Hau, I don't imagine I will have any seeds, but I will probably be starting some log cuttings of the pink un-named brug that I have. If you would like one of those, let me know, and I can send you one in the spring.

Thanks Glenda for posting your lovely variety of pictures. It's nice to see what's going on in other parts of our great country.

Your leaves are impressive.

Glenda, do you bring your Brug inside in the winter or does it stay out? I would love to have a cutting. Spring is right around the corner.

Even here, the brugs need to be somewhat sheltered. Most people use greenhouses, or just bring them in the house. I have overwintered some just under a lean-to shelter, but it depends how cold it gets. I lost three two winters ago when we had a long spell of cold. I have never brought them in the house as I have a lot of inside plants and I dont' want them to get spider mites, if the brugs happen to have them. That's the one problem with the brugs in the house in the winter.
If you want, I can send you a couple of cuttings in a few weeks when I clean them up. I cut the stems into little log pieces, then lay them flat in a pan of dirt(half way up the cutting), and then let them go all winter. Each eye on the log will then start producing a brug which can then be transplanted in the spring. Send me a Dave-s e-mail with your address, and I will let you know when I get them cut and on their way. Here's some info on the log cuttings:

Thank you so very much. What should the postage be.

North Saanich, Canada

I'll let you know on the postage. It will probably be pretty cheap, because the cuttings are light. Once I cut them, I will put them in wet paper towel, and then in plastic, and they should be good until they get to you.
Don't forget to send me your address.

Glenda
