Just ran across this picture of Kyle checking out my brugs this summer. Sure wish everything was still so green here.
Kyle checking out my brugs....
Nice foliage, I love the big wavy leaves.
Goodness, what beautiful, healthy, bug free leaves!!!!!!!! Zone 5a is truly blessed!!
Shirley that is not Whiskers with that deep serration it is???
Does that picture make me look fat?? LOL It ain't the picture that does that! Pizza,chinese,ice cream..yu get my drift!! LOL
Donna, those were all seedlings. I'm sure the serrated ones were Whiskers crosses, but I can't tell you which was which. Kyle, surely must be the camera. LOL!
Those leaves, just to the right of Kyle's right shoulder....??????????? Who do they (the leaves, not the shoulder) belong to? Gorgeous!
Ya know, I think that one plant,to Kyle's right, is Enchanted Double White X L'Amour. This is a picture of it when it was young.
I love that heavy serration
Donna, this is the flower that came from that brug. I fell in love with this one. It resembles an arborea in it's size and shape. From a distance, you would think it was an arborea.
Yep,Kyle you look fat,Doc recommends vacation and relaxation!
I just love the big prehistoric looking foliage on some of the brugs with the deep cut serrations and heavy leaf veins.
a'la Jurassic Park ............ lol
Kyle might have been checking out your brugs but did you check out Kyle's pockets when he was done? LOL
You guys!!! I just love those Brugs. Now, isn't anyone anxious to know how they grow in Hawaii????
LOL
She a beauty Shirley. She really does look like an Arborea. Does she mind the heat? My Arborea bit the dust. Couldn't take the heat and humidity here or the cool and no humidity of being inside. My Cuelbra gets pretty bad in mid summer. have to put her in total shade which I have very little of. I tuck her under Monster brug.
I can't believe those plants in zone 5!! You must have them in containers? How big of containers? Do you have a very long summer there? We have such a short season that I would think to get a plant like that they would have to come from a greenhouse.
Is that what you do? This is the first time I have any. Just got some cuttings from you all. Much appreciated by the way.

Alohahoya2000 maybe we should make a visit and see :)
I see you are in 5a Brugie. Do those beautiful plants stay out all winter? I am not familiar with them.
No, in my zone they have to come inside, but due to not having a greenhouse, most of mine are held over as cuttings. The ones in the picture with Kyle were seedlings planted in the ground. I had about 50 brugs in pots, some of those were gallon to three gallon size with seedlings, but about 25 cuttings were in large pots. 10-20 gallon size. There were 100 + seedlings/cuttings planted in the ground. Kyle and Phil, my "mailman" came and helped dig most of them out of the ground. All of those in the ground were lucky to get fertilizer two times during the summer. That was just cheap fertilizer for yard and garden, tossed on top of the mulch and rained in.
Donna, that one was right out in full sun all day and didn't miss a beat. Hopefully there will be cuttings available next year, but some of the people who have starts of this one will have to help out. I'm getting to arthritic to mail boxes and boxes of cuttings like I have in the past.
I understand about the shipping Shirley. It's getting hard for me to do too. I only did 20 this year with 3 kinds compared to 60 plus last year with 14 to 18 kinds.
