First of all...yes I did go to classic threads and skim through.
I'm not looking to do the pollinating myself. It has been stated that MOST brugs do not self pollinate,but is it possible. I still have blooms and LOTS of bees going in and out (gotta remember to look before sniffing LOL). So, on the same plant, if the same bee visits more then one flower might I end up with a pod? Or if I have 2 cuttings taken from the same Mom growing and blooming on different sides of the yard could a busy little bee go from one to the other and present me with a bouncing baby pod? Hope my questions are clear as mud. :-)) Gotta get outside and play in dirt...my finger nails are too clean!
Pollination ?
LOL! Ginger, I don't have answers for you, just wanted to say I like your sense of humor! BTW, where is Fountain? (I'm originally from and lived most of my life in West Palm Beach.)
Barb
Ginger , The only brugs that self are b.arborea and b. sanguinea.
ALSO these two can be crossed with each other but none other.
With all the other brugs
they must be cross polinated from a different type brug to get seeds.
Picky little critters then aren't they! LOL
Barb...Fountain is in the Panhandle about 30-35 miles north of Panama City. Just got in from my "greenhouse" (Mickey Mouse is alive and well) with DIRT under my nails. :-)))
Good for you! I'll loan you my nail brush.
Have you visited the Brug place in Milton? I want to go down there and see if I can expand my collection exponentially in the next few weeks.
Barb
No I haven't been there...not even sure where Milton is. Truth be told,I can't find my way out of a wet paper sack.
LOL! Know the feeling.. my ex used to tell people he could take me out in the back yard, turn me around three times and it would take me an hour to find my way home!
Milton is on the other side of the base from you. If you want me to, I'll let you know when I am going down there and maybe we could meet there and see what goodies he has!
Barb
Yes,Barb, let me know. Not sure if I will be able to join you,but worth a try. So long as I leave all money and cards home...Bill would have a hissie if I came home with stuff! LOL Guess he'd just have to get over it.
