Scoot does your foliage not burn? No matter what I do or where I put this one it burns. If the foliage stayed pretty I would keep it.
Variegated brugs
Beautiful variegated Brug pictures everyone!
Beautiful pictures, Datdog! I have mine on my patio which gets filtered sun, and perhaps that is why my leaves don't burn.
Shirley, thanks for clearing that up. Perhaps I am wrong about the picture. If the seller is a DG member, that I would feel very comfortable purchasing from him, and that price is a good one for Snowbank (backpeddling, backpeddling, LOL).

Beautiful gardens and beautiful Brugs everyone. I'll be growing a hybridizer's cross this year so I am anxious (eh that would be excited...) to see what happens. Great pics!

I'm still lost back a ways trying to figure out who Terry is. LOL!
The plant on ebay says it is a cloned plant, I don't want to seem like a real dummy but what is a cloned plant??
I think in the case of the one in question on eBay, it is mass produced by tissue culture. Cloned could probably also mean that one is reproduced from cuttings since that is the only other way to get identical plants.

Shirley, that was my mistake. Sorry about that.
LOL, Clare. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has problems with names.
Snowbank can't be sold as rooted cuttings by anybody? just wondering,
kathy
I think only authorized sellers can sell it and their plants probably come from TerraNova. You can buy from Alice Harris also. She is authorized to sell Snowbank and her name here is Abutilon.
Bad case of SERIOUS Brug Envy here. Just gotta get some of those variegateds....
Is it true of Brugs as well that the variegateds like less sun than the solid green ones?
Pant*^**Drool^^*^

Carol, It's the white part that sunburns. try some shade from the hot afternoon sun.
Ya can take a tall cold drink , a chair and a sun umbrella to protect the tender lil angels while you sit by them telling stories of how magnificently beautiful they will be when they grow up.
Yea, that should work .... *snicker*
Seriously ,
Snowbank needs protection because she has such wide white leaf borders but Maya did just fine in full sun

