This first picture is of the second flush from a seedling I grew out from a generous mentor (Please, who are you???)...she really is beautiful...and I think I will keep her and grow her all over the place...she is almost flourescent.
More pics...OK, so I am bragging!
Here is a shot of the road...waaaaay in the bg is Versicolor Peach, then coming forward is Maya and then a short LONG flowered something...don't know which. The road smells so wonderful in the early morning!!!
A section planted with some young palms that needed shade to start out....so we put in a bananas....
Question: One of the seedlings that has flowered is rather ordinary, white, but it has the most incredible fragrance. I am keeping it...would you?
Carol,
I'm partial toward fragrances. I'd keep her! Love that first photo.
Veronica
With beauties like that you have every right to brag!!
LOL Kin. I see AeAe also. A plant on my wish list and also on my killed list. LOL.
Oh Carol. All look good!
I keep my brugs I like until I find one I like much better with similar characteristics. So keep it till you find one you want more in its place!
Brag away girl! Your plants and pictures are an inspiration! Beautiful!
I would BRAG, BRAG, BRAG Carol they are beautiful.
You're lucky to enjoy that scent on peaceful walks......I'm envious! They're so pretty. And might I ask who that handsome (boy?) fella is with you?
Thanks...decision made...I will keep her. She's white, so it is always great to have more!
Handsome fella is DH Bob - I will have to tell him about the "boy?"....dog is Louise, her sister, Thelma, is off chasing a mouse or something!
It is exciting seeing all the seedlings flowering...almost all of them at once. Nothing unusual has come out yet...and I will let them stay until a second flush to see if the performance improves!
Carol
Carol we will let you brag all you want to as long as you send pictures. Joan
Carol, beautiful. Bragging rights well earned. I really love the shape of your white brug.
Carol, Thanks for "bragging" What beautiful plants to look at on a cold winter day. Please "brag" more.
Betty
Really, I just love to look at pretty bloom pictures. Post away and make my day!
Lucky you. Carol. Having blooms in January.
OK...more. I love this pink...but have no idea what it is...any ideas out there?
A mess of Rothkirk and Golden Lady
I think this is Hawaiian Double White....
This is that seedling from Kyle of Aurea White and Rothkirk...I call it Chubby. Not many blooms in a flush...the bush is beautiful.
This is a favorite corner of mine....the mauvish plant is Cordyline australis and the other red ones are Cordyline fruticosa....
Carol, I am off to see if australis and fruticosa will live in 8a. I am writing down all the brug names to to see if they will take the Tx. heat. Thank You for all the beautiful pictures. Joan
Does any one groweather of these plants here in zone 8a?.
cheering you on, carol! brag away! thanks for sharing your photos.

The Cordylines do VERY well in the heat...it is FROST that gets them...but in a mild frost they will die back and return in the spring...
Don't know about Brugs...we don't get that much heat here...85deg. at the most.
Carol
Thanks! I loved them all! I have looked at your Cordyline pic 10 times. I am going to get lots of Cordyline fruticosa this year. LOL. What are they? The Ti plant right? I bought 3 from ebay and they sent me logs that just sit there, for 3 months. I want an all red one so much!! Come spring I will be on the hunt.
I have a Cordyline australis and it is baby snail chocolate. The leaves are ruined. I kill them and they come for miles to strip the top layer off each leaf.
I hope your Golden Lady is kissing your Rothkirch and thinking of marriage Carol! ! LOL
I will get the Cordyline and put them in pots so I can take them in in the winter. there color is wonderful. When Kell said Ty plant then I new what there were but I have never seen them so big.
Thanks again for all the beautiful pictures. I will put some pictures up in the spring but we can't beat Ca., Fl., for growing thing. It just seams they have that perfect weather.
Brug people are working hard to get stronger plants for Tx. so it won't be long. Joan
Kell, Ti need warmth...and they should grow very fast and well. If you CUT the leaves at the bottom snails can't climb. Will try to send a picture. Also a ring of aluminum can around the bottom keeps them away....

You have all bragging rights they are great and pictures so nice enjoy them all..

We ARE very lucky here. The growing season for most things simply slow down from a gallop to a fast trot during the winter!!!

How many beds do you have available?

I'm taking a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands the end of May, but I think the cruise line might object if I came back with a bunch of plants.
Wear a big brassiere, Mary! And put in an AeAe nana for moi!! LOL
