Flowerjunkie (Daisy) sent me cutting and now I have a beautiful plant........ have many buds, one is going to open in few days. I am too much excited because this is my first Brug's bloom.
Kaleem
My first bloom
Kaleem Congratulations!!!!
Gumlla, I am so excited for you, when it bloom please stick your nose in and enjoy the scent and send it to me. I won't have any in bloom for another couple of months. I await the first bloom of the season so it takes me to places in my mind that I can only imagine all those Happy Places.

Congratulations Kaleem. It is so exciting to see the very first bloom.
Kaleem, that's wonderful. The very first bloom is always so special, take lots of pictures, smell it frequently, and just rejoice in it's beauty. The blooms that follow will be very close to as exciting as the first.
Congratulations.
I've wondered if brugmansias are common, infrequent or rare, in Pakistan.
Looks like it's going to be a big one. Does it have a name?
Awesome Kaleem, this is great news, and she looks so healthy too! I agree with Hibiscus, it's HUGE too! Congrats on your first bloom, I know you must elated with excitement :)

kaleem
What a special time for you! Best wishes on a beautiful bloom and many more...
Margie
I'm sure you will love it. The waiting is hard though. LOL! Enjoy!
I'm watching this thread Kaleem.
I may have my first bloom soon. A couple have budded and dropped but the I.P. has kept one bud that I can see the silhouette inside is finally extending and starting to fill into the calyx. I was also sad to see last night that the other bud on the same plant now had a dark stem and was drooping.
Why this happened with your plants? My plant have 4 to 5 buds and all are okay, I watered twice a day and plant is very healthy, used only manure, sand and clay.
Kaleem
congrats, kaleem! i wish to post pictures like that soon. but my brugs haven't taken off.
Kaleem, it's probably because 8ftbed's plants aren't outside yet. It is still very cold where he lives. It will probably be another month before he or I can put our plants outside, maybe even longer. You are lucky to have good weather.
Congratulations! I know you will love the smell of the flower. I cant wait to see pictures!
Very exciting! I was excited on my first one last week as well! Hope yours smells better than mine!
J
Me too! I want to see it open and enjoy in the excitement with you. I wanna know how it smells!!! It looks Great, Congrats again

Yes you are right, his plants will be in the rooms .... I just noticed that he is living in zone 5.
Guys you all increased my excitment...... but bud is still increasing the size. Waiting for the bloom anxiously.
Kaleem
Kaleem, congratulations! How exciting for you. I recently had my first, too, and I remember hovering over it as if to hurry it along. Enjoy!
Here is today's photo.... still waiting for the bloom. size of the bud is approximately 10 inches long.
Anticipation,they sure seem to take thier time,you are getting very close!Soon!
It won't be much longer. LOL
Here the phots are, at last.
One more. Thanks every body for giving me company during this waiting period.
Kaleem
Just beautiful, Kaleem... I am so happy for you!! How is the scent?
Jackie
Whoever coined the phrase "Patience is a virtue" probably grew brugs!
Kaleem, do you know what variety this is?
Plus, MG99 asked earlier if brugs were uncommon in Pakistan and I'd like to know as well. My first bloom is about where yours was at on the 28th.
I can't explain the feeling after .... wonderful smell direct from the Heaven.
I am the only one in this city who have Brug, very very rare in the pakistan, never seen in any other city here.
I am thankful of Daisy who sent me cutting of this.
ahelms and Brugie also sent me seeds now these are in the pots and pots are in the bags and bags are in the garden.......
Thanks
kaleem
take a deep breath kaleem - Oh wait! Don't do that since you're already intoxicated.
Go outside and take a deep breath.
Now - do you remember the name of this cutting?
:)
