Here is an update on that 18" cutting. She is now about 20" high. The white is SO white...
Monster Brug takes off
And that X called Peau de Soie...3' tall.
Edited to add that the reddish brown spots on the leaf facing the camera are what I asked about in another post. I took them to the Plant Pathologist at the UofH and they were diagnosed as a fungus....

WOW congratulations
That is such a bright white. Almost doesn't look real. What is that cutting from?
Great pictures Carol. You sure do get them to bloom short.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow! They are beautiful!! Oh to live in Hawaii!! Count your blessings. It's snowing here!Ha!!
Bonnie
Snowing? ACKkkkkkkkkkkk!
I was generously sent some cuttings of DonnaB's Monster Brug (unofficial nickname) and she is living up to her reputation (the Brug, not Donna ;~).
I get them to bloom short, perhaps, because people have sent me such terrific cuttings!!! We have also had a drought here...so those planted out are a bit stressed!
Thanks. I am having fun!
Carol
I have never heard of , looks prettty. I hope you can kill that fungus. These will be the talk of Hawaii when you get them going big.
Donna, can you imagine, your brug will be all over Hawaii, thanks to you.
You are doing great with them Carol! They look wonderful!
Now hopefully Maya will take to it here as well!!!
Carol you live in a wonderful part of the world. I would love to be able to have beautiful plants all year long. I am jealous. But I know I will never get my husband to move so guess I am stuck in this area. LOL.
Linda
I am SO thankful to be so blessed to live here. DH and I tell eachother this every day!!! Sometimes in life one makes the perfect decision!!!
Gorgeous!!!!
Awesome Carol!!
Yippee, I also have Monster White. Mine hasn't bloomed yet, but she sure is purty. I can't wait.
Here's mine from last year 'DonnaB's Monster Brug' (unofficial nickname)....she's recovering from a bout with mites while she was in the GH, but new leaves are coming out and starting to fill up again. I see little teeny weeny buds though :)
Julie
What beauties. You do live in the perfect growing zone, talk about "zone evny"
I have always wanted to visit the islands, my Mother was born there, I'm suppose to have family there. Maybe someday!
I too received some of Donna's monster brug - it is only a foot high and has Y'd already = looks like she will be a good grower!!
Great looking Brugs, Carol. Donna's Monster white is a very good bloomer.
Carol, your brugs look so healthy and happy.