You know Clare, I noticed that the ebay auction plant has hardly any variegation compared to everyone's pictures. Mine has lots more variegation too. I haven't had any flowers yet, but can't wait for some after looking at Kristi's pics!!
Funny, I was looking at my suaveolens variegata today and thinking it must go. There are better variegated ones and much better flowers.
Here is my Maya in November, just a few months ago!!
And looking up at them
Hi everyone, they all look great. Datdog, did you try Snowbank in the shade? Though until I saw Scooterbugs shade garden I thought they would need more sun. But I think your plant looks wonderful sitting on the patio.
And Kell, the last pic you posted, "looking up at them" is just beautiful. No wonder they're called Angels Trumpets.
I have snowbank, and maya and the S variegata, I surely didn't realize that about selling snowbank though, so the only thing I can do is trade or give it away right, I can do that ha? are there any other brugs I should know about not selling cuttings of for future use. sorry to take over the thread here. I was planning on selling rooted cuttings next year when I cut back some. Just don't want to do anything wrong LOL.
the pictures are absolutely beautiful, This is it on the variegated forms right? I did see that pic of the variegated frosty pink, that was georgious. wish there were more out there. like these.
kell those are lovely, but then all your plants are, can I come live with you LOL
I just love the variegated ones..... they look awesome with or without the blooms.
Thanks to all of you for sharing your pics!
Kell, Clare_ Ca, datdog, your Maya's are just beautiful.
I wanna play!
Having just started acquiring brugs in Nov, I haven't had my first season outside but the variegated ones immediately caught my eye. This is the Peaches and Cream which is one of the first cuttings I ordered. It's bulked up nicely in the basement and I'm soooo looking forward to getting outside for some real growth and blooms.
I got another variegated that just hasn't done too much. Definitely not like P&C.
oh i am in heaven. i just love the varigated brugs.
8ftbed, that is wonderful, now where you say you ordered this from or you can send me yours LOL I must have it it is so beautiful, make sure to post pic's when it blooms.
I have never seen such beautiful Brugs as Kell's I wait everyday for pic's. Boy I hope that mine will be as wonderful when I can get them back outside. It's Monday and cold snowed yeaterday and I keep looking out and getting very impatient I NEED SPRING IN A HURRY the craving for blooms is driving me nuts and that really is a short putt.
Snowed yesterday -- I couldn't take it. My Saturday and Sunday were low 80s, I worked in the yard in shorts and a bathing suit top (got to get a starter tan before I go to FL). I sweated and stank and loved it. Pulled some of the larger ones out of the gh, had to make room for the babies. It is supposed to be cooler here this week, but I don't think it will go below 40. Hope not anyway, got no room left to drag them back in.
Thanks thinkdirt, but I only show you them when they are looking good!! Out of all I have, a few are bound to look good at all times!
Doris, if you saw this mess, you would run and never look back. I must make a concerted effort to stop being obsessed with being on the computer. I talk more about gardening than I actually garden!! And it is showing.
8ftbed, I wonder if you really have Maya there. I was convinced by Davers that my P& C was really Maya because it was so robust. P&C evidently is a limper. Yours is a beauty.
So Linda, you had snow but it was in the 80s???
thinkdirt - It was one of 6 I ordered from Valleygrow right after I stumbled onto brugs and DG and before I new any better. I'm getting real anxious for one of them to bloom - ANY of them. Renee had even sent one home with me last month because it had buds and she wanted me to experience it. However it has since dropped the buds it had. Was probably insulted and ticked from the winter move, repotting and new surroundings. I remembered I took pictures as soon as I got my first brugs and was rehydrating them. In this wilted mess you can see the P&C kind of waving at us.
I remember ordering from Valley Grow way back. What a mess. I think I paid more than $80 for the sickest looking twigs. Most of them died . One was not even a full cutting, it was half gone, lenghtwise. I still have pictures of them when they came. I was soooooooooooooo disappointed!! At least you got a winner there.
Blaine, I think you might have Maya. P&C for me anyway, had longer and more narrow leaves. The leaf nodes were extremely close together on the trunk too. I could be wrong, but those leaves look more like Maya.
Is that "Maya" the same as "Mayan Magic"? If it is I will just cry - because the two cuttings I got didn't take.
Well that would be a bonus I guess. Seems like Maya isn't easy to come by unless you know someone. At least it's variegated and growing well and if it blooms, we're in business!!
Speaking of which... I think I might repot the 3 newest additions to my gang. Somehow they pushed their way up to the window on the table with the big ones when we got home from your house the other night. All shiny and getting their daily pot twist with the others, they blended right in!
Karrie, Mayan Magic was a green sport from Maya. Not the same. It was sure pretty though. Maybe you can get one from another member again.
Glad those babies have your place for home now. You will like them all, I'm sure, even if they aren't yellow or orange. LOL! I'll work on those colors for this fall.
Are there two kinds of Peaches and Cream. Because the P&C I have isn't variegated.
My best answer would be that you don't have P&C if it isn't variegated. If it is small, maybe the variegation isn't showing up well yet, but should be showing something.
My mistake, your are right Brugie what I have is a strawberry cream, I just got my creams mixed up. Leave it to me.
No one ever told me how do you clone a plant??
Taking cuttings is the only way to clone a brug unless you send it out for tissue culture or unless it is a sang or arborea.
Shirley, I am horrible with names. I meet someone, shake their hand and say their name, and one minute into the conversation, their name is gone. Just terrible! Looks really bad when you say, "Glad to meet you...ah...ah.."
Kell, I noticed that little variegation too which is why I thought it was Maya and not Snowbank. Snowbank's variegation is much more pronounced. Your Maya is beautiful, Kell! I think the variegation shows up more in part shade, don't you?
Carol, I thought you had Minor's Claim? Did you lose it? I agree that it is gorgeous and a must-have.
Kristi, Shirley, Claire, Kell, all of your plants are just gorgeous. The peach colored blossoms with the varigated leaves Kristi are beautiful. Surely too bad about the sunburn.
Jeanette
Oh my gosh- these are all so beautiful!
Thanks! They all are beautiful aren't they? I guess I am going to get the Miner's Claim. I can't believe I will pay money for a frosty flower. LOL!!
I agree Clare, the picture is wrong for Snowbank. I wish I was just bad with names, I am bad with everything these days. Oh well...................................
