiskers.
Gorgeous pictures Clare. It really is to bad that your Pink Beauty has such small flushes. LOL!
Clare, could I move in with you, I'd work for food. Your brugs are so lovely I almost swoon!! Well, maybe you've read my wind storm brug story, and to top that off, the worst thing that can happen in a home is for a toilet to overflow and I'm grateful that mine did not - but, I got the second worst problem, water leak, on the weekend. So, I'm spending this beautiful day under the sink, not a pretty sight, your brugs are truly a breath of fresh air!!!!!
Alas,all I have to offer today is 'enchanted',whose little buds are just beginning to sally forth.Perhaps she will yet don her full regalia and bless us with her beauty and perfume.
Beautiful, Clare. Looks like you're in Brug Heaven!
Your Brugs are beautiful!! I have a real case of zone envy!!
Bonnie
Thanks, you guys!
Bluegrass, I'm not sure how many different varieties I grow. I think I counted 25 plus seedlings, but I'll have to count again!
Shirley, LOL! PB is bare now so she is resting, but I think I see buds forming again.
Sherrylike, A windstorm made a lot of my brugs bare also. I'm so sorry about your water leak. The last house that I lived in had a septic tank, which the landlords never flushed or maintained, and one day it flooded the lower level of the house. It wasn't pretty.
Thanks, Angela. I am in Brug Heaven with you all.
Thanks, Bonnie.

Clare, I just finished looking at all of your lovely brug pictures. Each one was simply gorgeous, thanks so much for sharing them with us! I can only imagine what your yard must look like, with all of them blooming - but the pictures sure help...
Eileen
Thanks, Eileen. I'm pretty fortunate that I live in such a nice climate. Some of my brugs bloomed all summer long, but some bloomed sporatically. My Ecuador Pink hardly bloomed at all this summer. Some are in containers, and some are in the ground. Here's a view of my front yard, looking toward my house from the street.
Here's another angle:
Incredible pics Clare.
Thanks, Donna! Do you recognize any flowers? Many of them are from your plants! Hugs:-)
Well!!! Okay, Donna, this is for you: Arky should be 'dressed' like you dressed Clare in CA!!!! Okay??
I would Sherry but as I stated before I chopped and sent all my good brugs to TX for safe keeping. Only have Monster, Golfito and Frosty Pink to offer this time the others are way to small. I am not spending another fortune to have them shipped back. My friend rooted them and is selling them to recover our expenses. She is keeping one of everything for me in case some of mine don't come back. The huge trunks were not happy being cut this early in the season and were weeping fluids for over a week. My L'Amour has shown no signs of new growth and the others have so I am worried about her.
