Struttin her stuff

Greensburg, IN(Zone 6a)

Milk and Honey is realy putting on a show, Brugs are so rare in Indiana cars are slowing down, and taking pictures, I was just amazed at how many blooms she has, and she is loaded with small buds. This is one I would love to just pick up and bring in the house, she is only 4' tall but she is realy spread out.

Beautiful Doris!
I bet it's really fun seeing people look at them as they drive by. I have also had many people just stop and stare in amazement. Many people have never seen brugs before. Your Milk & Honey sure has put on a great show for you. Great job....

Northern Michigan, MI(Zone 5a)

That's beautiful !!!

I have a question though..... it appears to be in the ground and not potted . What do you do in the winter months ??? I thought unless you had an exceptional mild climate in winter the brugs had to be indoors during those months. Do you dig it up....??

Sorry for the stupid question but I'm just getting into the draw of the Brugs...lol. I think it will be an addiction.

To answer the question about winter, WEEEEEELL either must dig it up, or take cuttings, at this point I am sure the roots are too large for me to dig so I will take large cuttings, (including the Y ) and try to grow new ones for next year.

Northern Michigan, MI(Zone 5a)

Wow to start from a cutting every year it must grow really fast !!!!

Thankyou for answering!!!!!!!!

Wowser! That is some show.

I received some mystery cuttings in July and can hardly wait to see the blooms next year.

I made the front page of the local paper this morning, and I had a laugh, the editor wanted to know how you could get plants to grow in this climate, I had to explain about starting cuttings, and I told him about the Bubbler methode, well he used that name instead of Brugmansia, guess it stuck in his head or maybe he forgot how to spell BRUGMANSIA.
the paper.
