It seems like I have waited all summer for some blooms. Here is what is blooming today. I have other's that should open soon.
This first one is Peaches n' cream
Finally Blooms !!
Dr. Suess. I have had the most awful time with catapillars this summer. I have sprayed several times and still have them. I just heard on the news this morning that they are from the American butterfly that was accidently brought into Calif.
This is Golden Lady. I lost mine that I had for several years, so I bought this one and got it planted late in the season. This is it's first bloom.
This is B. susanne. I overwintered this one last year and this is it's second flush this summer. I have noticed that the blooms always look lighter in the morning and then later in the day they seem to darken up.
Patricia, those pictures are gorgeous....I just bought golden lady and hope to have just as beautiful blooms as yours....thanks for sharing your pictures...Judy
This last one is B. mountain treasure. I am disappointed that it hasn't been darker.
Judy, I was so diappointed when I lost my other one. I had it for four years and a good friend had given it to me as a gift. It was always one of my favorites and always dependable, so I had to replace it. I am hoping to make some nice crosses with it.
They are all beautiful!!
I love your Peaches and Cream!! The blooms as well as the leaves are gorgeous!
OOOOOOO I love Golden Lady! I guess it's time to whip out the checkbook again. LOL
Thank you for sharing these bloom pics.. it's been a long greeeeeeen summer. LOL
So beautiful Patricia! Your yard must be so special right now. I think your Susane is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. And so full of blooms. Mine are looking much better too but still no cigar.
I looked for a pic of an American butterfly but too many different ones came up. I sure hope it is a pretty one if we are stuck with it and it eats so much.
Golden Lady is beautiful!.....lol ZZs.....right there with you!
Thanks for sharing! My Peaches & Cream (my first brug) has just shown sign of a couple of tiny buds. Finally! I hope they make it to bloom before the weather changes too much. Evenings are getting a bit colder already (and days, for that matter.) But I bought a Charles Grimaldi this summer and it has some good-sized pods that just might make it! Woo-hoo!
Thanks, you all, for sharing your addiciton (I think!)

Peaches and Cream is not a good brug for my yard...its very slow growing and I have never seen a bloom on it ever....snowbanks is the same..now talking about Maya..this one is huge and very good at giving me huge amounts of blooms....Judy
Judy, it always does really good for me , except that the catappillars attack it every year. Even years when they don't bother my other brugs. much, they always do this one. Unfortuately for me, the Cats have been on everything all summer.
Well I would like to know what it likes to get it to grow a little faster..this winter it almsot died and just in the last month it sprouted another stem..Im hoping it gets a pretty good root system before I have to take it in..I dont think I will every buy another one if this one dies..the same goes for snowbank.....maybe I will trade that one before it kicks the bucket......judy
Great pictures, Patricia.
Patricia, looking good.
Oh Patricia! What beautiful plants and blooms those are!! That P&C is to die for, that's for sure. And the rest are, too. Lordy, I'm having the worst case of Brug envy now. ;)
Well done.

Thank you all. I just took my morning walk around the yard and it smells wonderful out there. I will be adding a few more pictures in the next few day's as other's open up.
You got it right Kin. My husband and I sit out on the patio every night . It has just been in the last week that I have noticed the wonderful fragrance at night. Now it draws me like a bee to a flower.
Here are a few brugs. that just opened up. This first one is B. ambrosia. I hadn't even noticed it blooming because they were at the back of the bush and close to the ground.
These next two pictures are of B mt. magic. It just opened up overnight and I expect it will get darker in the next day or two.
another view of Mt. magic. I got this plant late in the season and it is only about 2 ft. tall so the blooms are almost on the ground.
This last one is B. gemini . It is the cutest little white double. They look awful in this picture because the catapillers got inside the blooms and ate everything out of them.
Very nice Patricia.
my golden lady had the first two blooms had a very pretty yellow center the next two were all white so i guess you don,t know what will happen. bob
