I have a Brug here, I thought was a Grimaldi, but I read the label wrong. It was actually labled as Unk Pink. The bloom is white and short, 6" and no smell, kinda dissapointing :( I can't find any info on an Unk Pink Brug. Anyone know what this is? Chances are this brug was mislabled in shipping?
Thanks,
J
"Unknown" = UNK
You still may have a stronger scent as she grows bigger, and produces more blooms. I think the bloom has a very nice form. It is still early in the season, and the "unknown" girl knows it. I would imagine she will produce more color and most likely more scent as the time goes by.
That's what happened for me last year with mine.
Good luck!
Hi Stv! That kinda looks like my Ecuador Pink before it colors up on me.. I love how it blooms for me... but the smell is quite faint compared to others I wont say no scent at all tho. If you stick your nose up there in the PM, maybe you will get a little scent.
Unk=Unknown, now, what does DUH mean LOL! Thanks Riker. I guess that was a little obvious! I'll wait on more flushes to come I guess. Its still cool to see one huge flower on such a little plant! Its nice to see another Coloradoan Shelly! I did stick my nose up there (sounds weird) and yes, there was a faint scent. It was there, but I had to search for it.
Thanks for the help all!

BTW Shelly,
What is the name of that brug on your profile page? The yellow one? That is cool! Ah, I have so much to learn ;)
ROFLMBO :-) Your welcome J
I'm looking at the picture and I don't think it is EP because the calyx isn't hanging vertical. It is more at an angle. I sure have no idea what it is though. Maybe after it gets bigger and blooms more, there will be a better chance of identifying it. There are so many named brugs now that it gets harder every day to ID the unknowns.
LOL. That is so funny how it hangs down so far and is so big next to the plant itself. Do not judge this till this summer. It may look entirely different outside in the summer sun and heat.
That is Becca Lynn. Unfortunately I lost that brug to a freeze this past fall. You are in for a treat with this forum! Theres so much information here, and such wonderful people.
Is this the only brug you have? I fell head over heals for them.. silly really... living in this climate, but I just cant help it, they are wonderful! There are MANY people here who grow them in much colder climates than ours... so there is always advice available.
Brugie-I wouldn't even know where to begin in identifying these things! I will post another shot later in the season, like Kell and everyone else said, I should judge it when it gets bigger and is outside. Ya, it was kinda weird to see the flower hanging lower than the plant itself! I think this is just the coolest looking thing though. I am excited to grow more. I have a Golden Lady about to bloom and the Snow Cone should open in about three days. These things are fast little growers! I am looking forward to getting a little more involved in this forum. Nice folks here and quite a bit of knowledge. Shelly, it's a cool picture you have, very nice. They've come such a long way from their little twigs, I hope I don't kill em this summer!
Thanks again all,
J
What am I missing here? I do not see Shelley's picture!! Which is Becca Lynn? Confused again!! LOL, sometimes I think there is no hope.
J, you will just love Golden Lady. Mine is full of blooms right now. I took this picture the other night. It is gorgeous. One of my favorites.
Ah, that is too pretty! Is that what I've heard refered to as a double? The GL seems to be the slowest growing of all of mine. Then, I have another "unk" pink that has leaves three times the size of my hand! It is so cool to watch these grow and develope. Becca Lynn was on Shellys member page, it is a neat photo too. Thanks for sharing that photo. So just how many Brugs are you a mother to kell?
J
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!
holy cow Shelly, I was just spent a few days on Avrum Dr about 11min from you. My DM/DA were excited about brugs and writing down names of pics I was showing them. That would've been a blast if you had something in bloom. They'd have been sold.
LOL 8ft... They would have seen only my sticks, and said NOOOOO We dont need sticks! lmao.. Maybe come summer I will be blessed with some blooms. I would be more than happy to get some cuttings to them come fall. Nothing much to cut on right now.

Hi, This is my first post here. I live in Bothell, near Seattle, WA. I just moved into a house on a half acre. Almost all lawn.
So far I have hired a landscape architect to draw plans for my yard. I have a septic tank so I have a raised burm in the back. I live alone so heavy lifting isn't a thing I can do anymore. (age, bad back, etc) I looked up my zone and it said 7 although I see someone here from Seattle and theirs says 8b. I am in awe of the brugmansias and wonder if it is even possible to grow them here without a greenhouse. And do I need to include a greenhouse in my landscape. I have two
small sheds that look like little cottages on the property but with no windows. Anyone have any ideas? I am so excited about getting going in my yard. The architect says it will take a few weeks before they can get started with the landscape.

Welcome to DG and to the Seattle (Bothell) area......I would say if a greenhouse is in your landscape budget than by all means do so, as it will help overwintering not only your brugs but other things as well. maybe a leanto style attached to one of your 'cottage sheds'.
I have a few brugs in the ground here, but as you stated my zone is a bit warmer than yours. I also planted mine in areas that recieve a good deal of protection from colder Winter winds and such.
Send pictures.....we love before and after shots.
Welcome Donna. Sounds like you will have a lot to keep you busy. I agree, if you have the funds, I would put up a greenhouse. Pictures of your place will be fun...if you will let us watch your progress with you. Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy your time in Daves Garden.
