when i bought this the person on ebay said it was going to be either pink or peach..... do they change color from this point?
and how much longer do i have to wait! its killing me, this my first brug to bloom, she was recently attacked by flea beetles :(
here is a close up
Depends on the heat level. They'll be open within a few days most likely. Patience is a virtue that I don't have. LOL
Mary
well it is going to be over 100 here for a few days so i hope sooner then later
Love your frog!!
hehe thanks, i got him when i worked at the watergarden nursery, they sell all sorts of things and he used to have feet and everything but he fell off a shelf, they were going to throw him out but i saved him lol. it is actually a working frog house, there is a HUGE male bull frog that lives under him, and at night he moves over to the pond to the right:)
Luv 'them' eyes, he's cute!!!
Neat are with the pond. Luv the frog to!
:) Donna
I liiiike it.
The Frog is really cool. I'll take it and it's resident!!
When the flowers open take a pic then go back and take another pic in a few hours then the next evening. I'm so new with brugs that it still amazes me the way they can change colors so fast.
please share the pics.... :)
oh i will, brugs are just so amazing to me, this is my first year with them and as i said this is my first blooms "sigh" i just cant wait, my DH bought me a digi cam just for daves so i can share:) lol
You're hooked for sure.
We get flea beetles on our potato plants really bad. I generally hit them with a spraying of Sevin and they are gone. I can't wait to see your brug blooms. It doesn't seem fair that they have to tease us with mostly yellow buds to start.
Thats just what i used on mine and the sevin worked great. this brug is very lucky, when i clean out the filter from the pond next her i just squeeze the filter pad in the pot:)
yes i am hooked i have like 4 of them in diffrent parts of the yard and keep wanting more:)
Oh, gosh, what does a flea beetle look like Brugie, and what kind of damage?? We have a huge potato crop this year and I don't want to take any chances...
They are little black hard shelled bugs and they jump when you brush the leaves of the potatoes. They eat lots of small holes in them. Here is a picture of them.

shes opening!!!!!
here is anuther
i cant wait to smell it! should i be able to by now?
Thanks, Brugie! I'm thinking I saw something like that, I'll be out to check EARLY in the am...
Do you have color in your blooms this morning? Did they smell good too? There are a few that have little to no fragrance. I hope this one does smell good for you. It really is too bad that they only have strong fragrance in the early evening to early morning. I could handle my yard smelling good all day too.
Anna, a member her Kristi uses her fish water and her brugs get the best pink colors. I almost bought myself fish to get such colors. But my DH said NO!! We already live in a zoo. LOL
I think my favorite bloom position is nodding like yours to outright horizontal. I like seeing the happy face on them.
I had gotten my digital camera for Christmas 2 years before I joined Dave's and never even opened it. As soon as I joined, I drove my DH nuts teaching me all about using it and downloading and posting pictures. Now I love taking pictures as much as growing brugs. You are going to have so much fun here.
yes she is turning a very pretty pink or peach could go either way:) she had a very light scent baby powderish i would say, this is one that i got on ebay, i cant wait til tonight:)
Cool. We are ready for more pictures.
nay ideas why her leaves are yellow? i feed and Esalt they are alos rough is that normal?
If they feel rough on the bottom side, it could be mite poo. You don't necessarily have to see webs to have mites. That is what it looks like to me.
