Do I get the award?

Do I get the award for the weirdest brug bud/bloom (trying) you have ever seen?! All the others are fine, but this guy looks like an alien brug.

Yes you do, Barbara. LOL

Barbara, just how far are you from the nuclear power plant?????? LOL!

I would give you an Award!! LOOKs pretty weird...

It does look wierd, but I would take it, Any bloom would do.
Congratulations on the wierdo. Marie

I wonder if it has anything to do with my birthplace --- Roswell, NM. LOL!

LOL Barbara!!
I was wondering?? Have you used Messenger on your brugs?
I have used messenger and noticed a few strange looking blooms. Just curious.

That is wierd, looks like it's blooming from the wrong end LOL

I think brugs simply throw weird blooms sometimes. I have used Messenger before, but very rarely (like, once of twice in the spring) and I get odd blooms with somewhat regularity. Brugs just don't seem to have as stable a form as many other flowers. I most often get weird blooms when temps are extreme (whether hot or cold). In heat, I get stunted tiny blooms. In cold, I get very light colors and - especially with those that are suav or heavily suav brugs - often shredded blooms. For me, suavs throw the most number of different "odd" blooms (did that make sense??)

I've never had one like that, though! Looks like it couldn't wait to get to the bottom of the calyx, so it made a break for it at the top! lol!

Interesting -- yes, I've used Messenger and it has been extremely hot. I can't wait to see it open! I'll post a pic in the next couple of days when it opens.

Hmmm ... weirdness - messenger ...... messenger weirdness ... Too much weirdness coupled with messenger seems to be happening. Makes ya wonder!

hmmmm,,,, too hot and dry here for spraying anything on these poor plants.. except a mist of cool water. and I might need a "loan" for water bill... :)) Elaine

No kidding! My water bill was $193! Yikes!!!! We had a 1/2" rain about 6 wks ago and it was 7 weeks before that when we had a little rain. I don't know what this is all about, but if it keeps up I may have to give some plants away.

I hear ya! My water bill is bigger now than when I had a pool.
