Not only is my unknown a prolific bloomer, it is just hanging with seed pods. Lol, this may be a usual thing but it is amazing to me. This plant is now 12' tall. I just cut back the lower growth to limit the amount of real estate it was taking over and to encourage a more "treelike" growth.
Oh WOW!!! Lucky You!!

You've got yourself a real brug fluzy! ... ha!:) What other brugs do you have around it?
It basically sands alone and blooms and blooms and blooms. I put another brug in this area this summer but it is still in the shell shocked stage and put out a total of 3 flowers. Sooooo. I have a few in the back yard but they are midgets compared to this one.
That pod is wide and big too, what a HUSSY! lolol but that's ok....look at her results LOL
Nice pods!
Those peachy one's look nice too :-)
Julie
Looking good.
How and when do you know if you are getting a Pod.

You can pollinate it yourself and if it takes I've been told that the stigma gets brown in color. I thought though that all the bees around my brugs would surely pollinate my other one's...but didn't have one pod. Not one lol. Who know's. I just know that when I took a brush in the early to mid Spring and swiped some pollen off the inside of pale pink brug I have and then brushed that same brush on the stigma of the 'Adora', I waited until it was showing a pod forming. I knew it took then. I had to mark that flower with a tag so I'd know it was that one particular flower that I pollinated.
You'll see a green pod forming and it just keep getting longer or wider or both. I think it takes (someone correct me) about 3-4 months to mature. I took mine wayyyyyy too late off the bush and opened it up and they were still white...but they all germinated. Blaine has a few of my seeds and some that are blooming now. Pale pink S. X Adora ...
Hope that helped
Hugs

Thanks BrugAddict, I have Pollinated a couple of mine with Pollen that Kell so sweetly sent me, so far I see nothing, I do have some dead flowers hanging on, guess I will just have to wait and see it they 'took'
Doris
WOW! It's loaded....with blooms & pods that is!! Which fertile myrtle is she???
Well, thought it was tropical sunset but the consensus now is "Kurpark Bad Salzschlirf" but I do not care what she really is. She has been a performer, that's for sure, hundres and hundreds of blossoms. I do think that nine pods in a pile is showing off though. Lol.
'fertile Myrtle' hahahaha
lol too cute!
She definately looks like she has some B. Aurea in her.. both the pods and blooms
Lol Kin!! I am down to two tadpoles and a couple of VERY WELL ROOTED brug cuttings. The are the same one as the pod bearer and have bloomed all summer with their toes in the tadpole bucket.
