What is the deepest pink anyone has ever seen?
Monika's "Pretty in Pink" is the darkest I have seen.
Anybody seen darker or deeper?
I am plotting to add to my collection.
thank you for your time,
Brug hugs, Karen
deepest pink possible
I've not seen it in person, but Kell's "Red" is about as deep as it can get. Here in my yard it is a toss up between MM, Susanne, and even FM can be dark pink. I had two seedlings that were pretty dark also. One unnamed and one named Monika.
is "Red" dark all over, or with a yellow throat?
I'll bring the thread back up. You can see it then. Awesome brug.
Karen, the name of the thread is "I thought I died and went to heaven". It is on the first page now.
oh yes, I remember that one,,,,,
let me go look....
Check some of Kell's threads. She has had a lot of nice pinks.
This is reminding me...when I first got into brugs this past spring, I was told that there were all kinds of pinks coming out this summer... I thought there would be some for sale also, but I didn't see them!
When will some of them be out to have in our gardens? That is what I would like to know.
Margie
I think new ones out this summer would be Mtn. Magic, Harlot, Vixen, and I'm sure there were others. The thing with newly released brugs is that some people prefer to sell them at first to recover some of the costs of growing the brugs for sale. I've released ForeverMorr now, so if you can find someone who has it and they are willing to share, it would be new also. Susanne isn't released, so there will still be some waiting time on that one. Anything else that I have, other than new seedlings, I'd be happy to share with some people next fall. It is a lot of work though and I just can't do tons of requests like I have in the past. I still have two boxes to mail out yet from this year's requests, not counting the contest brugs. I guess, tomorrow, I better get started....
Shirley...the only one of the ones you mentioned that are out that I saw for sale was Magic Mtn and that was on e-bay. For some reason I thought Tracey would have some of the new ones for sale, but everytime I go to her site it is not open for selling. Will she be back? I guess what I am trying to say, who is selling these new releases? I can understand that members are trying to re-coup some of their expenses and I didn't think that they should give them away. But, where are they available for sale?
If you know anyone who has Forever Morr...would you please e-mail me and I will look into it! Thank-you, Margie
Okay...Alice Harris has it, Tracey, Renee, Root and Kell. I'm not saying their plants are all big enough to cut on though. It's almost ten PM here and I'm not thinking real well. LOL!
Had to come back and correct my spelling. Nite everyone.

Thanks Shirley! Have a good nights sleep!
just to emphasize-
I wasn't looking for anything free.
I am only too happy to BUY a dark pink if anyone knows of a source, or has them.
Shirley, you are so sweet to go to so much trouble.
so many great people in this group
Brug hugs, Karen
Karen....let's let each other know if we find one to buy, OK?!
Margie
Thanks you guys. Brug growers are some of the best!!
they sure are, Shirley.
Margie and I are continuing in email to share our "hunts" and info. Do you want to be kept informed, or do you have plenty?
(as if there IS such a thing, hee hee)
Anyone know if we could get a brug shipped from Canada to US?
I thought I checked once before and was told "no".
Thanks Karen, but with all the new seedlings I'll be growing next year and those I kept from this year, I'm expecting to see my veggie garden get much smaller. I think I better not go for more right now. Thanks so much for thinking of me though.
I just sent in the question on the website, and I will let you know when they email me back. Unless someone else knows???
I went to the plants database and saw "cupid's blush" and "mountain magic" I liked
here is cupid's blush from tiG
that copyright notice comes up by itself, but it is NOT my pic
it was entered in plants database by tiG

karen, I believe tiG has a store, and I think it's called countrygardens???? Someone I hope will come along and help if that's not it. I hope that helps alittle. Here it is: www.countrygdn.com
Country Gardens is JT's store, I believe.
Thanks Brugie, I don't know why I thought it was tiG's store. I knew someone would help me out. He probably has that one too though. Worth checking out Karen :) Glad to help
Julie
Just checked out the link and for some reason it's not working????

You are right...his site is down.
wonder who else has a website we could send her to to check if they have that one
Here is tiG's site:
http://www.brugmansias.us/index.html
Haven't checked if she has it or not, though. I doubt anyone would have MM in too much of a quantity, being as it is a fairly new release. They grow fast, but not that fast!! lol! Next year will see it in more yards...
Karen, I don't really know how pink you want your pink to be, but for a easy to find, great tendrils, prolific bloomer and knock out scent, I'd pick Butterfly, she's a classic! She's actually mush darker for me, the flash is always on :(
Butterfly sure is one of my favorites. Awesome fragrance too.
Oh goodness, isn't that beautiful!!! I love the long tendrils on Butterfly!
thank you Violabird. That one sure is pretty.
