My first brug in bloom at last!

Ottawa, ON(Zone 5a)

From seed I started in February 2006, grew on over the summer and then overwintered in my basement in semi-dormancy. I repotted them this spring and placed them outside. This is Eventide x Butterfly, according to the package I received. What a thrill! A light citrus fragrance at night.

I have several others that are budding up, around the particularly unattractive fountain/water-wall at the end of our little mews.

Congrantulations Andy, I have been growing brugs. for quite a few years now and I still get excited when one is going to open up, especially if it is a seedling I have never seen bloom before.

Your Brugs looks so healthy. What's your secret from keeping those bug-brugs away???

Your Eventide x Butterfly is gorgeous!

Denver, CO(Zone 5b)

What a great color combination. Congratulations.!

I got one close-up shot before they started to fade. I've been very lucky with bugs: a few little leaf holes here and there and no mites!

Thanks for all the kind comments. I'm hoping for masses of bloom now that things are cooling down. I've changed my fetilizing strategy, more nitrogen (5-1-1 fish emulsion) seems to work better as a regular alternate with 15-30-15.
