Donna these are just gorgeous! Your one lucky lady to have those ones. Just think they may be blooming for Christmas indoors:)

Donna, they are beautiful.
Such lovely flowers!
Gosh first blooms in the end of November! LOL. Are these in your sun room? You are so lucky to have that. They look great. I can't wait for Tatiana to bloom for me too! Just gorgeous, Donna!
I am sitting here at 5 AM freezing.
Tatiana is beautiful, Donna. It's definately on my want list when she's released.
Oh WOW Donna they are beautiful. Tatiana has 6 points! Too cool.. I love the tendrils.. do they have scent? DayDreams is sooo pretty. Thank you for the pics!
They are gorgeous!
Oh Donna,
I love the Day Dreams. I just got my very well rooted cutting and if I don't kill it I should have blooms this time next year. Thanks for giving me something to look forward too.
Hugs,
Daisy
PS. I keep saying I need to make a trip to come see you. When would be a good time?
Both are gorgeous.
Ruth
Daisy anytime you want to come. Although not much to do this time of the year. Still haven't been able to make a trip out to the Islands since the back surgery. Tried once and had to turn back. It is just to rough for me now lol.
Yes Kell they are in the florida room
Thanks everyone. Tatiana is really beautiful. Hate she has become so finiky
Nice, Donna! Isn't it cool to have blooms this time of the year!
I am drooling here, they are beautiful
My brugs will grow until we get a hard freeze but I have these in the Floridaroom
I told you Donna, Tatiana is just living up to her aristocratic name. LOL.
Are you finding her neck is showing more than in the summer? I am noticing in the winter lots of my brugs have a shorter calyx than in the summer.
Donna, they are awesome! Does Tatiana usually darken up? What is the cross? I like her headlight shot too.
I am running here with the questions, sorry, lol.
I remember just seeing the Dorothea. Pretty, pretty, pretty siblings.
I recently purchased a chunky rooted DayDreams, and I am looking forward to next year now, even more. I hope to take good care of her to be able to see blooms like that and maybe even share cuttings (uh oh, I am probably jinxing myself again, lol.)
Your Tatiana is Gorgeous Donna. I too am curious if it get's darker or is a lighter pink brug. I sure love it's shape though.
She is very dark in summer. Will find some pics I took last August before the hurricane. I almost lost her to the salt water . Only 1 of 9 pieces rooted she was in such bad shape. She has been puny for over a year and is finally perking up yea!!!!!!!

Ooh, what a beautiful picture, Donna. Thanks for posting it.
I am so glad she is finally going strong for you again!
Beautiful Donna ! My DayDreams has 6 big buds just waiting to open....I can't wait ! This will be my 2nd flush.....first flush was small (3-4) and high winds knocked them all off at mid-opening. I was so sad, but this is going to more than make up for that :)
God bless everyone, Margo
I bought day dream and lost her. I do not know why she just never did well. I was sent a good rooting so it was not the growers fault. I was so proud that I had a double but that is life in the flower world. Donna when I saw that one I have to try again because she is so beautiful.
Tatiana is beautiful so I will try her too.
Thank you for the pictures, Joan
Day 3 pic of Tatiana, the Brug Color Chart # is 240,92,92
I crossed Tatiana and Day Dreams with each other. Hope they take
WOW quite the dark winter PINK! Lovely. Is the calyx longer in summer? I sure can see EP in her.
I was thinking of you today, Donna and was going to email you to see if your water had receded yet. I even talked about you. All good, LOL! I was looking at ornaments of butterflies and birds. I was wondering if you like the gaud ones or the more realistic ones. I was also looking at frog ones. LOL. Do not tell Trish. LOL
Tatiana is Rubyline x Rubyline cross from Monika's line. Ludger crossed 2 of the sister seedlings from Monika and I got Tatiana from Ludgers cross, Pete got Dorthea and there are some others out there as well.
water is down some. Duckies missing being able to swim around their cage and just using their pool to roost on lol.
I like both Kell. I am probably in trouble if I win all the porcelain ones I have bid on, on e-Bay. Most from Bradford Exchange bird and butterfly ornaments. Especially love the ones by Lena Lue. Won 2 sets(3 per set) of them out of 3 bid on yesterday. Now tonight see lady selling the entire 24 piece bird collection(8 sets)(only need set 1,4,5,6,7,8). Boy am I going to be in trouble. Will just tell DH it is my Christmas lol

Of course I had to run over to eBay and look at your ornaments. I have never heard of Bradford Exchange. I can't believe how many kinds they have. They even have Elvis ones. LOL. The hummingbird ones are so pretty, the ball ones as well as the just the hummers themselves. I also liked the stain glass butterflies. Go for it Donna, you could use some fun!
I just ran out and covered my begonias with sheets and my bromeliads and my clivia and my little brugs. I was watching the news and it said frost frost frost. I have so goofed off in getting ready for this. I hope I have tomorrow to move things into the hoophouse. I dragged some brugs onto the front porch but some are just too big and my DH is in bed. Oh well...........................
Nice pictures Donna. I'm having ISP problems and sometimes can't even get on Daves. They are coming today to check the wiring in the house. I guess I missed this one somehow. You are lucky to have blooms. It's 32 here right now....so even if I had any brugs out there, they would be toast. Keep the pictures coming. Jim's comment about pictures getting us through the winter, is right on. Thanks.
